Self-hosted developer tools · dev.5457090.xyz

Small tools, private by default

The everyday utilities I kept pasting my data into random websites — JSON, timestamps, regex — rebuilt to run here. Everything is processed in the browser or on my own server, and nothing leaves the network. Source lives in GitNest.

Why self-host them

Local processing

Formatting a config with credentials into a third-party website is exactly the habit these tools replace.

Zero-dependency pages

Each tool is a single self-contained HTML file: no external JS, works even if the CDN layer is down.

Keyboard first

Every tool has shortcuts and a command palette entry; the mouse is optional.

Open source

Code lives in the devtools repo on GitNest.
