TxtFiddle – JavaScript playground for text manipulation tasks

In plain words

TxtFiddle is a JavaScript playground designed for performing text manipulation tasks. Launched in 2021, it provides developers and users who need to process, transform, or analyze text with an interactive environment to write and test JavaScript code. The tool is aimed at anyone working with text data who wants a dedicated space to experiment with string operations and similar text-based programming challenges without setting up a full development environment.

  Defuddle, an HTML-to-Markdown alternative to Readability2025 · github.com · ▲418

  Defuddle is an open-source JS library I built to parse and extract the main content and metadata from web pages. It can also return the content as Markdown. I built Defuddle while working on Obsidian Web Clipper[1] (also MIT-licensed) because Mozilla's Readability[2] appears to be mostly abandoned, and didn't work well for many sites. It's still very much a work in progress, but I thought I'd share it today, in light of the announcement that Mozilla is shutting down Pocket. This library could be helpful to anyone building a read-it-later app. Defuddle is also available as a CLI:…

  Txtl – Fast static website of text utilities2025 · viveksjain.github.io · ▲65

  I often need simple text tools (e.g. diffing, epoch time conversion, number base conversion) and was frustrated that I couldn't find a simple option that was as fast as I wanted. Many (SEO-optimized) websites exist, but they unnecessarily send your input to their servers. I used tools like DevToys but their diff has been broken on Mac for a while [1] and it requires installing an app, and CyberChef is good but requires too many interactions (yes, I'm picky). So, I decided to build my own. txtl tries to autodetect what mode you want based on the input, and in general is fast and gets out of…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
