So commercial-grade batch processing of images on other people’s infrastructure and dodging any form of compensation is 100% worth complaining about? OK.

Doesn’t photopea run locally?

You can’t just save the webpage as HTML and run it (which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp, even though I tried to explain it to him in another thread). But technically, all of the image processing code for cropping, saving, painting on the image etc. runs locally.
You can see that easily for yourself, just disconnect your internet after opening the site and it continues to work just fine.
That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server while not paying a dime are unfunded.

*whoosh*
I fully grasp it, I was just pointing out how insane your claim is that you don’t use their server resources by making an equally insane counter point.
Yes, exactly this insane claim.

You claimed that I was uploading and batch-processing images on the developers’ infrastructure. I tried to tell you it’s not true, because all of those features still work without internet. Load photopea.com, disconnect your internet - tadaa, you can still “upload” images, crop them, save them, draw on them…
I must be a magician if I can connect to the developers’ machine without any connection at all. There is only one person in this thread who cannot understand how basic technology works. And it’s not me.
