Hey HN! I've been building random tools whenever I needed them over the past few months, and now I have 177 of them. Started because I was tired of sketchy converter sites with 10 ads, so I just... made my own.
Some highlights for the dev crowd:
Developer tools:
- UUID Generator (v1/v4/v7, bulk generation): https://calcbin.com/tools/uuid-generator
- JWT Generator & Decoder: https://calcbin.com/tools/jwt-generator
- JSON Formatter/Validator: https://calcbin.com/tools/json-formatter
- Cron Expression Generator (with natural language): https://calcbin.com/tools/cron-expression-generator
- Base64 Encoder/Decoder: https://calcbin.com/tools/base64
- Regex Tester: https://calcbin.com/tools/regex-tester
- SVG Optimizer (SVGO-powered, client-side): https://calcbin.com/tools/svg-optimizer
Fun ones:
- Random Name Picker (spin wheel animation): https://calcbin.com/tools/random-name-picker
- QR Code Generator: https://calcbin.com/tools/qr-code-generator
Everything runs client-side (Next.js + React), no ads, no tracking, works offline. Built it for myself but figured others might find it useful.

Tech: Next.js 14 App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind, Turborepo monorepo.
All open to feedback!
