You might want to use a different elephant logo... the branding implies that it is an official part of the project.
E.g. Postico uses an elephant but not the _same_ elephant - https://eggerapps.at/postico/

There are annoying show-stopper bugs that the developer refuses to fix, like this one for not being able to set options for null/empty values when importing data from csv ( https://github.com/jakob/Postico/issues/406). Or issues importing CSVs exported by Postico itself, that seems like a pretty basic requirement.

I've been using Boop, it's pretty good for, json, yaml, datetimes, hashing etc! Missing a lot of what you've mentioned, but might be able to get some more ideas from it!

Another alternative to DevUtils would be Boop. Or CyberChef, for that matter (web, but available for local and selfhosted installation).

Though may I suggest checking out Boop? I love how minimal it looks. Maybe you can implement a minimal mode later?
