Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a project called OnlineView for the past few months, and I'm excited to finally share it with the dev community. It's a collection of 99+ free online tools designed specifically for developers.

The Problem I Solved:

As a developer, I found myself constantly jumping between 10+ different websites to handle simple tasks:

Format JSON or beautify JavaScript
Convert images to PDF or vice versa
Test regex patterns
Check DNS records
Generate QR codes
And so many more...

I wanted ONE place where I could access all these tools without installation, registration, or bloatware.

What I Built:

OnlineView is a unified platform with tools across multiple categories:

📄 PDF Tools:

Edit PDFs (add text, annotations)
Merge multiple PDFs
Compress PDFs
Add watermarks
Convert PDF to images

🖼️ Image Tools:

Image converter (PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP)
Convert images to PDF
HEIC to JPG converter (for iPhone photos)
QR code generator
SVG to PNG converter

💻 Developer Tools:

JSON formatter & validator
JavaScript beautifier
SQL formatter
RegEx tester (with live matching)
PHP sandbox
CSS & YAML formatters
Markdown to HTML converter
Color picker (Hex, RGB, HSL)

🌐 Network Tools:

Check your IP address (IPv4/IPv6)
DNS lookup
Website uptime checker

🛠️ Utilities:

Password generator
Word counter (words, characters, reading time)
Unit converter
Hash generator (MD5, SHA-256, etc.)
Lorem Ipsum generator
