“Writing will remain valuable” and “writing is a safe job” are two very different claims.
AI doesn't need to write better than the best humans. It only needs to be good enough to replace a large part of the mundane paid writing that used to support writers while they developed their craft.
I created
https://arcraiders.website, to help you manage your stash. And with the Loadout Crafter, you can now prepare your raids, by knowing exactly what to loot topside (materials and items that recycles into the materials you need). Give it a try, and please share your feedback if you have any.
Good Luck Top Side!

I’m an indie dev, and every time I launch or ship anything, there’s this familiar mini-hell: “now I need to record a decent demo…”You probably know the drill:- install yet another screen recorder
- mess with audio input / system audio
- accidentally capture your messy tabs or notifications
- re-record because you forgot to hide something sensitive
- open a separate editor just to crop, zoom, or...
Thanks! I really appreciate the suggestion — that’s a great idea, and I’ll definitely consider using Web Workers/WASM for handling bulks.
You clearly know your stuff — really professional feedback!
Convert SVG->PNG Added,
now it support more From formats:
From format: "SVG, HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, JPG, PNG or WebP"
To format: "PNG, JPG, WEBP"
Not use other specific libraries, only the in browser canvas api.

I think a quick tool online is more convinient for common use cases, without install software. when-ever, where-ever a browser is ok.
however, for professional requirements and use cases, a professional software is a MUST choice.
different requirements, different service to met :)
It is easy to verify that:
One way to demonstrate that all processing is being done locally is to load the website, disconnect from the internet, and then use the site.
Hey, thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate you taking the time to write this
Totally agree with you on the UX point. I also believe these tools should be almost invisible — just drag, drop, adjust a few settings, and done. I initially added more text to make the privacy aspect clear (since many users don’t realize it’s 100% local), but you’re right — that could be simplified and better communicated with a single line. I’m already working on a cleaner layout with fewer distractions and a clearer “drop zone.”
Good catch on the title too! I started with “PNG to JPG converter” for SEO reasons, but as the app expanded to support multiple formats (WebP, PNG, JPG.), that label became outdated. I really like your suggested phrasing — something like “ImageConverter — Convert images between formats, locally” is a lot clearer and more accurate.
And thanks for sharing Mazanoke — hadn’t seen that before! Love that it follows the same “everything local” approach. I’ll take a closer look; maybe I can learn a few UX tricks from it as well.
Appreciate your kind words and testing it out! If you have any other UX ideas or thoughts on layout simplification, I’d love to hear them
do not use ai,it just crop image, or adjust image dimensions and file size if bulk,it use in browser ability to complete the tasks
Resize could be ether dimensions or file size, resize is a bit (Homographic pun)
Great explanation!
Maybe I should not use the text ’upload’ to avoid the confusion
Thanks for your advice, I’ll update some of the text to fix the issue
Images never upload to any server, all images processed in your browser
Oh, The privacy policies is a template, Here privacy is mainly refer to the images data never upload to any server.
sure,I will try to add SVG support tomorrow

The one-day journeyMorning:
I wrote down the idea — “resize multiple images in bulk, no upload”Evening:
I deployed it, registered a domain, added PWA support so users can “install” it on desktop,
and pushed it live: https://bulkresizeimages.online/The entire flow — idea → refine → code → deploy → domain → launch — took about 12 hours.Building it reminded me how fast you can move when you keep...
Cool,I also want a font for my handwriting
Great read! The analogy between physics and infosec is spot-on—both rely on understanding fundamental principles that are often overlooked. The "AES256-over-HTTP" anecdote is both hilarious and terrifying, highlighting how abstraction can hide critical gaps. As a dev, I see similar issues when devs prioritize speed over security basics. Curious—what’s your go-to approach for teaching devs about PKI or mTLS without overwhelming them?
I found that This website also works as a hot tweet aggregator to surface trending and viral tweets for instant inspiration, so I add this to the description.
wow! I used PuTTY about 18 years ago.
