Images can get rather big, I would prefer not to be uploading/downloading big images to the interwebs, it just makes sense to have it all local for Photoshop type work.
For this reason I would like to see a version of Photopea that is open source and can be installed 'docker style' on one's local machine. This would complement the online version.
Right now, as things stand, I am not ready to move to an online image editor, the local file access is important and without it I am not going to invest time learning a new tool.
I am mightily impressed though, incredible effort and from my few minutes with it, I think you have something very polished for a first reveal. I am fairly sure the UX is better than Gimp - the often criticised Gimp!
There is no upload or download in Photopea, it runs completely inside a browser. After Photopea.com is loaded, you can disconnect from the internet and keep using it, open and save your local files. The web platform is just for the easy distribution and updates (so nobody uses outdated versions).
The UI of PP is very similar to Photoshop and other programs, so should not be supposed to learn anything new.

Although Gimp's UX sucks, they are really concious of not wanting to just be a photoshop clone. Photopea's UX seems like it has been thought about even less, in that it is just an unashamed direct copy of photoshop (even down to the order of the tools in the left hand panel)
I think its an interesting project, and certainly an achievement for a single person, but its not going to be 'the best photo editor in the world' if it is just trying to be photoshop.
