Introducing useful-tools.fyi: A Collection of Everyday Web Tools

I wanted to share a new site I've been working on: useful-tools.fyi.

As a Systems Engineer, I'm always Googling for basic utilities like a subnet calculator, a JavaScript minifier, or a quick timestamp converter. But I usually end up clicking on random search results that are slow to load and covered in ads. I finally got tired of it and decided to build my own clean, accessible collection of web tools.

Right now, the site has a good mix of utilities for Developer & IT, Design, Math, and Everyday tasks. Here is a quick look at what is on there:

  • Subnet Calculator: Figure out network addresses, broadcasts, and usable hosts from CIDR.
  • Base & Timestamp Converters: Swap numbers between hex, decimal, and binary, or translate Unix timestamps into local time.
  • Color Converter & Picker: Easily grab HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK values without the hassle.
  • Everyday Tools: Handy things like a Pomodoro timer, a date difference calculator, and a secure password generator.

Everything runs locally right in your browser so it loads instantly. My plan is to just keep adding new utilities to the site as I end up needing them for my own work.

Check it out, bookmark it if you find it useful, and let me know if there is a specific tool you want me to add! useful-tools.fyi
