Hey everyone! đ As a CS student, I constantly need to merge PDFs, compress images, or extract text from modules. But I always hated uploading my personal documents to ad-filled, sketchy websites where you don't know what happens to your data. So, I decided to build my own solution: OmniKit OmniKit is a completely free, privacy-first web toolkit with over 30+ utilities. The biggest catch? Everything runs 100% locally in your browser. > đ ď¸ The Tech Stack I wanted to keep it lightweight and blazing fast: Frontend: Vanilla JavaScript & HTML5 Styling: Tailwind CSS (with seamless Dark Mode) PDF Processing: pdf-lib for client-side manipulation AI / Image Tools: WebAssembly and local browser APIs for background removal and OCR. Hosting: Vercel Because there is absolutely no backend processing, there are zero server uploads. Your files never leave your device. đ Looking for Beta Testers! I'm doing a soft launch today and I would love to get some feedback from fellow developers before
