Why I Built My Own Suite of 8 Clean Web Utilities (Zero Ads, No Bloat)

Hi everyone! 👋

I am relatively new to development and exploring how to build modern web applications. While browsing the web for basic everyday utilities, I noticed a huge problem: almost every basic site (like word counters, JSON formatters, or case converters) is completely bloated with massive ads, slow tracking cookies, and forced sign-ups.

To practice my skills, I built a collection of 8 essential, responsive utilities in one single, clean package. It is 100% free, privacy-friendly, runs locally in your browser, and has zero ads.

The tools included are:

  • 📝 Word Counter (with real-time reading/speaking time estimates)
  • 💻 JSON Formatter & Validator (with full syntax highlighting)
  • 🔒 Secure Password Generator
  • 🎨 Color Picker & Converter
  • 🔀 Case Converter, Base64 & URL Encoder/Decoders

Since I am still learning, I would love to get your honest feedback on the UI and functionality. What tools should I focus on adding next?

Thank you so much for checking it out!
