Actually, I started with the precomputing approach you mentioned. But I realized that for many users, setting up a backend to process videos or managing pre-generated assets is a huge barrier.

I purposely pivoted to 100% client-side extraction to achieve zero server load and a one-line integration. While it has limits with massive data, the 'plug-and-play' nature is the core value of VAM-Seek. I'd rather give people a tool they can use in 5 seconds than a high-performance system that requires 5 minutes of server config.
