        I’m Alam, and I build
        <a href="/" class="text-indigo-300 hover:text-indigo-400">BentoPDF</a>,
        a free, open-source PDF toolkit with 100+ tools that run entirely in
        your browser.
      </p>
      <p class="text-gray-300 leading-relaxed mb-5">
        There’s no uploading your files to a server, no account to create, and
        no tracking. Your documents stay on your device. The

        is public, so you can see how it works yourself. BentoPDF is
        AGPL-licensed and self-hostable.
      </p>
      <p class="text-gray-300 leading-relaxed mb-5">
        I write every post on this blog myself. I’ll write about PDFs, how they
        work, things I learn while building BentoPDF, and occasionally things
        that go wrong.
      </p>
      <p class="text-gray-300 leading-relaxed mb-5">
        When I compare BentoPDF with another PDF tool, I’ll link to its
        documentation so you can check what I’m saying. If there’s something
        BentoPDF doesn’t do well, I’ll say that too.

        And if I get something wrong, please
