BitSplit Media Delivery

What it does

BitSplit changes how WordPress delivers public media. The free version reconstructs images in the visitor's browser through short-lived sessions instead of leaving a complete file at a stable URL. Pro adds audio and video protection. It works with the Media Library, Gutenberg, featured images, srcset, and native audio/video blocks without an external service. It adds friction to direct downloads, hotlinking, and generic scraping. It is not DRM or encryption.

Replace ready-to-download media URLs with on-demand browser reconstruction to deter hotlinking and generic scraping.

BitSplit changes how WordPress delivers public media. Instead of keeping a complete file at a stable public URL, it stores the original and generated sizes as incomplete blocks and reconstructs each file in the visitor’s browser through a short-lived session. It is a media-protection layer for photography portfolios, publishers, member sites, and other WordPress sites where making direct downloads and bulk collection harder is valuable. BitSplit is not encryption, DRM, or a promise that downloading is impossible . A determined viewer can inspect the browser flow, automate reconstruction, or capture rendered content. Use it when raising the cost of casual downloading is valuable; use…from wordpress.org

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi 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…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
