Thank you for making this a free tool. There are too many PDF tools that are unnecessarily paywalled, or have a paid tier that don't make any sense. We need more tools from paid ones that should …

A different perspective: It is amazing that now everyone that previously could not code now can build their own tools or projects they have ever wanted. This democratization is a net good for people w…

I think Codeberg, Forgjo, GitLab (Self Hosted) and Gitea are great OSS alternatives where it is funded by the community and should be great for long term support of your (and my) dev stack. > I…
