Nice work!
I made something similar to this at work. At the time, I thought I was just helping 1 or 2 people who had trouble using a text editor to manipulate large amounts of text. I found out this was a much bigger problem than I thought. Of all the utilities I built, it was one of the most used. I would show up to product demos from other teams and they would use it to prepare text for their demo… live on the screen share, not before hand. If they weren’t actively using it, I would see it in their bookmark bar. It was getting thousands of hits per month, and has for years. I’m still shocked by it.
I’ll have to keep your site in mind for myself, or if I notice people are struggling with text outside of my work context (they don’t like us using company data on open internet sites), as this is a fairly common problem I don’t often see talked about.
Your site does quite a bit more than mine ever will. Mine is mainly to turn garbage input into a clean delimited list.
- ogkai 2y agoThanks for your comments! It's my first app so I'm quite excited. I can understand to the surprise of discovering just how widespread the need for efficient text manipulation is. I look for hours for my needs too, couldn't find much for my use. Hoping that this solves most of the issues and looking forward to making it better for you and anybody who needs it.
