You basically get all of the things an adobe subscription would get you for free? Also, I'm on Linux so no Adobe anyway. It all runs in the browser so no need to install software.
Yeah, I see the tooling and it seems nice. I've always used the CLI tools and scripts I've built over the years to get this done, but having unified functions in one place is great.
I just don't understand the hosting part... Is there an advantage to having it hosted rather than in a local appimage or flatpak? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the premise....
Well the dev built it to run in a container image. You'd have to ask them why that was their choice instead of making an app that can be installed. The dev is on Lemmy, they've posted before. Shoot them a message.
Fair enough, thanks for taking the time.
How does Bento compare to local tools such as PDFSam?
