ObayLabs Keeps Five Useful Tools in the Browser

obaylabs.com Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A small suite of client-side utilities for PDFs, images, JSON, writing metrics, and text or code diffs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The collection divides common file and text chores into separate browser applications rather than one broad dashboard. Its technical notes identify JavaScript and WebAssembly for PDF processing, Canvas and WebAssembly for images, and a PWA-based offline path for PDFMatic. The listed formats and outputs are unusually concrete: ImagePilot includes AVIF and HEIC, Parsefy exports flattened JSON as CSV or ZIP, and WordCountly can produce TXT, PDF, or DOCX results.
