Comment on Show HN: VidStudio, a browser based video editor that doesn't upload your files

Comments

Wild that privacy became a feature and not the default. Building in this space too and the no uploads needed angle is surprisingly hard to communicate to users who've been trained to expect everything to live in the cloud.

I think the majority of users want their data in the cloud. Edit on desktop, send link to work to client, client looks at it on their phone. No need to export. Change something, client sees it immediately.

Even if it's not business. Sister shares video she edited of party. Mom points something out, sister makes edit.

I'm not saying there's no use to local only solutions. I'm only saying that I suspect for most users, the benefits of in the cloud are something they want.

Yes and yet perfectly logical when the most successful business models are about selling private data.
