The Take

Fast, native batch tooling with sensible features — apply crops across 100 images, 14 pro aspect ratios, real‑time previews and exports to modern targets like WebP and AVIF while keeping processing on‑device. It’s practical and privacy‑minded, but the category is crowded (Lightroom, ImageMagick, shortlists of GUI tools) and there’s nothing here that feels radically new beyond a tidy macOS UI and export format support.

A private, bulk audio converter using WASM (186x real-time speed)

Turns your browser into a local, multi-threaded audio farm: SIMD-optimized WebAssembly with SharedArrayBuffer and parallel Web Workers to batch-encode WAV/MP3/OGG at near-native speeds while keeping files on your machine. Thoughtful quirks like sequential downloads for massive files and folder selection show practical engineering, but it's still a single-purpose web UI (no CLI or automation hooks), so it’s a fantastic tool for non-ffmpeg users and a neat technical demo for developers.
