PDF Auditor
Inspect PDF internals & analyze security risks on macOS
What it does
macOS Preview is great for reading PDFs, but terrible for debugging them. If you are a developer, QA engineer, or security analyst, you know the pain: why is this PDF 50MB? Why is the font rendering wrong? Is there malicious JavaScript hidden inside? PDF Auditor is a privacy first app built to answer these questions. It doesn't just display the document; it exposes the internal structure. Features: 🕵️♂️ Forensic Analysis ⚠️ JavaScript Inspection 📎 See Attachments 🔠 Embedded Fonts etc.

Hi, I've just finished a rebuild of this function and added a lot of new features: info, page index, minimap, inverted index,... I think it may be useful for inspection, debugging or just as a learning resource showcasing the PDF file format. This is a pet project and I would be happy to receive some feedback! Regards

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
