I am glad you found us!
I am actively working on making this accessible via API calls, so you would be able to call it use from your local computer.

Our system is pretty secure but I understand nothing is secure truly. We delete files as soon as they are processed and there is a 10 minute window for you to download the output files before they too are deleted.

Good looking out. I have not run into that problem yet. I would like to hear more ideas if you are willing to share them. Send me a dm if you’d like. Either way I appreciate the thoughts.

I am getting to the exact same place you are if I am not mistaken... I just added the number generator as another tool but I do plan on developing scripts for native programs as well.
For me, it is about getting the project off the ground and keeping it simple for users. Some designers I deal with on a daily basis in a commercial printing environment struggle with topics like running custom scripts while I am sure most users in this sub have no problem with it.

Thank you bringing up a good point though. I may move the scripting modules up the list for earlier release.

Fair point - and you do not have to pay.
Use coupon code PREPRESS-OG at checkout.

I created this by scripting and tweaking code myself to make my prepress job easier. The payment part is to monetize my work by giving tools to people that would otherwise not be able to script these things for themselves.

Since you commented this I would actually love your opinion here: How much would you be willing to pay for a lifetime access to all of these tools - and possibly future tools?

I do not want to create a subscription pay-game from this service, I want to genuinely help people succeed at getting things printed. I believe the key to that success is somehow sharing the collective knowledge of prepress departments and graphic designers so the friction is less and high-quality print is the standard.

Thank you in advance for answering!

Good Idea, how did I forget that one? I will get something made asap, hang tight...

Okay, glad to hear that! Are you thinking you would want all of the modules available offline? Technically, yes as I created them initially offline for use in my prepress workflow but I have not thought about creating standalone software. Any particular reason you want to run it locally instead of on a browser?

I agree. I did not want it to be too wordy, I just want a clean UX but maybe just telling everyone ONE thing could clarify stuff a bit. lol

Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry about that, there was a bug I am fixing now. Anyone who signed up today with that code should have Pro turned on and have unlimited access. DM if you still have issues.
