This is a project I've been working on since I became unemployed. As I developed the app, I learned Swift along the way. Not only did it help me master Swift development, but I also created an app that can perform various tasks without relying on online tools, such as SSL management, image watermarking, NPM statistics, URL decoding, and more.
To keep DevHub healthy and well-maintained, I accept donations as a way to generate some income and continue working on it. The app is almost free, and if the tools don't meet your needs, feel free to email me. I’d be happy to hear your ideas and possibly develop small tools for you at no cost.
Very similar to DevUtils (https://devutils.com), but with a much more friendly pricing scheme which is great.
I'm curious though, why link to the GitHub site if it's not an open source app? You even do GitHub releases of what I guess are just the readme files and screenshots?
Since I don't have the funds to set up a server for hosting the website, GitHub Pages offers this service, and it's also a great platform for gathering user feedback.
I use the self-hosted version of IT-Tools [1] on my own subdomain. I find it helpful that I can access these tools no matter which machine I'm using (as long as I have an internet connection).
Impressive! But sadly closed source is a big limiting factor for me. I've been using the similar `devtools-x` for a couple of years now (https://github.com/fosslife/devtools-x) which hosts a bit of a smaller featureset but is still in active development. Nice work nonetheless!
Author of devtools-x here. Thank you for the support :D. We have 40+ features now (not counting json-to-yaml and yaml-to-json as 2 different tools), feel free to request any specific feature you want on the issue tracker. Will be more than happy to implement it.
This is great, thank you for sharing! The QR code generator alone sold me on getting it. So many online generators demand I make an account for some reason.
It would be amazing if this were extendable with plugins though. I have a ton of custom terminal scripts for my workflows, but some of them would just be better with a simple UI. Global hotkeys that take me right to the tool would be awesome too.
Edit: it looks like global hotkeys can be done with the URL Scheme feature and Raycast. Nice.
Do you need fancy looking ones or just barebones QR codes? Because the latter you can just get from the qrcode Python package and simply go "qr news.ycombinator.com > hn.png" in your terminal.
Maybe onsider making it a PWA?
If it's client side only it would probably benefit from being installable and kept around via cache for offline use
Since I didnt get a popup to install and didn't see a manifest I assume this isn't in the plans, Maybe you have another solution for it like a web wrapper?
This is a massive set of capabilities, including an SSL manager, with a ReadMe written in flawless English. It’s perfect for widespread adoption. And the developer lives in...China. Hard pass.
Curiously, there is a similar tool made by GCHQ (UK's intelligence) https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef which I don't use neither because of trust issues (even though it's open source)
In that case, wouldn’t it make sense to use an English name and a fake profile picture of a white male? These 2 things are one click away. If I were trying to spread malware, I wouldn’t use a chinese name!
Exactly. This is just reactionary fear-mongering. Once you start thinking about it a bit more, it completely falls apart:
- what about expats living in China?
- what about Chinese citizens living abroad?
- what about Chinese born citizens that have switch nationalities?
Again, the point I’m making is that we’re even entertaining the discussion because of the target country.
OP thinks it’s ok to discriminate if China-x is the subject of discrimination, or watches too much anti-CN fear porn which has normalized this type of behavior.
And yet... the repo has no source code, posted a github link to HN crowd that expects an a github link to actually be some sort of open source.
This is certainly not the typical "Show HN look at what I've done" post. I'm not accusing the OP of being malicious, but also caution is advised (as always).
I’m sure everyone will make the same type of remarks and take the same kinds of precautions the next time a closed-source project from someone in SanFran gets posted here.
Let’s not dance around the topic, the whole “take head” thread has to do with CN, not because it’s closed source else he may have mentioned it, but he didn’t.
I don't know if we read the same HN, but I read the complaints about something not being open source (or not being *true* open source) all the time. JoeFromSanFran is certainly not exempt from those issues. Nothing to do with where the author comes from.
You're implying that the problem is exclusively because of country of origin. But my comment did not even mention that and was only about the software not being open source, while at the same time a link posted was github link.
So why not post a link to a website? Or app store? Why github?
Plus your coffee machine is watching you and relaying information back to CCP command already. That beady little flashing LED is the heartbeat of communism!
Somewhere in a bunker in rural China: "Look moi2388 has pressed Americano again. Imperialist scum!"
The app runs entirely offline. You can check it out here: https://github.com/jaywcjlove/DevHub
