⚖️ Why the Shift to Local Matters
For years, cloud hosting was necessary because browsers were slow and couldn't handle complex computational tasks. But today, modern browser APIs like WebAssembly (WASM), WebGPU, and Web Audio allow us to compile native-speed desktop logic (like FFmpeg, OCR scanners, and AI runtimes) and execute it right in your tab.
By shifting processing from expensive remote servers back to the user's local device:
- Developers can build completely free tools without server hosting costs.
- Users gain absolute data ownership and leak-proof security compliance.
- Speed is maximized by removing latency and upload pipes.
