  • •Vanilla JS with no build step keeps tools lightweight and maintainable long-term
Weaknesses
  • •Commoditized space: JSONForge vs Pastbin, Regex101; SQL vs SQLiteOnline; Log viewers abundant
  • •No killer feature differentiates from existing tools beyond privacy angle

Post Description

Hey HN,

I built rawkit.dev, a collection of browser-based developer utilities. No ads, no signups, no tracking. Everything processes client-side — your data never touches a server.

The tools:

- JSONForge: JSON editor with tree/graph views, diff, transform, JQ-style queries, format conversion

- SQLSandbox: SQLite via WASM — import CSVs, write SQL, join across files

- Regexplorer: Regex builder with live matching, plain English mode,nmulti-language export

- SiftLog: Log file viewer with auto-detection, severity filtering, regex search, timeline

- Tabulate: CSV/TSV viewer with spreadsheet-style filtering and sorting

Tech: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. No frameworks, no build step.

Each tool is essentially 3 files(index.html, css and .js file)

I built these because I was sick of ad-ridden, upload-your-data-to-our-server alternatives for tasks I do daily. The goal is to keep adding tools that developers actually need.

Curious what tools you'd want to see next
