Builder and privacy advocate. I'm focused on local-first developer utilities and offline-native architecture. Currently working on Mint Logic—building tools that perform heavy lifting (like OCR) in local RAM so your data never has to 'phone home.

Thank you, that's nice to hear! Your video button feedback is noted, I'll give that some thought! I've already added the README and LICENSE files to my repos, I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into my repos, I'm still incredibly new to the open-source and GitHub workflow, so I completely missed adding those files. There are video demos inside the details modal of each app product card on my website, if you'd like to take a look.

This resonates. I actually ended up building a tool last year (CapSize) because I needed to churn out screenshots at a specific frame size for my day job and couldn't find anything that would just "lock" to 800x600 without a fight.

I'm not a dev by trade, so I did use AI as a power-tool to wrestle with the C++ and Electron parts. It turned into a bit of a rabbit hole—I ended up obsessed with keeping it entirely local/offline (no cloud APIs or telemetry) just to see if I could do things like local OCR in RAM. I ended up building two more tools to help me with making the one tool so it kind of spiraled into a small suite, but the main goal was just a no-frills utility that didn't require a login or a subscription just to crop an image.
