MediaForge
I built—a tool that treats your footage like a pro.
MediaForge launched on April 14, 2026.
What it does
Most tools ruin your 4K quality just to save a few megabytes. So, I built MediaForge—a tool that treats your footage like a pro. Why is it different? ✅ The Quality Guardian: My algorithm refuses to compress if it will ruin the visual clarity. Quality is non-negotiable. ✅ Metadata Stripper: It wipes GPS, timestamps, and device tags instantly. (Check the screenshots to see the "Zeroed" metadata!) ✅ Heavy Compression: I’ve seen 300MB files shrink to less than 64MB with zero visible loss..
A local-first video sanitizer and smart compressor. Wipes metadata and shrinks files without losing quality. - venomx943-pixel/MediaForge
MediaForge: The Privacy-First Video Sanitizer & Smart Compressor Stop leaking your data. Save your storage. Keep your quality. Most video tools require you to upload your private files to their servers or compromise on visual clarity to save space. MediaForge is built differently. It’s a local-first desktop application designed for creators and privacy advocates who refuse to compromise. 🚀 Key Features 🛠️ Why I Built This I was tired of "Free" online compressors that harvested my metadata and returned "blocky" low-quality videos. I wanted a tool that behaved like a Quality Guardian—respecting the original footage while ensuring privacy for the uploader. 📥 Download & Support MediaForge is…from github.com

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…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
