Man, with all of the anti-user "features" of social sharing apps, your interface is a breath of fresh air!

I'll be trying out the open source version this weekend so I can share links with my nerdy friends more easily, but trying out the saas version really showed how horrible social share sites are these days.

This is awesome! Good job on it :) Wish you had a mailing list signup - I don't want to forget about this!

I took a one month Spanish class in Mexico a few years ago. It was amazing for giving me a solid base, and your tool would be perfect for getting regular practice in and learning new things.

Definitely agree with the other comments that a more modern book would be better. For me, probably a children's book haha. I can't imagine how much time it takes to translate though!

Idea:

- Create a list of a few books you could translate.

- Allow users to donate and select the book it would go towards.

- When donations reach the threshold, they're charged and you write it.

Like Kickstarter for book translations haha. Or maybe Patreon or something has that feature.

I also took a peak at your code and saw the manifest. This would be a pretty awesome PWA :)

I hope you keep at it!

Yeah, and Spectre/Meltdown haven't helped.

There are some pretty crazy security restrictions (no external scripts!) just to get ffmpeg running. I can't imagine the additional security precautions that would prevent exploits for WebGPU.

Definitely a performance hit! Probably a combination of the lack of hardware acceleration and running in a JS virtual machine.

I haven't checked the exact hit, but that's mostly because our focus for this tool was on people who would never touch ffmpeg or a command line.

Also, the alternative for us would've been to upload remotely and run on Lambda or similar, which I think would lack hardware acceleration as well.

Interesting idea, like append the video to itself but reversed for a clean loop? I like this idea :)

Seriously! We were trying to build our video editor in the same style (eg like tinypng and GIF optimizers).

It's so cool to do it all in the browser!

I even built a simple landing page creator that let you change text and images, then created a zip file that you could extract to your web host - no backend needed!

I think for me, CORS is the biggest hindrance to some of my ideas, esp. around editing, creation, and working with the content.

Oh that tool is neat, and they have a super slick UI!

Our tool definitely isn't as slick, but I think that has its benefits too. Like our trim interface doesn't look as nice, but shows a live preview of where you're at in the video.

I want their UI and style haha

This is super cool, love to see more people working in this space!

Would love to chat about what you guys doing.Potentially collab and improve both our products!

Reach out rahul@modfy.video

Emailing you now :)

Sorry if you were having trouble because the website was down. We upgraded the server and it seems to be doing a little better!

But also get it if you mean you're not in a good place to test the tool at the moment haha

I have managed to try it now, and indeed it is almost perfect for my use case : Often I find videos on youtube for example which I want to show snippet to someone or save it. So I download it easily with youtube-dl but then clipping is never really easy (especially on linux).

To improve the tool it would be nice to play the part clipped with the sound to check if it's ok. Also the tool failed to load one video.

Good job !

Hey, this feedback is great! And it isn't even too difficult to add - we have live clipped playback in our main app.

When it failed to load the video, did it show a convert option that failed to load it as well? I think there are some limitations to the ffmpeg.wasm compile. Do you know the extension, or any details of the codecs, etc?

If you send me an e-mail (andrew@<domain in link>), I can dig in a bit more and let you know when I add it :)

Thanks! DO made it kind of easy to upgrade the virtual machine haha.

It's up - for now :)
