@ananiket1820 Wiping metadata is so therapeutic. Feels like taking the digital trash out.

Yesterday I dropped 47 random photos into MediaForge just to test it.

In 12 seconds, every GPS tag, device model, and timestamp disappeared — all inside the browser. Nothing ever left my laptop.

It’s a small thing, but watching all that metadata disappear was oddly satisfying.

Anyone else weirdly appreciate tools that just… don’t send your stuff anywhere?

Update 📢

We have our first paying user.

Yep. Someone actually paid ₹299 for MediaForge.

We launched https://t.co/rOu5nhneIZ publicly on July 17.

And on August 8, that first payment came in.

It’s funny how a ₹299 payment can make months of building, breaking things, fixing them, questioning our decisions, and wondering if anyone would actually use this suddenly feel worth it.

We know ₹299 isn't a huge number.

But for us, it means someone out there saw what we built and said:

“Yeah, I'll pay for this.”

And honestly, that feels pretty damn good.

First customer. First ₹299.

Let's see where this goes. ⚡

(P.S. About the attached analytics image, our dashboard settles in USD, so the ₹299 Forge Plan shows up as $3.02 after gateway conversions!)

The weird thing about building something of your own:

You start by worrying about whether the product works.

Then you worry about whether anyone notices.

Then whether anyone cares.

Then someone actually pays.

And suddenly, you’re back to worrying about whether you can do it all over again.

Apparently, that’s the job.
