  • devtoolbox

    Discontinued Collection of offline utilities for developers [Moved to: https://github.com/PolyglotNetwork/devtoolbox] (by nileshtrivedi)

  • I recently started building an offline, desktop app in Flutter as a collection of dev utilities: https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox

    Flutter was a promising choice as it'd give me Windows, Mac OS and Linux report from a single codebase - and even the possibility of running this as a self-hosted webapp. But one of the ideas I had was to bundle CyberChef with my app and open in a webview. Turns out, Flutter doesn't support webviews on desktop platforms at all. https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox/issues/4

  • sttr

    cross-platform, cli app to perform various operations on string

  • It's having both TUI as well as CLI modes.

    https://github.com/abhimanyu003/sttr

    Since it's written in GO, you can run it pretty much anywhere you like :) ( cross platform )

    Yes, it support file inputs as well.

  • json_stringify

    A SublimeText 3 plugin to string encode and decode JSON

  • Something I run into a lot is a JSON-like blob of text I'd like to be formatted as JSON (new lines and indentation). Most JSON formatters choke on improper JSON (understandably). It would be great to have a tool that was more lax. Like browser support for terrible HTML lax haha. If I could paste JSON-like strings into a text area and have it fix and format it as best as can be, that would be great. Some examples of non-JSON syntax to handle would be like single quotes instead of double, arbitrary JSON nodes (not necessarily wrapped in `{}`), some pre or post text (some non-JSON text at the beginning or end), comments amongst the JSON, etc. Another JSON aspect that would be useful is something to escape/unescape JSON (specifically double quotes). I deal a lot with JSON that includes escaped JSON in values and it would be great to have some better way to visualize and process those blobs. Sublime Text has a nice plugin to handle some of the escaping/unescaping[1].
