What it does
A lot of PDFs that look “redacted” still leak information through hidden text layers, metadata, or invisible characters. This tool checks for that. React PDF Audit runs entirely client-side and scans a PDF to see whether anything is still extractable before you share it. It doesn’t redact files or upload them anywhere — it just tells you if something was missed. It’s meant as a quick sanity check for anyone dealing with sensitive PDFs who wants to know whether a redaction actually worked.
Permanently redact sensitive information from PDFs. 100% client-side, no uploads. Black out text, images, and metadata securely in your browser.

I built a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat PDF viewer2025 · github.com · ▲357I built EmbedPDF: an MIT-licensed, open-source PDF viewer that aims to match all of Adobe Acrobat’s paid features… for free.

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
