Its amazing what we can do with modern browsers today.

Our app plug: 7 years back we did a quick tool to shrink JPG's in browser (Again needs Chrome or Firefox) without uploading images to server: http://shrinkjpeg.com

Seriously! We were trying to build our video editor in the same style (eg like tinypng and GIF optimizers).

It's so cool to do it all in the browser!

I even built a simple landing page creator that let you change text and images, then created a zip file that you could extract to your web host - no backend needed!

I think for me, CORS is the biggest hindrance to some of my ideas, esp. around editing, creation, and working with the content.
