Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Nikhilesh, the maker of DriveForge. I built DriveForge to solve a massive personal frustration: downloading heavy 5GB ZIP archives from Google Drive just to extract a single 2MB file, and dealing with clunky, lagging video previews. I wanted a better way, so I built a 100% serverless toolkit that runs completely locally in your browser memory. Here is what DriveForge (v0.1.5) brings to your workflow: ⚡ X-Ray Extraction: It uses HTTP Range Requests to read ZIP headers directly from Drive. You can extract a single file over the wire without downloading the whole archive. 🎬 Native PiP Player: A custom, built-in media player for seamless video and audio streaming. 🔍 Omni-Search: Global Drive search to find your files in milliseconds. 🗂️ Hybrid Drag & Drop: You can drag local PC files into the browser and zip them together with your cloud files entirely in-memory. Because it uses Web Workers and has zero backend storage servers, it's lightning-fast and your data never leaves your device. I would love for you all to try it out (it's completely free to use). Please let me know what you think, drop any feature requests, or ask me any questions about how the architecture works under the hood! 🚀
