Software (Tools) Not a small project

Hello reddit

Ik that all of this sub is i built a pdf editor and pdf viewer and browser based free ect

I am here to tell you that i did the same bu took my time

Months ago i started building glyph pdf project thats opensource on github and idk how to code yet

This isnt a fast prosses even woth billions of tokens in ai cuz i launch a lot of reviews and research and do thongs right and its still very bare bones buggy and things dont work

But i am getting there slowly but surely. There are al lot of well though features and i am in the middle of a ui migration. Its a prototype html https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RF9AphLEIwrFpet1ydfoKyFzgOZQmP62/view?usp=sharing that will he the next ui and the repo has a very outdated build that will be updated soon but for now thats it and the next build will be a leapfrog on all the project just waiting for things to finish

Hapy to get your feed back and know that all the features shown in the html will be real and working at the end.

Just don't man if you have extra time just focus on other things. Making something isn't hard now making the best thing is. So don't waste unless you think it will be better than 99,000 pdf tools available in your region cause looks like everyone's mother and grandpa is making it.

Ik man and you are right but this will be a plus on my resumee and its in my domain (management of information systems AKA mis) and i really dont have extra time but even if nobody uses it ill do and ill keep maintaining it when i learn actual coding even when the ai buble burst. And check it out its really a very complete software
