Submitted my Show HN 1075 days ago (https://photoeditor.polarr.co/), for a WebGL photo editing tool, now has turned into a startup with more than 10M users.

Just wanted to let you know that your website is shown to me in very badly translated Dutch, personally I'd rather have correct English than bad Dutch, but I don't see a way to change it.

Same thing in French. inexplicably, "key" (I suppose) is translated not as "touche" (or wrongly but understandably as "clef") but as "robinet" ("sink tap"). Oh I just got it. The original in some other language probably is equivalent to the verb "press", translated to "tap", then to "robinet" which is comically absurd.

For me it was not translated. Though it should have been to Dutch as well.

Perhaps because I used it on my mobile phone.

Same for me with Russian.

And the Show HN didn't even do well. What's surprising is that you got positive feedback from the few comments, a rarity among Show HN :)

I'm so glad I saw this.

I got a camera recently and have been debating whether or not to get Adobe's photographer package. Currently I just use Lightroom mobile.

Now I'm thinking I'll probably go with this. It looks really good!

What exactly does 10M users mean?

Well, I'm guessing probably doesn't mean "ten million" in this particular case.

"M" is one of those fundamentally ambiguous type of abbreviations that really shouldn't ever be used. (Kind of like nn/nn/nn date formats.)

It is commonly used to mean both "thousand" (M was the Roman numeral for 1000) and "million" (10K, 10M, 10B).

Why not? 10M seems the obvious.

10 million seems like the clear interpretation here. What's more, 10,000 is X in Roman numerals.

I think andrewstuart was asking what qualified as a "user": how many were active, how much they engaged, etc.

Yeah, I didn't think they were literally using Roman numerals to describe their user base; I thought they were using the "10M == 10,000, 10MM == 10,000,000" notation that is (for some reason) popular with financial-type people[1].

But anyway, I was wrong; I poked around on the site and they indicate they really do have millions of users. So: wow, nice work!

Last time I used this it claimed to process raw files, and then just ripped the embedded JPEG and used that.

Is this still the case?

How does your "clarity" filter work?

Nice UI, except it seems a bit unresponsive.
