Hi everyone! 👋
I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called CryptoWave. It’s a collection of essential developer and utility tools (like AES encryption, audio converters, and image compressors) that run entirely in your browser.
Why I built this
We’ve all been there: you need to convert a quick file or encrypt a snippet of text, but the top Google results are often cluttered with ads and, more importantly, they require you to upload your data to their servers.
As someone who values privacy, I thought: “Why can’t we do all of this locally?” With modern browser power and WebAssembly, we should never have to send private files to a random server just for a simple conversion.
The "AI + Solo Dev" Workflow 🤖
I want to be transparent: I built this with significant assistance from AI (like Gemini). As an independent developer, AI acted as my senior architect and debugging partner. It helped me:
Implement complex crypto logic: Ensuring AES and RSA operations were handled correctly using CryptoJS.
Wrangle WebAssembly: Using AI to help bridge the gap in setting up FFmpeg.wasm for local audio and video processing.
UI/UX Refinement: Quickly iterating on a clean, dark-mode professional interface that stays lightweight.
This project is a testament to how AI can empower a single developer to build tools that previously required a whole team.
Key Features of CryptoWave
🔒 100% Client-Side: Your data never leaves your computer. Period.
🎥 Media Tools: Convert audio and compress images locally using your browser's RAM.
🔐 Developer Utilities: AES/RSA encryption, SHA/MD5 hashing, JWT decoding, and more.
🚀 Zero Tracking: No cookies, no logs, no nonsense.
Tech Stack
Frontend: Vanilla JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3 (No heavy frameworks for maximum speed).
Processing: FFmpeg.wasm, CryptoJS.
Deployment: Vercel.
Check it out
I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think:

I have a question for the community: How has AI changed your development workflow this year? Have you used it to tackle a specific technical hurdle like I did with WASM?
I’m looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for new tools to add!
