- People needing quick browser-side utilities
- Worth noticing
- The hub includes formatters for JSON, XML, YAML, SQL, and Markdown, plus local color and device tests.
Field notes
The hub separates ordinary text utilities from more specialized browser tests and party-oriented generators. Its code section covers JSON, XML, YAML, SQL, and Markdown, while the color section can sample pixels from a local image and export CSS variables. The page also includes keyboard, gamepad, mouse, speaker, and dead-pixel checks, making it more than a collection of counters and converters.
