So I started turning my little scripts into web tools and grouped them under one roof: <strong>MutantCat.org</strong> (yes, named after a slightly weird-looking cat 🐱).</p> <h2> What it is </h2> <p>A small collection of lightweight, browser-based utilities. No installs, no popups, no "sign up to continue".</p> <h2> A few I actually use </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>CowCowClock</strong> — a minimal focus clock (the mascot is a cow, long story)</li> <li> <strong>PDF / Markdown / LaTeX readers</strong> — open a file, read it, done</li> <li> <strong>Online whiteboard</strong> — scratch out ideas</li> <li> <strong>IconPin</strong> — upload a photo, get a perler-bead (拼豆) pattern you can export. Free.</li> <li> <strong>FishMusic, Honeycomb (offline toolbox), BoardGameAssistant</strong> — small but handy</li> </ul> <h2> Why </h2> <p>I'd rather ship a tool that does one thing and loads fast than a dashboard that nags you. Everything free is labeled free; everything else just works in the browser.</p> <p>If you've ever wanted a "swiss army knife" that isn't trying to upsell you, come say hi at <a href="https://www.mutantcat.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">mutantcat.org</a>. Suggestions welcome.</p> showdev tools webdev
