Hey HN! I made How to Convert. Here's the problem I had and the solution I thought of:
Problem
When you search "How to convert PNG to ICO" on Google, you get a bunch of shady looking "free" results that send your data to unknown servers. The same is true for almost any conversion you are trying to do.
So what do I want? I want something I can trust completely. AKA locally running, doesn't send my files or data anywhere and built by an independent developer building in public.
Solution
How to Convert
Privacy-first: Files stay on your device and it works offline.
Wide compatibility: Works with nearly any file type in an all-in-one app. If your file type is not yet supported, submit an issue to get it added!
Unlimited use: One purchase, infinite access.
Runs anywhere: Runs on Mac, Windows, Linux or the Web.
first thing I try gives me an error
"File conversion failed: undefined"
try again with different format as the target
"File conversion failed: undefined"
Trying again, but this time with a JPEG to PNG.
"File conversion failed: undefined"
TIFF? error. BMP? error. WEBP? error. ICO? error. m4a to mp3? error.
I don't have a weird setup or browser or anything like that, just regular chrome.
