Hi devs 👋
One question I get often:
“Why don’t you add signup? You could track users, add features, grow faster.”
The honest answer is simple.
Signup solves problems for products.
But it creates problems for users.
For small tasks like:
compressing a PDF,
resizing an image,
generating a QR code…
An account adds zero value.
It only adds friction, doubt, and delay.
So I made a decision early while building AllInOneTools:
No signup. Not now. Not later.
Because these tools are meant for
Open → Do → Close.
Not
Open → Register → Verify email → Then use.
Sometimes the best feature is the one you refuse to add.

AllInOneTools

A product philosophy advocating against requiring user signup for simple utility tools. The argument centers on reducing friction for quick tasks like PDF compression or QR code generation, where account creation adds no value but creates barriers. The approach prioritizes immediate utility over user tracking and feature expansion.
