Solo dev here ๐Ÿš€ Looking to #connect with: - Voice & audio creators - Indie hackers - AI tool builders - Localization folks I reply to everyone. What are you building this week? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Genuine question: what time of day do you actually do your best work? I keep telling myself I'm a morning person. Every single deadline says otherwise. When does it click for you? ๐Ÿ‘‡

The strange part of working solo: there's no one to complain to about the tiny decisions. Spent way too long picking a font this morning. For something nobody will read. What's the most time you've lost to something pointless while building? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Why your PDF is 40MB: Nine times out of ten it's embedded fonts and full-resolution images that were never going to be printed at that size. Compress before you send. The text stays sharp; the attachment stops bouncing back.

Question for anyone building something small: What did you finish this week that nobody will ever notice, but you're quietly proud of? Mine: I finally deleted a TODO list instead of rewriting it again. What's yours? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Quietly proud of this one: drop in a recording, get a transcript that labels who said what โ€” across 83 languages. Billed by the second, no subscription, credits don't expire. ๐Ÿ‘‰ resonaio.com

Launch night energy ๐Ÿš€ A month of building in public: PDF tools, a voice toolkit, 83 languages, zero subscriptions. If you're shipping something โ€” SaaS, AI tools, content โ€” say hi below. I follow back and check out every project ๐Ÿค

Why PDF text sometimes copies out as garbage: The font may not embed its character map. Glyphs render fine but carry no "this is the letter A" information. Not corruption โ€” a font problem. And it's why good converters re-extract text instead of screenshotting pages.

Sunday connect post ๐Ÿš€ Building browser-based file tools in public. This month's project: getting the localized pages (ja / ko / es) indexed properly. If you're into indie SaaS, SEO, or shipping small tools โ€” say hi below, I follow back ๐Ÿค

Honest question for anyone who touches PDFs at work: A) Pay per file, no account, done in 30 seconds B) Monthly subscription for the same job I build A. Everyone picks A in theory โ€” then keeps paying for B out of habit. Which one are you actually on? ๐Ÿ‘‡

The 11pm email: "can you send this as one PDF?" You have 6 files, no software installed, and a hotel laptop. Browser tools exist for exactly this moment โ€” no install, no account, pay for the one job.

200,000+ ready-to-use voices in the public library. Browse, preview, pick โ€” hear it before you spend a single credit.

Scanned contract โ†’ searchable PDF. Before: 40 pages of pictures. Ctrl+F finds nothing. After: every word selectable, searchable, copyable. OCR is the most underrated PDF feature.

Building in public โ€” week 3, honest numbers: โ€ข Tools shipped: 23 โ€ข Languages live: 5 โ€ข Paying users: 6 โ€ข X followers: 2 The gap between what you ship and what anyone notices is the whole indie game.

How to vet an online PDF tool before you upload anything: 1. Does it delete files after processing โ€” and say so plainly? 2. Does it watermark output unless you pay? 3. Does it cap you per day? 4. Does it demand an email first? Most fail at least two. Screenshot the answers.
