Solo dev shipping browser tools — file utilities, converters, small SaaS. Building them in public, one launch at a time. 🛠

We're live on Product Hunt today. If you work with voice — or just want to compare pay-per-use with subscriptions — we'd love your feedback: https://t.co/odENIZrf04

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? 👇

[disankyo @disankyo]

@emmaguetta Thanks Emma, following back now 🤝 Retriever for B2B sales is a real painkiller space — curious how you're making the agents actually close, not just book meetings. Will dig in.

Launch night energy 🚀

A month of building in public: PDF tools, a voice toolkit, 83 languages, zero subscriptions.

If you're shipping something — SaaS, AI tools, content — say hi below. I follow back and check out every project 🤝

[disankyo @disankyo]

Quietly proud of this one: drop in a recording, get a transcript that labels who said what — across 83 languages. Billed by the second, no subscription, credits don't expire.

@TheXSami Thanks Sami! 👋 Following back now — Doodle's a neat idea; hand-copyable sketches stick better than a folder of screenshots. Will check it out 🚀

[disankyo @disankyo]

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 — a font problem. And it's why good converters re-extract text instead of screenshotting pages.

@BabaDev_ Probably none. Even small indie tools get people who dislike them.

[disankyo @disankyo]

@BabaDev_ Appreciate it 🤝 Localized indexing is the grind nobody sees — ja/ko/es crawl rates are all over the place. What are you building? Always down to swap notes with fellow indie devs.

Sunday connect post 🚀

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 — say hi below, I follow back 🤝

[disankyo @disankyo]

@jevlorde Great framing! The best agents reduce cognitive load, not add more of it.

[disankyo @disankyo]

@TripwireDX Honestly too early to call for us: ja/ko/es are all freshly submitted and GSC's still warming up. I'll post a breakdown once impressions separate out.

[disankyo @disankyo]

@jevlorde Thanks! Following back 👋 Shipping an Android indie is real work — what's the app? Always happy to swap notes with fellow toolmakers.

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 — then keeps paying for B out of habit.

Which one are you actually on? 👇

[disankyo @disankyo]

@ATown_Jonesy Awesome jump past 500 followers!

[disankyo @disankyo]

@ATown_Jonesy That’s such a simple but powerful test. I’ll run it this week.

[disankyo @disankyo]

Building in public — week 3, honest numbers:

• Tools shipped: 23
• Languages live: 5
• Paying users: 6
• X followers: 2

The gap between what you ship and what anyone notices is the whole indie game.

[disankyo @disankyo]

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 — no install, no account, pay for the one job.

[disankyo @disankyo]

@ATown_Jonesy Great tip. Tracking those non‑signup visitors is the hard part for me. I suspect my messaging isn’t landing well.
