FlowUnzip: Extract ZIP & 7z as They Download: a Chrome extension that unzips files as they download

Wait 5 sec.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/flowunzip-extract-zip-7z/fenpkdkemapjccfgilcokdoocmgefmoo?hl=en&authuser=0 problem that annoyed me for years: download a huge ZIP, then wait again to extract it, and briefly need twice the disk space. FlowUnzip streams the archive and extracts each file the moment it arrives, straight into a folder you pick. Small How it’s built: Chrome MV3. ZIP and 7z parsing written to work on a stream, using range requests to resume. CRC checks on every file. Business model: free up to 1 GB. Pro is a one-time $1.99 through Stripe, with license keys checked offline, so there’s no database or account system. The site runs on Vercel’s free tier. https://flowunzip-liard.vercel.app Honest feedback on the idea and the pricing is very welcome.   submitted by   /u/Basic-Strain-6922 [link]   [comments]
