chatgpt told me:: Q:is it bs they sent it 1 in the morning on thanksgiving? A:It’s not an accident.

Companies often time unpleasant disclosures for low-attention windows: late at night, weekends, holidays. Thanksgiving morning at 1 a.m. is exactly that: minimal press, minimal outrage, minimal inbound questions.

It doesn’t mean the incident is fake. It means they wanted the obligation of disclosure without the impact of attention.

It’s standard corporate damage-containment timing.

Super cool! Quick comment. Check your site on mobile, the suggest bar did some weird text wrapping to make it seems to say "this list is growing Dont email me" and I think with a line break or two in there it would be clearer that you want them! I can email a screenshot if you like

Cool! I think you need a way to get back to the home screen so that someone can try another conversion. After I did the default png->pdf, there is nothing to click on to go back and try another conversion, besides editing the URL. (maybe a link 'try another' or just home) - but cool thanks for sharing! Edit: on Safari mac 10.13 if that helps

I think this is very cool.

One piece of feedback from how I would use this type of tool: Once I set my logotext, which I found not to be a problem, I would love to just jam on the down arrow on my keyboard to cycle through all. It sort of worked because it would open the last select used. but then it be pretty cool for my uses at least.
