数週間前、PDFWorkSpaceを開始しました。これは、PDFを使いやすくするための単純なツールです。そのほとんど全てがプライベートのドキュメントのサーバーを通じてアップロードしなければならないことが多いことへの対抗心でした。結論として言うなら、ファイルを開くには何が必要なのかを達成しました。数週間以内に以下のポイントを達成してきました :5,000以上のユーザーと安定した自然の貢献者(Twitter, Reddit, Dev.Io, Discordなど)から来た利用者が増えており、多くの異なる国からのユーザーが使っています。 V2では、PDFに関する最も強力な機能を導入し、単純なワークフローを極度に軽減します。しかしまだ詳細は公開できません。 PDFWorkSpaceの今後の目的:7,000人のユーザーサーティファイ後にその機能をリリースします。

Original Content

A few weeks ago I started building PDFWorkSpace — a simple tool to help people work with PDFs faster and in-browser so no need to upload your private document to someone else server. Today the project crossed 5k+ users, which honestly feels surreal for something that started as a small side project. pdfwork.space I kept running into the same annoying problem: most PDF tools online are either upload your private PDFs to servers, slow, bloated, or locked behind paywalls. So I decided to build something different: no-upload, no-server, no drama (privacy++) fast and simple focused on real use cases local, in-browser The goal was straightforward: make working with PDFs frictionless. Over the past few weeks the platform reached: 5,000+ users steady organic traffic ( reddit, dev.io, whatsapp, discord ) users from multiple countries consistent daily usage Most of the growth has been organic, which is the best validation you can get when building a product. We’re currently working on PDFWork V2, which will launch once we hit 7,000 users. V2 will introduce one of the most powerful features for working with PDFs, designed to make document workflows significantly easier. I can’t reveal everything yet, but the goal is to push PDF tools beyond the usual “merge/split/compress” utilities. A few things became very clear while building this: People still need simple tools that just work Speed matters more than feature overload Shipping fast is better than waiting for perfection Small tools solving real problems can reach users surprisingly quickly. If you work with PDFs often, give it a try: https://pdfwork.space Feedback is always welcome. And if you’re building something yourself — keep shipping.
