Some random notes and thoughts from the first try:

Front page:

- I really like the simple layout & design

- It loads 45 MB of GIFs. Maybe using actual <video>s or just JPG/WEBP photos in a slideshow would be better for webpage use – smaller size and better image quality.

- What do the Dell/Uber/… logos mean in this context?

- Which nonprofits do you donate to?

Video creator itself:

- Another huge GIF

- You're trying to load something from `HTTP://zeus.instantvideos.org/` on a HTTPS page, which produces a warning in some browsers, and is blocked altogether in some others (like my FF 66)

- When selecting photos to use, clicking the selection marker circle does nothing. Clicking the image outside the circle selects it, but i kinda expected the circles to behave like checkboxes

- The "check" button in the coupon form is hidden behind "back" and "purchase" buttons in wider viewports (and scroll does not work in that container): https://i.vgy.me/utX2Fx.png

- When i tried importing from my instagram account, nothing apparent happened. After poking around in browser devtools, it got HTTP 500 from us-central1-awesome-video-maker.cloudfunctions.net/instagram with a "user page has only 15 posts" message. Maybe it could print that to the form somewhere…

- Some free demo (max. five photos with your watermark?) would be nice

- /favicon.ico returns the HTML page itself for some reason (ah, it seems that all 404s are redirected to index.html)
