From the example to your first post

RiffStage now shows what a finished post can look like during setup. A short clip about a fictional tea makes the workflow clear before you create an account.

The example is called Nordlicht Tea and runs for six seconds. You can play it locally on the Mac, right in the setup assistant. It shows how the workspace brings your own images, clips, copy and audio into one post that you can preview and export.

I wanted setup to put the decisions in a sensible order. You can sign in or restore an existing purchase first, then choose how you want to use RiffStage. The assistant keeps its navigation in the same place when a message appears. When restoring purchases, the app now distinguishes a successful check that found no matching purchase from a check that failed.

The product page shows both the tea example and the actual editor. It also explains which work stays on the Mac and when an online service is involved. The recent account and purchase flows were exercised in Apple's test environment. RiffStage is still in development.

One account, less setup work

I am working towards using RiffStage without collecting separate provider credentials. Requests and usage should still be understandable before production starts.
