I got tired of paywalled utilities, so I built a single site with 100+ free web tools (and a Site Builder)

Hello Dev community! 👋

Like many of you, I constantly find myself needing quick utility tools during my workflow—whether it's formatting some JSON, merging a PDF, converting an image to WebP, or just building a quick bio link page.

Lately, it feels like every basic utility site has added aggressive paywalls, daily limits, or forces you to create an account just to download your processed file. It breaks the flow completely.

So, I decided to build my own solution: Fluranto.

It's a collection of over 100 everyday web utilities, all in one place. My goal was to remove all the friction.

Here are the core rules of the site:

100% Free: No premium tiers, no watermarks, no hidden fees.

Zero Friction: No registration and no email required. You just use the tool and download your file.

Privacy-First: For most of the image processing and text tools, everything runs locally directly in your browser. Your files never touch my servers.

What’s inside?

A complete Site Builder (Waitlist pages, Bio links, Coming Soon pages)

Developer & Data Tools

PDF Tools (Merge, Split, Compress...)

Image & Screenshot Tools (Converters, Resizers ...)

Text & Generators (Calculators, Hashes...)

I am building this solo and I just launched it. I would absolutely love to get some brutal feedback from this community.

Does the UI feel intuitive?

Are the local browser-based tools running fast enough for you?

Did you find any bugs?

Thank you for your time, and I hope these tools save you as much time as they save me! Let me know what you think in the comments.

Civil Engineer to SaaS Founder: How "Vibe Coding" replaced my need for a CTO

The Context
I am a Civil Engineer, not a software architect. I know concrete and steel, not React hooks or API endpoints.
But I had a problem to solve: Chemical safety compliance (HazCom) is a nightmare of paper and lost files. I wanted to build HazComFast to fix it.
The Problem: The "Syntax Wall"
Usually, to build a SaaS, you need to learn syntax. You fight with semicolons and configuration files. I didn't have time for that.
The Solution: Vibe Coding with AI
Instead of learning to code from scratch, I learned to "conduct" AI. I used a stack of AI-first code editors to build the product, focusing on the logic rather than the lines of code.

The Stack (The "Indie Hacker" Special)
To move fast without breaking things, I chose tools that handle the heavy lifting:
Frontend: Generated with AI UI tools (iterating on the design in plain English).
Backend: Supabase. This was a game-changer. It handled my database (Postgres) and authentication instantly, so I didn't have to be a backend expert.
Logic: Node.js (No Python involved!).

The Result
In a fraction of the time it would take a traditional dev team, I built a functional B2B SaaS that parses PDF Safety Data Sheets automatically.

Takeaway
We are entering an era where domain experts (like civil engineers) can build software just by describing the solution. You don't need a CTO to start; you just need a clear vision, Supabase, and the right AI workflow.
