I find this fact mind blowing:

Right now, Photopea is about 1.4 MB (most of it is zipped javascript).

880 kB is the actual program

150 kB are localizations to 38 languages, with 650 phrases in every language

116 kB is a database of gradients, brushes, patterns and contours

84 kB are icons (112 of them, in a 160x160 px resolution)

23 kB is a font database (names, categories and URLs for 4700 TTF files)

From one of the comments:

"With ads, you can make between 2 to 6 USD per 1000 visits on your webpage. So with 3 millions of visits, I can make between 6 to 18 000 USD a month, it depends on a month and an ad provider (I have been testing several of them lately)."
