Have you considered building your tools into an IDE plugin/extension? For example, for VS Code using the Extension API?

A few points:

1) You could say, one goal of a tool-maker is to be "readily available", to minimize the gap between a) wanting to use a tool, and b) actually accessing/using it. By being directly in an IDE, you really minimize that gap (for users of that IDE).

2) VS Code is really well thought-out, I'm impressed.

3) Tools can live everywhere. You can do a website and a plugin/extension, etc. Of course its more time/effort.

I would offer to help but I have negligible free time for the foreseeable future!
