Hi HN! I built PDFly — a PDF toolkit that runs entirely client-side. No file uploads, no server processing, no account needed. It has 56 tools including merge, split, compress, convert, redact, compare, and an AI chat feature to ask questions about your PDF content.

Everything runs in your browser using [mention your tech stack if relevant, e.g., WASM/JS libraries]. Would love feedback on the tools, UX, or anything else!

That's really cool, and it's a great use case for WebAssembly.

I'd suggest making the site multilingual, especially in German. Germany has some of the strictest data protection regulations, and your tool is very useful there,

Where is the source code? Is this open source?
