no worries at all - I appreciate the feedback. Out of curiosity, what makes you think this is a tarpit idea? I roughly understand the term as "ideas that seem obvious and easy, but have non-obvious problems".

Ideally, we would like Revideo to be used to build any kind of web-based video editor. A lot of video editors exist, and many of them make a lot of money. Based on my experience, building a video editor from scratch is also really hard - I would think that people would choose a framework that makes it easy to build them if it exists.

My biggest worry is more about the technical difficulty of the problem (becoming the standard way to build a category of products is probably not easy), rather than this being an actual problem. I'd love to hear your opinion though!
