How I Built a 100% Private, Browser-Side Toolbox with AI as My Co-Pilot

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 us
