Since then, I’ve added a set of image tools that also run entirely client-side:
- Image compress, resize, crop, rotate, and format conversion
- Image → PDF and mixed image + PDF workflows
- Basic photo editing (text, filters, watermarks)
- Upscaling and background removal
- HTML/URL → image capture and face blurring
Everything runs locally in the browser (Canvas, WASM).
No backend, no uploads, no tracking.
For context, the original post saw ~9.5k visitors over two weeks.
Average visit duration was ~40s, which fits the single-task nature of the tools.
Posting as a progress update rather than a re-launch.

I built a Python-based video upscaler that prioritizes privacy and local execution.Most AI video tools today are cloud-based, which isn't ideal for private media or long-form archival projects. This tool brings a professional upscaling pipeline directly to your machine.Why I built this:
I wanted a simple "one-command" way to take old SD footage (like home movies or archival clips) and upscale...
I don’t have a role model, bro, and I don’t need to justify anything to you. You’re not that important-so yeah, go ahead and make some contribution to the world, not here

what you suggest what price we can sell for ?
“Sorry about that. Some people jump to conclusions about things they don’t fully understand. I’m just trying to build something useful and contribute to the community, but reactions like this can make it difficult
don't want to go in debate. It's ok, I used LLM to make a product faster
change my mind after the tailwind thing happened not going to open source it for now.
yah good Idea I will try to implelment it
ah ok but it's good for non-Mac users and Windows users right ?
sorry for that will fix it
Good questions.
Image-only PDFs (scans):
These are the hardest case. If a PDF is basically high-res images (like iPhone scans), browser-based tools have limits compared to ImageMagick, which has much finer control over resampling and JPEG compression. Ghostscript-style pipelines help, but ImageMagick often wins if you’re willing to discard more detail. Improving this is on the roadmap, but it’s genuinely tough in-browser.
PDF forms:
Adobe doesn’t own forms, but editable PDF forms are extremely complex and poorly standardized. Many free tools avoid true form editing because it’s easy to break files. That’s why I haven’t enabled it yet—possible, just time-consuming and error-prone.
Yes good Idea to create an app Let's do it
ILovePdf - $10–15M annually
Smallpdf makes $20M+ per year
So Claude Workspace is also written using the Claude LLM—does that mean you would stop using the product?
Thanks. After the recent incident with Tailwind around revenue and sustainability, it’s difficult to make this open source for now
Okay, let me ask you a question—how much have you contributed to the open-source community? Share the list so we can check
After the incident with Tailwind CSS, I decided not to make this open source. Sponsorship has been zero since COVID, so it’s genuinely hard for open-source developers to sustain their work
So if a platform is vibe-coded, it suddenly has no value? When the Spotify founder vibe-codes an app, it’s praised—but when an open-source contributor like me does it, it’s seen as a bad thing? That doesn’t seem fair
Just to be clear, I’ve been contributing to the open-source community since 2020, and I have no intention of misleading anyone. The use of the word ‘love’ isn’t about branding off another product-it’s simply a tool I personally needed, so I built it. If you’d like, you can also check my GitHub to see my work.
Thanks for pointing this out. You’re right - some assets are currently loaded at runtime, which can cause actions to hang if the internet is cut mid-session. All PDF processing itself happens locally in the browser, and as you noticed, serving the page locally works fully offline. Improving offline behavior and making this easier to verify is on the roadmap
