I often needed a quick way to share text or links temporarily — things like notes, snippets, or quick information — without relying on chat apps, emails, or accounts.
Most tools I found were either too heavy or required signing up, so I decided to build something small and simple for myself.
That idea became ZipUtils — a lightweight collection of utilities that includes:
- Temporary text sharing with expiry
- URL shortening
- QR code generation
While building it, I focused on:
- Keeping the UI minimal
- Avoiding unnecessary tracking
- Making pages fast and mobile-friendly
- Using pre-rendering for better SEO
The biggest challenge wasn’t building features, but deciding what not to add.
If you were building or using a tool like this:
- What features would you expect?
- What would feel unnecessary?
- Is simplicity more important than flexibility?
