A Small Utility I Needed in the Middle of a Workflow

I was cleaning up some reference data during a side project.

Most of the work was scripted, but part of the documentation I was checking used millimeters, while my output was already in centimeters. It wasn’t something worth adding logic for — just a quick sanity check before moving on.

I didn’t want to switch tools or write a helper script for something I’d only do once. I just needed the number so I could continue.

I opened a browser tab, did the conversion, verified the value, and closed it again. That was enough to unblock the next step.

I used a simple page like https://mmtocm.net
and moved on without touching my setup.

It wasn’t part of the workflow — just a momentary pause to keep things consistent.
