so interestingly, one of the most popular URLs imported from the extension is actually localhost:3000, meaning people use it to import their own design context and iterate on it.
It pains me that people jump to the worst use case (copying). This is why we push the conversion/editing so hard, so that folks make it their own. Clearly we still need to do a better job of that.
hey! other co-founder here — yeah, it does go through our backend systems for processing. We also store it in our db so people can iterate on it further in our web app. At the moment, no designs created via our extension are actually featured in our public catalog, but we do also support a private option for those folks who need private designs!
