Open-source utils for devs who don't like ads
- ErikBjare 2y agoThe README isn't clear, what exactly is "data conversion utils" and what is the usage?
- n4r9 2y agoCame to say exactly the same thing. What functionalities does this library contain?
- mano78 2y agoExactly! What does this thing do?
- papa-whisky 2y agohttps://jam.dev/utilities/ https://jam.dev/utilities/ gives more useful info than the git repo.
- thedg 2y agoSuch good feedback, on it! Thank you!!
- totaa 2y agolove this, i always use sketchy websites for simple utils like counting number of words, validating JSON etc. though this is nothing that can't be done on the CLI (wc, jq, grep etc) - it's obviously easier through a web interface if it's only used sparingly.
- alextingle 2y ago> it's obviously easier through a web interface Why? Typing "wc file" seems infinitely easier than navigating through some web interface. Care to explain?
- totaa 2y agoif I am not doing dev work, and mostly working around web applications in the day (e.g. notion, linear, etc) - i don't want to go to open the terminal and switch focus to a different application
- c0wb0yc0d3r 2y agoTruly no ads https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/ https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/
- figmert 2y agoIsn't CyberChef[0] also local and without ads, and also open source? [0] https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/ https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/
- traspler 2y agoJust be careful if you ever need to search for the URL again in the future. Last week a colleague of mine did and the first result on DDG linked to a very sketchy, ad-filled cyberchef instance. It seems like it already got removed again though.
- gchq-7703 2y agoThere's a lot of CyberChef hosted domains that aren't hosted by GCHQ. It's open source, so they're doing nothing wrong, but we can't provide assurances about the code on those sites. The official URL is https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef.
- alias_neo 2y agoHost it yourself then you don't have to worry. I run it in a local Kube cluster and have a bookmark for it.
- Crono 2y agoAwesome tool, thx for the recommendation. Also no npm and fancy build steps involved, just throwing it in the corner of a webserver :) Love it!
- c0wb0yc0d3r 2y agoYou don't even have to host it yourself. It runs in browser. You can also download it and run it as a file I think. My only complaint is that with my limited knowledge of JavaScript, the docs lack the info I need to contribute my own tools. For example, I find myself needing a substring tool but there isn't one :(
- halb 2y agoOn this note I really recommend cyberchef[1]: a large collection of open-source web based utils and converters that can be chained together. Oh and it's maintained by the GCHQ, the agency that cracked the german enigma codes. [1] https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/ https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/
- number6 2y ago> GCHQ, the agency that cracked the german enigma codes. And helped to spy on US citizens...
- defrost 2y agoMarian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki, and Henryk Zygalski, mathematicians of the Polish intelligence service, were first in breaking the Enigma cipher. Also first in building bomba an electrically powered aggregate of six Enigmas, which solved the daily keys within about two hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Rejewski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Rejewski
- joeyagreco 2y agoOutlining exactly what the tool does in the README would help a lot. I was having trouble finding that info.
- thedg 2y agoGreat feedback! Thank you! On it :)
