The original title is "PDFLabs: A browser-based PDF toolkit with no server uploads"
Original: I built a 100% private PDF toolkit that runs entirely in the browser (No server uploads)
Short summary
A solo developer launched PDFLabs, a free browser-based PDF toolkit with 13 tools that runs entirely client-side using pdf-lib and pdf.js, meaning files never leave the user's device. The tool offers merge, split, reorganize, delete, and rotate functionality. The author is seeking feedback on UI/UX, mobile responsiveness, and performance with large files.
