Hello internet,

Excited to share https://url.computer/, a simple client-side developer tool that helps parse and edit URLs and build cURL queries.

It's meant to be a lightweight Postman alternative that's 100% private and client side, and makes both editing and saving URLs easy.

OMG it's got features & stuff:

Easily parse and live-edit URLs.
Build cURL queries with headers, JSON body, flags, whatever.
100% client side, no accounts, nothing is sent to any server.
Local app state is saved to the URL #fragment creating shareable links.
Save states to local storage.
Import a URL directly by pasting it in: https://url.computer/google.com
Automatically clean up URL query args: url.computer/clean/cool-thing-i-found.com?oh-no-a-tracking-id=omgwtf
It's a nice shade of blue.

I made this to make my life easier working on long, complex, and usually ephemeral dev URLs.

Use cases:

Edit or replace a single query or piece of a long URL that's annoying to parse yourself.
Save a dev or staging URL you're working on and need to keep reloading.
Save a sample API query, including the cURL stuff to ping it, and share it with a coworker.
Paste an inscrutable url somewhere for your own reasons: https://url.computer/#N4IgrgTgNiBcIAsAuSAOBnWB6LSCmAdngIYRILoLEp4QCWBA5gEZQD2A7ugHQDGbAWyyleCOgDc86LPwF1eWAIwAPAAyKQAGhC9IMWKAF5ybACZwQAcQCiAFS2ISp2ujjAAvtuZmAnhYdsqEh0bASusADaALru7kA===
Enjoy the nice shade of blue & the fact that .computer is a valid TLD.

Hope y'all find it useful!
