A week ago ToolDock had 20 tools. Today it has 60+.
Here's what I shipped, what broke, and what actually matters.
What I built
All tools run entirely in your browser. No sign-up, no server round-trips, no data leaves your device.
This week I added:
AI & LLM tools
- Token Counter — count tokens before sending to GPT/Claude
- LLM Cost Calculator — compare API costs across providers
- MCP Config Generator — generate Claude Code config files
- Cursor Rules Generator — .cursorrules for your stack
- System Prompt Builder — templates for any LLM
CSS & Styling
- CSS ↔ Tailwind converter
- SCSS/LESS compilers (browser-based, no Node needed)
- Tailwind CSS Cheatsheet with rem/px display
Developer utilities
- .gitignore Generator
- .env File Validator
- Image Converter (PNG/WebP/JPEG, multi-upload)
- Word Counter with Flesch reading score
- chmod Calculator
- JSONPath Tester
- OpenAPI Spec Validator
What I learned
1. Browser APIs are more powerful than most developers realize
SHA-256 hashing, image conversion, SCSS compilation — all running client-side with zero dependencies.
Web Crypto API, Canvas API, and WebAssembly make things possible that seemed server-only two years ago.
2. Default values matter more than features
Tools with pre-filled examples get used immediately.
Tools with empty inputs get closed immediately.
Every single tool now has real, meaningful default data.
3. Tool chaining changes how people work
Added a "Send to →" feature that pipes output from
one tool directly into another. YAML → JSON Formatter
→ JSON Validator in one click.
People stay on the site 3x longer when they chain tools.
4. Smart Paste is underrated
Paste anything — JWT, JSON, SQL, cURL command,
Base64 string — and the site auto-detects the format
and opens the right tool. Sounds simple, surprisingly
useful in practice.
What's next
Still broken: LESS → Tailwind mapping (partial output)
Still ugly: Crontab Generator UI
On the list: JSON Schema from TypeScript,
HTTP Headers Reference,
