Whenever I see "pro" in a domain name, there's usually a subscription or upgrade waiting for me at the other end, or something I have to sign up for. Nice to see that your site isn't one of those. Thanks for the free tools, man.

Your Privacy-Proof page is also reassuring. I would make it more prominent, but that's just me. It is great that it is there in the first place. Honesty always.

Two questions: - Do you have a GitHub repo for this? - Also: What made you decide on that `.pro` domain? Just curious.

+1 to everything @retmarut said! A GitHub repo for this would be great.

Also, the website's light mode is just glaring! :D

The .pro was a matter of availability vs cost :) Regarding the repo I do have it but tis private. Do you believe there is value to open it?

Could you share GitHub? Also image background remover doesn't seem to work on my PC (macOS 26.5.1, chrome 149.0.7827.103)

Same. Having a form/link to report bugs would be nice.

Also not working for me. Along with the text extraction. :(

Allow me to suggest a form where people can leave their email to get updates or a newsletter from you! Brevio is the kind of thing that a lot of people look for, and value. The fact you're not charging and it all runs locally earns you a lot of trust and goodwill.

I'm not suggesting monetising your audience or starting a substack, but you never know when having a list of people who are interested in the things you build could come in handy.

I wouldn't even think you'd need to send a confirmation email: just leave it there and see who fills it in.

Thank you so much for the suggestion! Will consider it for the next iteration! R

Actually, I use Raycast on macOS for easier use; it would be great if you could add this as a plugin there.

I am amazed and impressed, but someone should point out here some of the gaps in vision and effort or craft that lead to manual spam like “How to Compress Images Without Uploading Them (2026)”

I know it’s 2026 and on mobile but the correct “how to” will lead with gzip or existing native compression and provide this workaround as an alternative rather than as a literal modern replacement.

I an spending more effort to critique than the thing was given to begin with, but someone took the effort to downvote a criticism of, no offense intended to the end user, literally AI spam clickbait headlines for ranking, and so I feel engaged.

Ok, here’s a hint. They’re mostly not the fault of this person promoting something new.

Unbelievably cool, keep it up!

More vibe coded AI slop?

Probably. But at least it's useful and runs locally. Better than all the predatory apps that you have to download 100mbs to do something this website can do instantly without downloading anything or sending anything to a server.

Yeah, look at the guides too. They're all ctrl+c ctrl+v straight from an LLM with no proper formatting, lol. https://brevio.pro/guides

Why mess with scrolling?

fixed

Have you checked out https://sunasty.com It seems to have more tools available.

Please remove the scroll jacking, there is just no need.

It's vibe coded AI slop, he probably has no idea the page is scroll jacking.

They does not have to. AI reads HN discussion and improves. We are all part of the agent loop.

Neat. Where can I submit feedback? Cargo.lock shouldn’t be in gitignore :)

Normalize not writing "I built" for vibecoded sites with generic Claude UI.

Normalize being a nice person who doesn’t rip on people for no reason.

How to be a nice person without uploading (no offense)

Is there an way for me as user to be sure that the no upload promise holds? I mean yeah I could use the dev tools, but it would be cooler to have the browser eg prohibiting visually any upload of data beyond the pure url request

Of course not.

You can download the source and so you only need to vet it once.

Thanks for making these, and sorry that Hacker News has so much of the “thanks I hate it” crowd. It’s a good thing you’re doing - especially to provide them without monetizing. Though one could generate these tools themselves if needed, the generated tools won’t be as refined as you’ve codified here and won’t be immediately available for use - they have to be generated!

The website is great and functional but if I may, it needs some tweaks so it matches the offer. Since the offering’s about doing less (no login, no upload) you’d be better to go with “less is more” on the feel, and only use animations - or interfere with scrolling - if such things truly add extra information. All the animations there now are decoration. The tools have no such decoration, and that causes dissonance.

Gonna be bookmarking this while wishing for a search engine that finds stuff like this instead of its SEOed out the wazoo compatriots. But maybe there’ll always be value in human curation.

cool stuff! How much traffic do they generate / how long did it take to get to it?

The first tool I tried, Background Remover, I can't even upload the image. AI coded slop

Read all your feedback, thank you so much for it! Just released a new version that brings your feedback to life and a few more sweets. Regarding Raycast, working on it... Check it out and keep it coming!
