If you have time, please try again, it's still not 100% but I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

No, that goes against my religion and ethics.

thank you!

I was hesitant to open the link, thought it was a rick-roll. I've been working on the other downloaders, and I guess YouTube is one of the most used platforms, a lot of people are asking me to fix the youtube-downloader, I think I'll start working on that, thanks for bringing it up.

Where can one learn how to do this and all the mechanics of how its done? One of my greatest fears is not having good YT streaming and downloading solutions in the future :(

thank you so much, these are the words I needed to keep working on this tool.

Most of the time, I look for online tools to download media, but a Chrome extension could also be a good idea too.

not totally, I used yt_dlp for the Twitter downloader and the YouTube downloader

So I had this idea when I was applying for a job and they asked me to "sign this PDF."

I thought, "Why not create my own tool for this?"

I started simple: signatures, initials, checkboxes, the usual. I built it using Next.js and TypeScript on the front-end, and PDF.js to render the PDFs. The backend is also running on Node.js with TypeScript.

But then I had this "aha" moment. What if we add a blank layer as an improvised draft? And then overlay text on it? Suddenly, I found myself building a full-fledged PDF editor.

It's still a bit rough, with some hidden bugs. But I thought about sharing it with the community.

Maybe you have some cool ideas to improve it, or perhaps you've already explored this PDF labyrinth.

Tell me your thoughts, suggestions, or stories from your own programming adventures. I'm always eager to learn from the community. Thanks for listening!


yeah, this is a very popular problem; my aim was to create a simple user-friendly solution.


if you want to try the tool but you don't have a pdf file you can create a pdf file from a web page using this tool: https://www.pdfequips.com/web-to-pdf just paste a url like https://www.pdfequips.com and click convert.

you can also ask the AI to generate a markdown code then copy the code and paste it here: https://www.pdfequips.com/markdown-to-pdf
