The default used to be clear. Enterprise went Microsoft. Startups and growth teams went Google.
That line seems less obvious now. I keep seeing fast-growing companies on Microsoft because an enterprise customer required it, and I keep seeing traditional enterprise holdouts experimenting with Google because of AI integration decisions.
I m Vishal, a solopreneur and developer, Product passionate about data privacy and building useful utilities. I ve been quietly hanging around the community for a bit, learning from all the incredible launches, and figured it was finally time to properly step up and say hello!
What I'm building: Like many of you, I frequently use web-based tools to edit, merge, or redact PDFs containing sensitive information (like contracts, IDs, and financial documents). Every single time I uploaded a file to a popular cloud utility, I felt an uncomfortable spike of anxiety: Where is this data actually going? Who owns that server?
To solve my own problem, I built PrivacyScanPDF.com.
I m Vishal Anand, the founder of PrivacyScanPDF. We officially launched on the platform today, and I wanted to share a quick insight into why we built this.
Every popular online PDF utility forces you into a dangerous compliance compromise: uploading your highly sensitive financial, legal, or personal documents to external cloud servers just to perform standard file conversions or compression.
We engineered PrivacyScanPDF to change this entirely. By utilizing local WebAssembly (WASM), we brought the entire computation engine directly into your local browser tab.
