I built 37 developer tools on Cloudflare Workers after watching JSONFormatter leak five years of credentials. Here's the architecture: V8 isolates, zero-knowledge encryption, and sub-50ms response times on five npm dependencies.
I built 37 developer tools after watching JSONFormatter leak 80,000 files worth of credentials. Here are the six I actually reach for every single day — and why privacy-first matters more than features.
I spent a Saturday night wrestling with USAspending.gov's API and came out the other side with DecodeGov — 11 adapters, 6 federal agencies, and zero incremental hosting cost.
I built a system that plays my games thousands of times. The data broke every assumption I had — UX problems outnumbered bugs 2:1, and I'd been designing for the wrong player all along.
I was decoding a JWT at 11 PM and hit three ad-infested tool sites in a row. So I built Swiss Army Dev — 37 developer tools, zero tracking, sub-50ms globally on Cloudflare Workers.
Terminals are a firehose. IDEs already have a notification system. Notification Bridge bolts the two together so my coding agent can tap me on the shoulder.
Your IDE already knows your SDK, dependencies, terminals, and project structure. All that data is locked inside the process. I built two JetBrains plugins to fix that — and I think it's a pattern every local tool should follow.
