      It's a static SinglePage web applicaiton that runs everything completely locally on your machine. it also mean the better computer you have the better performance.

        what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? you've totally missed a basic feature of the app that you're trying to replicate

          It's a bit far fetched to imply rendering clouds is a core feature. This app is not even trying to be photoshop, where that would be expected, it's a design app, ala Figma.

            Exactly, the primary idea is to edit vector files; Hoewever, I am trying to add features for raster files as well.

            currently the raster editing features are not quite there yet, and I need time (a lot of time) to make it in a quality that doesn't drive user crazy (I'm first user to this app in the first place and I don't like it when it's not snappy and smooth)

          I don't replicate, I am creating an aleternative for myself and people like me that they need an advanced app but can't afford to give an arm and a leg.

        I think they mean the Filter > Render > Clouds feature in Photoshop rather than local vs cloud
