Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I got tired of sketchy online conversion websites riddled with annoying ads, paywalls, or sites forcing me to upload sensitive personal files to their servers just to compress a video or convert a PDF.

So, I decided to build my own alternative: FreeConvertKit (FreeConvertKit.com).

What makes it different?

• 100% Browser-Based (Client-Side): Your files never actually leave your device. All processing happens right inside your browser using modern web technologies, which makes it super fast and private.
• Completely Free: No hidden fees, no subscriptions, and no forced account creation.
• All-in-One Toolkit: Whether you need a quick mp4 convert, want to compress video without losing visual quality, convert png to webp, or manage pdf files securely—it’s all in one place.

I’d love for you guys to test it out, break it, and let me know what you think or what tools I should add next. Feedback from this community means the world to me!

Hi everyone!

First, thank you for the continued support for the previous releases. AutoRewarder already has +6.3k downloads and +268 stars on GitHub.

I'm combining the release notes to share a massive update covering both v4.1 and v4.2 because I missed posting the v4.1 announcement. These updates focus on Visual Search, bypassing detection, and making the bot's behavior more human-like.

What's new in v4.1 & v4.2:

• Visual Search Integration: Added Visual Search to daily tasks and phase-based workflows with its own human-like interactions (mouse movements, randomized delays, and page scrolling after uploads). To bypass hash-based detection, it dynamically crops and compresses base images, generating over 1.6 million unique file variations.
• LLM Query Generation: Added an optional feature to generate fresh, localized Bing search queries using LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) with a fallback to the static database (thanks to @JeromeM for implementing this)
• Humanized Queries: The bot now simulates human typing mistakes by introducing realistic keyboard-based typos to improve query diversity from the dataset.
• Core Fixes: Fixed a critical WebDriver crash in portable builds, resolving UI layout overflows, ensuring the 30-minute browse reward tracks properly in headless mode, and improving search tab cleanup (thanks @Friendly-Aid)

The project remains 100% open source.

Demo is sped up for viewing purposes. Actual execution includes randomized delays and pauses to mimic human behavior.

I'd love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or ideas for the next updates!

For a long time, I used the Bonjourr start page extension. I loved its minimal aesthetic, but over time I found myself wanting features that weren't available:

• Native Wallhaven integration to automatically stream top-rated wallpapers and specific tags.
• A built-in productivity timer with quick presets and customizable chime alarms.
• Deeper wallpaper controls, such as vertical (Y-axis) framing alignment, offline local gallery storage, and full ZIP backups.

That’s why I created my own extension: Nova-Perdanga.

🗻 Key Features

• Wallhaven & Local Storage: Stream wallpapers directly from Wallhaven by tags/collections, or store your own high-res images offline in browser-native IndexedDB.

• Productivity Timer: A draggable, collapsible floating timer with quick presets.

• Dynamic Color Tinting: Automatically extracts the dominant color from the current wallpaper to subtly tint the search bar and UI elements.

• Search & Autocomplete: Real-time search suggestions with direct shortcuts (!y, !wiki, !r, !gh, !gl).

• Weather & Typography: Accurate weather via Open-Meteo with deep links to interactive maps (Ventusky, Weather.com, etc.).

• ZIP Backup & Restore: Back up your entire gallery and settings into a compressed .zip archive.

• Private: Zero tracking, zero telemetry, zero analytics. Everything stays strictly in your browser.

Installation & Source Code

The project is completely free and open-source on GitLab:

Hey, I wanted to share that the initial beta release of Zaku 26.0 is now out!

It is available on Linux, macOS and Windows.

I've been working on this rewrite in Rust™ for the last 7 months full-time, tbh things got carried away and it has a lot more functionality that the original app didn't have (command palette, auto-updater, git integration, etc.) so it's not just a plain rewrite.

Little bit about the app, it stores collections as folders and requests as TOML files. Everything is stored locally on user's filesystem, it doesn't have any login functionality (and never will).

There is a barebones Git integration for now to show branch, status indicators and stuff.

This app is very early, if you try it out please let me know if there's something missing, not working or things you'd like to see added.

I was trying to register in that site, got everything right, I even answered the verification question ‘cat’, but it kept saying ‘you did not answer the verification question correctly’. I thought I got everything right. I made sure it was lowercased, no spaces. And it still showed that message. So I gave up.

Anyone whos in Melonland Forum and has an invite link, please send me one. I’d really appreciate it.

I have a plans for making a film about an evil A.I (how original, I know) and I want the A.I to be represented as a laptop. Imagine it has a black screen. The screen is on but it's just black. Then, when it speaks, it gradually flashes back and forth from black to white to representing it speaking. I don't want it to just switch from black to white. I want it to increase the brightness gradually.

I wanna make a few mood-based lists but i have over 1200 songs and i simply cant bring myself to manually go through all of them to look for the angsty ones. I have free Spotify, Apple Music, and a local library, and any generator i find online just grab other songs. Any ideas?

Hello! I'm kinda new to PC and I love Discords settings for microphone output, as I've got a fairly mid mic (picks up a lot of background sound without setting activated on discord), I was wondering if there's software that's kinda the same that I could use for games and stuff?

i'm one of the founders of Anarlog, an open-source (MIT) meeting notetaker. it captures mic + system audio directly on your device instead of sending a bot into the call. notes, transcripts, and recordings stay in a local SQLite database and local files by default.

transcription and summaries can run fully locally too: on-device models on supported Macs, pick which local Whisper model runs, or point Anarlog at Ollama, LM Studio, Unsloth, your own API key, or a subscription you already pay for (ChatGPT, Grok, GitHub Copilot, Kimi Code).

shipped v1.4.17 today: nested folders for organizing notes, more resilient on-device speaker diarization for separating who said what during batch transcription, and a set of recording reliability fixes.

I have 2 SSD's that I used to use for main hard drives- I like to remove the partitions and reformat just for storage- not sure what software to use, what suggestion would you have?

Of course with limited use i would prefer little or no cost.

Hi everyone I created Deja, a tool that instead of only surfacing commands that start with what you've typed, suggest what you actually want to run.
No account. No sync server. No TUI.

Heya first build ive ever done, been learning while making it. I got everything working i just need some help with the boot menu and making sure im doing it right.

Ive already looked at youtube, i couldnt find a video actually showing how to set it up fully just showing the different tabs and saying what it does for the most part. I understand parts of it but not all of it. I got jammy jellyfish OS from ubuntu to install but these error messages? Kept showing up before and after installing the OS and im not sure what its refering too fully.

Some i can gather like the workload queue being hogged by the CPU, which it says to change but idk how to change it.

If yall have a good guide please link it. Ive been working on this thing for months now and im so close to finishing it im getting antsy lol.

Appreciate the help.

here is the pcpart list of the build of that helps. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vv9pZc

Title says it - occasionally I need to set up a web/file server and have someone else download stuff from me. I've used Apache HTTP, Rebex and a couple others that escape me, but none really fit the bill or are reliable. Rebex was working fine but seems to have issues with file transfers occasionally.

Just something simple that I can open a port, put some files in a folder, and give my IP/port to the other person. Not looking for a full-on host, just something to switch on briefly when needed.

I'm aware of the sites that will make a direct connection between you and the other person, but they are incredibly slow and I'd rather just completely self-host.
