XUtil

I built xutil.in, a growing collection of simple, fast, and ad-free developer utilities—all bundled into a single site. It started as a weekend project when I got tired of juggling multiple tools from random websites with slow UIs or annoying popups. Currently includes tools like: JSON/XML/YAML converters JWT decoder Hash generators (SHA-256, etc.) Base64/ROT13 encoders QR code generator Timezone converter LeetSpeak & Pig Latin translators ...and more than 25 others Everything works client-side. No login required. No tracking. No dark patterns. Would love feedback, feature…

XUtil launched on May 26, 2025 with 14 votes, #1,114 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

    Hey HN! I've been building random tools whenever I needed them over the past few months, and now I have 177 of them.

  • 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…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
