Post body
Posted about ToolHub here a bit ago (free tools that run entirely in the browser - image, PDF, dev tools, etc.) and got a comment that stuck with me: the "no upload" angle is real, but I should lean into it hard for anything work-related specifically - contracts, financial data, anything someone would actually worry about touching a random server, not just present it as a generic privacy bullet point.
That's a sharper, more specific pitch than what was actually on the site, so I went and changed it:
New homepage section calling this out directly, instead of it being one line among several trust badges
A real blog post on the actual mechanism - what "upload first, process second" tools are doing under the hood, and how to verify any tool's real behavior yourself (open dev tools, watch the Network tab, see if your file gets uploaded at all)
A targeted note directly on the PDF/Word/Excel conversion pages, since that's exactly where someone with a real contract or financial document would land
Nothing scientific here yet - no A/B test, no real traffic data, just shipped it within the last day or two. Wanted to post the follow-through rather than let the feedback just disappear into a comment thread. Will come back with actual numbers once there's something real to report.
