Reddit Photopea founder – I have millions of users, but no businesses use it

I just want to comment and say thank you for linking to old.reddit instead of the worse standard version.

Don't feel too bad - he comments he is making $100k monthly from the ads.

I think the creator is right about businesses preferring desktop apps. In a way it also mirrors my experience with photopea, great app but I keep forgetting it. I love it but I use gimp just because it's there. Why doesn't he wrap it with electron and release also a desktop app?

I worked for the main commercial alternative (starts with C). The main draw for users was the extensive library of royalty free stock media. Literally millions of items. Also the features were far ahead. Also a sales team and 2000 staff. I guess it all adds up. Maybe start with getting funding and a few account managers?

Only related to this:<p>&gt;P. S. Photopea runs in a web browser and I think 60% of businesses do not trust such tools, as they are used to &quot;own&quot; the software and have it in their device (even though Photopea never uploads any singe bit of data, everything runs in your computer). It will probably take decades to change that.<p>Honest question, can it not be made to run (still inside the web browser) locally?<p>I am not familiar with the software, but how does it work in cases of poor&#x2F;intermittent internet connection?

I always reffer to Photopea as the best web app I have ever seen.

Great site. Speak to Sam Parr (hustle founder) about this he has some ideas for you.

It&#x27;s missing design templates and requires Photoshop knowledge, that&#x27;s why businesses use Canva for bread and butter design work!

i don&#x27;t understand why this is celebrated. it&#x27;s a straight ripoff of photoshop. sure, it&#x27;s fast and everybody hates adobe but it&#x27;s not cool to copy everything single feature they developed over so many years.
