Very nice, a couple of things you could improve:

- Mention that the image processing is done in the browser (and therefore works offline), which is great for privacy.

- Memorise the settings from one session to the next, via localStorage, or in the URL with `nuqs` (disclaimer: I'm the author).

- Your links in /about (cobalt.tools and your personal domain) don't work.

- You might want to set the html,body background colour to black, to avoid flashes of white background in weird viewport sizes and when overscrolling.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll update the site to mention that image processing happens in the browser for better privacy.

Saving settings via localStorage or nuqs is a great idea—I’ll look into adding that.

I’ve already fixed the broken links in /about, thanks for pointing it out!

The black background suggestion makes sense to prevent white flashes; I’ll implement that.

Regards, Developer :)

Sorry, I just realized you're the author of nuqs—it's a privilege to get a suggestion directly from you! I'll definitely consider adding it in my webapp. Thanks again!"
