I can see how this is useful for laypeople. Those with a DIY attitude might resort to popular image editing tools. My choice would be trying to achieve this with Imagemagick. Fred Weinhaus' script http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/skew/index.php and maybe adding a blur later.

In Gimp it's Tools, Transform Tools, 3D Transform.

This is a good idea to add visual novelty to images, especially plain ones.

The problem is the moat is very low: as low as 1 30-second YouTube video on using the transform tool in the case of Gimp.

Doesn't seem very defensible - but maybe if you add versioning & various other features (links for images, etc.) it could be.

One can make so many fun things as client-side web tools by compiling ImageMagick to Wasm!

One thing I played around with because I needed it myself was turning pictures into things that look like they've been scanned. Made for documents, but I suppose one could use it for screenshots as well. :) https://photocopy.fuglede.dk
