    From the README

    OpenCut is being rewritten from the ground up. What's coming:

    You can still find the previous version at opencut-app/opencut-classic, which is the one to reach for today. opencut.app still runs the classic version; the rewrite will live at new.opencut.app until it's ready to take over.
