19 Open-Source Utils for Conversion, Formatting + More (no ads, free, client-side)

Then we got our first community contribution! Thanks Cassidy Williams for an awesome .env to Netlify.toml converter. And a couple weeks ago, we launched the site so anyone can use the tools, all client-side, free, and open-source.

Our site is built with:

Are there any other tools that you wish existed or are there any other tools that you've made for yourself like this? Let us know! We'll be adding new tools regularly, so check back for more.

P.S. We’re hiring engineers and if you like building dev tooling, that’s our Jam and we’d love to chat: jam.dev/careers
