Free stuff
I started building tools about a year and a half ago and have released two so far. My Django Secret Key Generator was meant to demonstrate some ways to reason about random but people seem to use it. Over the coming weeks, I will edit that tool to show those people how they can build their own tool with Django internals and generate their own keys without having to trust some random person on the internet and dev tools.
As part of my site redesign, I released another tool that I have been using as part of my accessibility protocol. I call it SCSS Contrast: WCAG Grid and as shocking as this is, it accepts SCSS varibles, checks the contrast of each pairing, checks those contrast ratios according to WCAG AA and AAA levels of accessibility and posts the results in a grid. With a company name like Greg Hluska Consulting, a product name like FitnessTracker and tools with these naming conventions, I think my next product will be about generating extremely literal product names as a service.
To celebrate and prepare for Siteimp's beta launch, I released a tool called NDJSON Formatter. Format NDJSON and JSONL in your browser without uploading your file. Paste text or open a local file, then search, expand, collapse, copy, and inspect each record by its original line number.
I also released a JSON Formatter for more ordinary JSON files: paste JSON or open a local file, then format, minify, and copy the output in your browser without uploading your file. If your file is one complete JSON object or array, use the JSON Formatter. If your file has one JSON object per line, use the NDJSON Formatter.
The newest tool is a JSON-LD Sanity Checker for structured data before it gets published. Paste raw JSON-LD or a full script tag, then check whether it is valid JSON, inspect it as an expandable tree, and review common structured-data issues. It is not a full Schema.org validator or a Google rich results test, but it is a very handy little preflight check before hitting git push.
