I Built Privacy-First Developer Tools That Run 100% in Your Browser

The Problem

Every time I needed to format JSON or encode Base64, I had to use online tools that uploaded my data
to unknown servers. For sensitive data, this felt wrong.

The Solution

I built THEJORD - a collection of developer tools where everything runs client-side. Your data
never leaves your browser.

🔗 Try it: thejord.it

What's Included

  • JSON Formatter & Validator - Format, validate, beautify with syntax highlighting
  • PDF Tools - Merge, split, compress PDFs using WebAssembly (no server!)
  • Base64 Encoder/Decoder
  • Hash Generator - MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512
  • Regex Tester - Live highlighting and match groups
  • Cron Expression Builder
  • Diff Checker
  • UUID Generator
  • And more...

Tech Stack

  • Next.js 16 with Turbopack
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • WebAssembly for PDF processing

Why Privacy Matters

When you paste code or data into online tools, you're trusting that:

  1. The server doesn't log your data
  2. The connection is secure
  3. The company won't be breached

With client-side processing, none of this matters - your data stays on your machine.
