What this is
A workshop for small web tools. Each one does a single thing on a single page, with nothing to configure before it becomes useful. Open it, use it, close the tab.
Some of them are genuinely useful. Some are jokes with a working button attached. A few are hard to tell apart, which is usually the sign that one turned out better than expected.
Common questions
Is it free? Yes. Ads pay for the domain and hosting. Where a page recommends a product, any affiliate link is marked as one.
Does it work on a phone? Yes. Everything here is built to work at phone width first, because that is how most people will open it.
What happens to what I type? The tools calculate in the page, not on a server. What the site does collect is set out on the privacy page.
Can I suggest one? Yes, and the about page has the address.
