Become a sponsor to Dylan Freedman
Hey, I'm Dylan! I'm a software engineer working on elections at The Washington Post. On the side (and occasionally for my job) I create general-purpose, open source tools and software to help journalists, students, researchers, and others.
Some notable projects I've been working on recently include:
- Semantra, a Python- and Svelte-based semantic search engine that runs locally on text and PDF files
- Textra, a Mac command-line app to extract text from images, PDF, and audio
The work I do on the side is fulfilling and meaningful to me, and I hope it can be serviceable to as many people as possible. If you find my work useful, please consider sponsoring my work. Thank you!
