I built it because when people search Google for common PDF tasks, many of the tools they find upload documents to a server. I wanted an option that keeps files local instead.

I posted an earlier version on HN last spring:\nhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43880962

At the time it only supported a small set of features. Over the last 10 months I rebuilt large parts of it and expanded it to nearly 40 tools, including several ideas that came from comments in that earlier thread.

There is also now a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus a CLI/SDK for developers.","time":1774792052,"title":"Show HN: BreezePDF – Free, in-browser PDF editor","type":"story","url":"https://breezepdf.com/?v=3"}],[47571012,{"by":"coderredlab","descendants":1,"id":47571012,"kids":[47658098,47571018],"score":2,"text":"$16","time":1774851635,"title":"Show HN: RedTerm, an Android SSH terminal for clipboard image upload","type":"story","url":"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coderred.redterm&hl=en_US"}],[47616515,{"by":"olieidel","descendants":1,"id":47616515,"kids":[47658084],"score":2,"time":1775146879,"title":"Self-Hosting Cap (Loom Alternative) for 8.32€ / month: Hetzner and S3 and Caddy","type":"story","url":"https://eidel.io/posts/self-hosting-cap-loom-alternative-hetzner-s3-caddy"}],[47599218,{"by":"gray_wolf_99","descendants":1,"id":47599218,"kids":[47658075],"score":2,"text":"I built this website to upload and share files up to 100 GB.

It prints the shareable URL immediately with a QR code, shows real-time progress, and supports --resume for interrupted uploads. When piped, only the URL goes to stdout.

Files are temporary (~90 hours), no accounts, no sign-up. no api-key needed.

I've also reached out to the owner a couple of times (via chat and via email) over the last year and never got a reply.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so, is there any other kind of listing you look for EU alternatives to US software/hardware?

Thanks!
