Stop uploading sensitive documents to the cloud. SlimDoc compresses PDFs, Office docs, and images locally on your device using WebAssembly. 100% private, free, and secure.
I really appreciate the 100% private, free, and secure approach, but in the multi-device world we live in, it's difficult to use a service like yours. In any case, good luck with your project!
Hey @marcoparisidesign, thanks so much for your feedback — really much appreciated!
Would love to understand better why exactly would it be difficult for you to use the service — what's your workflow and what would you need in order to stupidly useful to you?
Thanks again 🙏
@joshadp If I save a document on my smartphone, how do I open it when I'm using my desktop?
@marcoparisidesign so you mean it would be useful to you to save the document on your phone and that automatically be at your disposal on your desktop? Or what do you need that is different than saving the document on a Dropbox, GDrive or iCloud folder on your phone that automatically becomes available on your desktop?
Or you mean that once you save the document on any of those services, the privacy value disappears?
thanks!
@joshadp The solutions I am referring to are definitely cloud-based but privacy-friendly, such as Proton. I don't know if you are familiar with it. Perhaps I have misunderstood how your service works, my apologies. If I need a file that I saved on my smartphone from my desktop, can I open it from there or do I have to send it to myself via Bluetooth? If I can't, then in my opinion there is a practical limitation, and not a minor one. Otherwise, then okay, but I would be curious to understand how file transfer from one device to another works. In conclusion: it's great that your service guarantees file privacy, but it is difficult to use in a multi-device world, as I said before.
