FFmpeg WebCLI runs full FFmpeg in the browser via WASM — no server, no uploads
Hacker News Show HN·5d·tejaswigowda
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.

It's a practical building block for privacy-respecting tools or lightweight desktop-replacement utilities.
