10 months ago I launched a file converter app from my laptop.

Today people in 77 countries are using it. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ and 65 moreโ€ฆ

I built this while finishing my PhD, coding in cafes at home in Australia and more recently across England, France, Austria, and Belgium.

No VC funding. No team. Just solving a problem people actually have.

I made howtoconvert.co

I was sick of sending my files to sketchy sites on Google.

And sick of looking up how to use command line tools every time I needed to convert a file.

So, I made a drag and drop app that does everything locally.
