tejaswigowda has wrapped FFmpeg in a browser-based CLI using WebAssembly, letting users run media conversion and processing entirely client-side as an installable PWA. For indie developers and makers handling video/audio workflows, this removes the need to spin up server infrastructure or pay for upload-based processing APIs. It's a practical building block for privacy-respecting tools or lightweight desktop-replacement utilities.
