Changelog

13 tools added since launch, and the changes that were not tools. Dates come from the commit that added each file.

4 August 2026

  • added

    XML Formatter & Validator — beautifies or minifies XML at 2, 4 or tab indentation, and reports every well-formedness fault with its own line and column: a closing tag that does not match, a repeated attribute, a bare ampersand, a second root element. Comments, CDATA and namespaced names survive the rewrite, and a collapsible element census lists every tag name with a click-to-copy path.

  • added

    Live Character Limit Checker — counts characters in real time against 13 platform limits (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, SEO meta tags, SMS and more) with a ring gauge, over-limit warning, and a full comparison table across all platforms.

  • added

    Word Frequency Counter — ranks every word in pasted text by occurrence count and density, with stopword filtering, min-length control, sortable table and bar-chart views, and CSV export.

3 August 2026

  • added

    Pomodoro Timer — 25-minute focus sessions with configurable short and long breaks, session dot tracking, SVG ring progress, Web Audio API sound alerts, and auto-start support. Sits in the Productivity category.

2 August 2026

  • changed

    The homepage and category blurbs were rewritten and moved under the content audit. They had been the only prose on the site the audit could not see, and all eight category blocks had drifted into one template.

  • added

    This changelog, and an About page explaining who builds the site and why nothing is uploaded.

1 August 2026

  • added

    A content audit now runs before every build and fails it on templated copy: banned marketing phrases, repeated section headings, and paragraphs whose sentences are all the same length.

31 July 2026

30 July 2026

  • added

    Related-tool suggestions at the bottom of each tool page.

27 July 2026

  • added

    Drag-and-drop page reordering in Images to PDF Converter, so the output order is fixed before the file is written rather than after.

25 July 2026

  • changed

    Category pages moved to /category/[slug], and tools can now appear under more than one category. JWT Decoder sits in Code and shows up under Security too.

  • removed

    PDF Text Extractor was pulled. It handled clean digital PDFs and quietly produced nothing useful on scanned ones, which is worse than not shipping it.

24 July 2026

  • changed

    Tool URLs were flattened from /tools/[slug] to /[category]/[slug]. Old links still resolve.

11 July 2026 — initial release

60 tools went up together in the first two days. They were the scratch files that already existed, cleaned up and given a shared shell, so they are listed here as one release rather than 60 separate ones.
