I kept wishing there was an “iLovePDF for text” - so I started building one

I use websites like iLovePDF, Smallpdf, Canva, and iLoveIMG quite often. They make it really easy when I need to do something with a PDF or an image.

But I noticed something while working with plain text.

There wasn't really a place that felt like that for everyday text work.
Whenever I needed to do something with text, I'd end up searching Google, opening a random website, doing the task, and moving on. Then I'd have to do the same thing again a few days later.

That honestly got a little annoying.

So I decided to try building my own version of that idea, but specifically for text.

I called it iLoveText.

It's still a work in progress, and I'm adding things as I use them myself. I'm not sure yet how useful people will actually find it, which is why I'm sharing it here.

I'd genuinely love to know:
If you had one website dedicated entirely to working with text, what would you expect it to have?

Not looking for compliments — I'm more interested in what feels missing, annoying, or unnecessary.
If you get a chance to try it, I'd really appreciate any honest feedback.
