Reverse engineered prompt
Build me the classic OpenCut app, a simple privacy first video editor that feels like the free basics people liked in CapCut, but keeps everything on the user’s device. I want the main experience to be the web app, running locally in the browser, with a clean editing workflow that is easy for normal people to understand.
Please focus on the parts that seem realistic in this codebase, especially timeline editing, project management, performance, and general UI polish. It should feel usable for arranging clips and managing an edit, not like a rough demo. Keep the app simple and approachable.
Don’t spend time trying to invent big new features that are clearly still in flux here. Fancy preview panel work and export can stay limited or untouched if they are being refactored. If there is any desktop side already started, keep it secondary and make sure the web version is the priority.
Set it up so it runs locally with the existing dev flow, and check current docs online if you need to fill in setup details.
