   Unfortunately I do not have any personal experience with your problem since I purposely avoid Apple Photos (perhaps helpful though not related: I rely on Google+ Photos as my free [lossy] offsite backup). - Date/time? http:/&#x2F

   I would appreciate hearing more about what it would take to satisfy your privacy concerns. DNS providers do gain a 99.9%+ complete overview (and VPN providers get complete metadata) into the browsing habits of their users, and it is more th

   Maybe this is too obvious (I assume you've already rejected it as an option), but depending on how desperate/minimum-viable-product you are: Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. offer PDF preview functionality.

    Wkhtmltopdf is a dead-end, but very useful and relatively ligthweight if it still works for your use case. Thanks for packaging this up!

    There are multiple educational sites supported by this tool, but indeed they are focused on math just because that is the most common. Can you recommend any sites or apps teaching the subjects you warned might be left out?

    Teachers and technologies that make learning fun and appealing are definitely best. This tool is intended more to provide limits against going too far in the opposite direction. If you have any recommendations on how to purposefully develop

    One of the biggest data-lockin factors is network I/O costs. These have been kept artificially high by all cloud providers and act both to deter import/export and also to subsidize other functionality.

    Appreciate the feedback - a 'how it works' is a great idea, especially for the HN audience. Thanks also for the tip on the About link!

    To the best of my knowledge, the bulk of the restrictions are implemented by pointing devices to a custom DNS server (a VPN can accomplish much the same but I don't know if this product implements that). The majority of the app is the

    Safari should work well enough with a webserver file listing of MP4s. You could drag an icon to the desktop for an HTML page with thumbnails if it was necessary to get fancy.

    I agree! However, that takes real work & prioritization (time) rather than electricity/technology. Also (meme-ing a bit here): why not both? :) In reality, it's always a mistake to let the nonexistent perfect be the enemy of t

    It's worth at least the "on sale" $5 (compared to Helium's 125 open issues) if that encourages you to slog along with customer support and to fix the inevitable OS-level breaking changes.
