https://fixparser.targetcompid.com/ FIX parser allows users to paste FIX protocol snippets into the app, which parses the log and displays the results in a nice, human readable format. This app is for a very niche segment of technologists who work on financial trading system.

This is a side project of mine and has been for a few years. It is very gratifying to get emails from random users telling me how much they love the app (and asking for additional features). Just a couple of weeks ago I added an important feature: the ability to securely share FIX logs.

I'm pretty proud of the fact that the interface is pretty simple, yet hides lots of functionality the users probably don't even notice. For example, the logs you paste can be surrounded by other garbage, such as timestamps or log4j noise and the correct message will still be extracted. It will guess delimiters. Users can drag and drop a file on to the text field. Click on a message (very subtly) highlights related messages. I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.

There is plenty (plenty!) more I could add. Just a small matter of having no time :)
