Dev tools, in one place.

Free browser-only developer utilities: a live regex tester with cheat sheets (including Python), a UUID generator covering v1 through v7, and a bidirectional JSON ↔ CSV converter with Excel-compatible output. No signup. No server round-trip. Nothing uploads.

Why these, and why browser-only

Every developer has a pinned tab for a regex tester, a UUID generator, and a format converter. Most of those tabs point at sites that want your email, nudge you toward a signup, or quietly send your data somewhere for analytics. The browser can do all of this work locally. The regex engine is native, UUID generation is in the Web Crypto API, and parsing CSV is about 40 lines of JavaScript, so there's no real reason to upload anything.

The tools here are the ones we use daily. They're deliberately narrow. The regex tester is ECMAScript-flavor only (not PCRE, not Python, not Java) because that's what most devs are writing regex for when they open a browser tab, and because shipping five flavors means maintaining five engines. The UUID generator doesn't try to pretend it can give you a real MAC-based v1. The browser can't see your MAC, so the node portion is random and we say so. The JSON ↔ CSV converter handles nested objects with dot notation because that's what people actually want.
