@vanilagy.bsky.social Hey! Wanted to show you my v0.1 of „quicksilver“: my solidjs 2.0 rc PWA for converting video locally in your browser 😄 bjesuiter.github.io/quicksilver/ My usecase was: I had an iPhone video, but it was too big for discord. So I devised this simple PWA.

Mediabunny worked flawless in it!!! I tried this ffmpeg-wasm first: tejaswigowda.com/ffmpeg-webCLI/ But: - it has to load a 31 Mb wasm - is slooooow to convert my 35 sek video (around 10 to 20 minutes on iPhone 13 Pro, if I recall correctly) - the download button does not work in safari

Esp. The download button failure was a dealbreaker: what use is a converter in the browser that can write my converted file into browser memory and not into my gallery?!? 😄😂 So I vibed a solution with a „share“ button with native ios share sheed alongside the download button. And it’s great! 😍

Mediabunny takes under 10 seconds to transcode the file, The download works and it’s completely local. Thank you for this library and feel free to use this a as „norm scientifc case study“ on your website, if you want 😂👍
