    My goal is to create a free media downloader that doesn't bother you. friendly, efficient, and has no paywalls or anything like that. I've been working on that for the last 3 weeks or so, it's not perfect yet, but it works, and I'm really excited to share it.

    Hey HN I built ImageConverter.dev because I got tired of “free” image converter sites that force uploads, or throttle conversions.

There’s no upload, no tracking, no server costs, and it’s fast even on mid-range devices. Why I built it I wanted an instant, no-ads,…

As a unique feature, it also made live tailing straightforward because the player can read from the same stream the recorder is appending to. The alternative architecture is likely an ingest firehose which is then indexed,…
