Since I have showdead on I might as well offer a bit of advice.

> We’re excited to announce

Part of what goes wrong when you let LLMs write everything (not just the code which itself leverages AI) is that nobody has a reason to care about the developers. If you don't review things like this for style you end up creating the impression that you don't care about making yourselves known, either. That's not a good look for Show HN.

If you're trying to apply restrictions on commercial use, I'd have a qualified lawyer look over your LLM-generated additional license terms, too. Preferably one with specific knowledge of intellectual property law and of open source in general. Ideally also have a human review whether these terms are compatible with the OSI definition of open source.

Oh, and the offsite documentation should probably repeat the installation instructions.

We are working on finalizing the license details, thank you for pointing that out.

I like this, and much needed.

That said, a simple hosted demo or code-sandbox would make this easier to demo and test as a user. It'd help to see the expected behavior as well. I don't want to checkout the repo or spin up a sandbox.

Nice suggestion! We are working on having a Video-editor studio based on Twick, hosted on our domain for trying out all the features. We will make sure to update it on Hacker News once it’s ready.

The Apache + random other conditions license is really confusing.

Thanks for your feedback. Initially, we thought this would be the license to start with, but we are working on it to make it more usable and developer-friendly. We recognize the confusion and are aiming for a solution that is clear and easy for everyone to adopt.
