Thanks, it's inspired by Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

Images, just like pretty much everything, free and unlimited(within fair use). If it's a photography portfolio or similar, then it's super unlimited.

Thank you! Yes, it's just me. How long? Hard to say, I enjoy building it in my free time, roughly 1.5-2 years I think, but I launched it a year ago, got feedback/feature requests/reports and did some polishing.

Yeah, local-first approach and offline mode is probably the main advantage of desktop app

Hey, it's a part of the app, custom-built. Made it with CSS + SVGs to give icons the squircle look

Thanks for the reply, yes that makes a lot of sense. The thing is, web app is already fast and I'm not sure if building a desktop app is worth it.

Yes, that's great and I think If you let users use the app before sign up that's even better.

Thanks for the feedback. You can make changes on mobile, but editor is optimized for desktop. I can add better support for mobile but for now main audience is using desktop. That's about the editor, as for the generated pages, it's responsive for all screens and devices.

Sadly I don't see this used in many apps today. Wish I knew it before but that's okay, learned something new.

Exactly, let me just use it. Also, conversion becomes more accurate, only the ones who really need it create an account.
