A boring solution for a boring problem - Working with PDFs.

I've been making a browser-based PDF editor that runs on-device via Webassembly / PDFium. Many of the hard parts were done by the open source embedpdf project, and I've been adding my own custom tools on top of it.

It does the usual annotation stuff — highlights, comments, stamps, etc. working on some more advanced stuff now - regex search/redact, measurements and takeoff tools for AEC industry.
