I built a free site with 8 developer & writer tools — no signup, no tracking, just tools
So I got tired of googling "json formatter" or "password generator" every other day and ending up on some bloated site full of popups asking me to create an account just to format a JSON blob. You know the ones.
Decided to just build my own. It's called QuickTools Online and it has the stuff I actually use daily:
- Word counter (with reading time)
- JSON formatter/validator
- Password generator
- Base64 encode/decode
- Hash generator (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512)
- UUID generator
- Lorem ipsum generator
- Color converter (added a color wheel to this one which was fun to build)
Nothing fancy, no frameworks — just vanilla HTML/CSS/JS on Vercel. Everything runs client-side so nothing gets stored anywhere. No accounts, no tracking, just open it and use it.
The whole thing is open source too if anyone wants to poke around or contribute: https://github.com/leopechnicki/quicktools-online

Curious if theres other tools you guys reach for constantly that I should add. Thinking about maybe a regex tester or a diff checker next but open to ideas.
