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, 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.
