So last week I posted about my collection of free client-side dev tools (18 at the time). Got some really nice feedback and a few feature ideas from the comments (thanks btw!).
My biggest addition this week: an EXIF metadata viewer/remover. Honestly started as a "oh crap" moment — I was looking at some old photos and realized every single one had GPS coordinates, camera serial number, and a bunch of other stuff baked right into the file. Stuff I definitely wouldn't want to accidentally leak when sharing photos online.
The tool shows you everything your photo is hiding and then lets you download a clean copy. All client-side, same as the rest of the tools.
Also added a bunch of other things since last time: JWT decoder, SQL formatter, cron expression parser, QR generator, CSV↔JSON converter, code minifier, HTTP status code reference, and an HTML entity encoder.
Take a look if you want: https://quickdev.cc
Honest update on the business side: still figuring out the monetization piece (leaning toward AdSense once traffic hits a reasonable number), but the feedback loop has been awesome — real users telling me what they actually need has been way more valuable than any planning.
If you've got ideas for tool #20, I'm all ears.

btw if anyone's wondering how the stripping works — it re-encodes the image through a canvas element. crude but effective, and means we never see your photo. downside is HEIC support relies on the browser's decoder, so Safari handles it best.
open to suggestions for tool #20, been thinking maybe a file hash generator or an SSL cert decoder 🤔
