Tools

Measurement, construction, and practical everyday tools.

Back to Home

Tools covers consumer-facing utilities that aren't specifically for developers — QR code generation, color contrast checking for accessibility, a random team/group generator, UUID generation, Lorem Ipsum text. That's the distinction from Dev Tools: Dev is aimed at developers working with code, networking, and data formats; Tools is aimed at anyone — a teacher splitting a class into groups, a designer checking whether text passes an accessibility contrast ratio, a small business generating a QR code for a menu.

Like Dev Tools, most tools here run entirely in your browser rather than on a server — a QR code is generated locally, a UUID is created client-side — so nothing you type or upload is stored or transmitted anywhere. The binary converter is the most-linked tool in the category, doing double duty for students learning binary and developers who just need a quick lookup rather than opening a terminal.

A couple of tools here — Lorem Ipsum and the UUID/ULID generator — are aimed specifically at developers and designers setting up a project, even though neither requires any actual coding knowledge to use. That's part of why they live in Tools rather than Dev Tools: the audience for "I need placeholder text" or "I need a unique ID" is broader than people comfortable opening a terminal.
