I was tired of wasting time looking for online tools all the time to pretty print a JSON to inspect it, encode/decode strings, convert from one markup language to another, checking hashes, etc. For some tasks I was usually using the interactive console of some dynamic language such as python or node but it wasn't easy enough.

So I've made a static web page that you can use online or download to your computer with all those tools and much more. Personally I have that as home page in my browser :)

Maybe package this into a chrome app for offline use? Awesome little took-kit you've got here.

Good idea. I've never done a chrome app before so I could learn things in the process.

Nevertheless you can clone the repo and open the HTML files in your browser. It's only static html and javascript.

Thanks!

Replying for updates. Though I would honestly much prefer a Firefox app, since I never use Chrome.
