Thank you! Yes, a Windows release is coming! Perhaps not for at least a month but it's definitely on my roadmap :)

Thank you for the feedback! At the moment it's not scroll-aware, but it's an excellent idea, thank you.

I won't be able to make it app-aware, given the very rigid security posture (complete sandbox), but I may be able to make it scroll-aware, so at least within the same window it'd move relative to the 'global' position. I'll look into it :)

That is a great idea! I'll add that, thank you :)

Hey, thanks for the feedback, the cursor movement is smoothed out in the screen recording tool.

I tried to strike a balance, original videos felt a bit too distracting with unfiltered cursor movements.

This might work! I'll implement this and see how it feels, thanks.

And I'd love to make it for iPads too, just struggling to find the optimal UX for enabling and disabling the overlay.

On macOS you can just use the global hotkey or the app menu, on iPad I'd have to wire it up somehow else - supper happy to get ideas on what would feel seamless and unobtrusive for you. I'll definitely implement it then!

> ChatGPT has a phenomenal brand. That's worth 100x more than "product stickiness". They have 700 million weekly users

I don't think majority of those 700m people use the product because of the brand. Products are a non-trivial contributor to the brand.

Also, if it were phenomenal, they wouldn't be called ClosedAI ;)

Feels like shifting the goalposts and trying to brand a new working definition of E2EE
