Initially I built this because I couldn't get any existing software working on my MacBook, and I had Jupiter and Saturn video data lying around to, waiting to get stacked. Autostakkert and other tools didn't work (neither via Wine etc). I played around with Planetary System Stacker by Rolf Hempel, and that seemed to work after some self made fixes. However this software nightmare is not very inviting to beginners (including me), so I decided to help the community with a web-based version. Also the UX of these existing apps.. eise.app covers the whole pipeline. You load a video, and after 1 or 2 minutes the post process loads with the best frames stacked. Additionally there is a quality selector step in between, where the threshold for good images can be choosen manually. All ranking, analyzing, AP stacking and post processing runs on the GPU (using webGPU), so it's FAST. P.S. In the meantime I got Autostakkert!4 working, but I got so involved in this project that I kept working on it.
