Built a free PDF tool while working 12-hour shifts in Saudi Arabia

I work 12-hour shifts in Saudi Arabia. After work, instead of sleeping, I code.

I built PdfMinty because every PDF tool I found wanted my files on their server. I don't trust that with my documents. So I made one that runs 100% in the browser — no uploads, no sign-ups, no tracking.

22+ tools. Completely free. No watermarks.

It's not making money yet. But it's making me a better developer. And maybe one day, it helps me escape the rat race.

If you're building something on the side while working a day job — keep going. We're in this together.
