Hello devs! 👋
I'm an embedded systems student currently diving into DevOps. While learning Terraform, I kept needing to convert HCL to JSON or debug cron expressions.
I found plenty of tools online, but they all had the same problem: they required sending my config files to a server.
I didn't feel comfortable pasting potential secrets into a random website, so I built my own client-side toolkit.
🛠️ The Tool: TechConverter.me
It is a simple collection of utilities that run 100% in your browser:
- HCL ↔ JSON ↔ YAML: Great for Terraform/Ansible users.
- Cron Debugger: Visualizes exactly when your cron job will run.
- JWT Decoder: Decodes tokens without verifying/sending them remotely.
- Netmask/CIDR Calc: For quick subnetting checks.
🔒 How it works
The site is static. I used JavaScript libraries (like hcl-to-json) to handle everything locally. You can turn off your WiFi and it will still work.
👨💻 Contributing
I'm still adding features. If you have a file format you hate converting manually, let me know in the comments and I'll try to add a parser for it!
