Profile

Hello HN,I’m the founder of PDFClear (https://www.pdfclear.com). It’s a suite of PDF tools (merge, split, compress, etc.) that runs entirely in the browser. I built this because I was tired of Googling "merge pdf" and landing on sites that require me to upload sensitive bank statements or contracts to an unknown server. I wanted a tool where the file never leaves the device.The Tech Stack:The app is built with React and Vite, but the heavy lifting is done via WebAssembly and Web Workers to keep the UI thread responsive.- PDF Manipulation: I’m using pdf-lib for standard operations (merge, split, rotate).- Compression & Encryption: For heavier tasks like compressing streams or handling encrypt

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
