Hello Product Hunt! 👋 I am Issa, the maker behind IV — Image Viewer v2.1. Modern design suites have grown strangely heavy, forcing creators to accept 40-second cold startups and massive ram leaks just to preview a file. I wanted to build the exact opposite: a zero-bloat, lightning-fast native binary. But this software wasn't built in a comfortable, high-tech hub. It was engineered under absolute infrastructure constraints—coded entirely from a makeshift plastic "Shader" shelter, walking 2 kilometers daily to access unstable power outlets and weak internet. When your development capacity is bound to a battery indicator, software efficiency becomes a survival mechanism. Every process had to be optimized to save CPU cycles and watts. IV v2.1 targets the embedded preview data matrix directly, achieving instant rendering (<2s) with virtualized memory recycling that keeps RAM usage completely flatline, even when scrolling through thousands of vector assets. It is 100% local, tracking-free, and Free for the world. I’d love to hear your feedback, architectural questions, and feature requests! Thank you for the support. 🚀
