A developer's appreciation for a privacy-first, client-side web tool.

As developers, we often appreciate well-engineered simplicity. I wanted to give a shout-out to www.unitly.info/en, a unit converter I discovered recently.
What immediately struck me was its commitment to privacy: all conversions happen locally in your browser. No server calls for the math, no data sent off your machine. That's a huge win for user trust and a refreshing approach in a world where everything seems to want your data.
Beyond privacy, it's lightning-fast, has a beautifully clean UI, and feels incredibly responsive – almost like a native app. It's a great example of how powerful client-side execution can be when done right. Just sharing for fellow devs who appreciate good UX and solid, ethical engineering.
