A fast, privacy-first image converter that runs in browser
Hey HN I built ImageConverter.dev because I got tired of “free” image converter sites that force uploads, or throttle conversions. So I made a tool that runs 100% client-side — meaning your images never leave your device. It’s built for speed, simplicity, and privacy. What it does Convert images between JPG, PNG, WebP Works offline once loaded (PWA support) How it works It uses the Canvas API and WebAssembly to handle conversions directly in the browser. 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,…

In plain words
ImageConverter.dev is a browser-based image conversion tool that converts between JPG, PNG, and WebP formats entirely on the user's device. Built with Canvas API and WebAssembly, it requires no image uploads, server interaction, or tracking. The tool works offline after initial load thanks to progressive web app support and runs efficiently on mid-range devices. It targets users who need quick, private image conversions without relying on traditional web-based converter sites that throttle speeds or collect data.

Hello HN, I've used a lot of image converter websites to run for my daily jobs, but they required uploading my assets on their servers which I didn't like. I decided to build it myself and publish as a website for everyone to use at no cost (since the conversion happened on your browsers) I'd live to hear your thoughts about it. Cheers,

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
