On a side note, thanks for wisp. I was looking for something like it so I could use it to quickly test the web builds of my tauri mobile app.

Someone contributed v7 already!

I checked for conflicts but didn't go all the way to check for games. What is that anyway?

I don't have a strict idea of "done" for ut. But, I am not keen on adding increasing complex things to it either. It's purpose is convenience not exhaustiveness.

Hey, yeah, fair concern. Some tools already have tests, but, I do plan on adding it to all of them.

You don't even have to go that far, `base64` is a coreutil (https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/ebfd80083b4fe4ae...).

The point of ut is not to replace or invent new tooling. It is meant to be a set of tools that are simple, self exploratory and work out of the box with sane defaults. So, essentially, something that you don't have to remember syntax for or go through help/man pages everytime you want to use it.

This looks cool, thanks!

Hey HN,

I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools.

For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for,

- Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode)

- Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512

- Data Generation: uuid (v1, v3, v4, v5), token, lorem, random

- Text Processing: case (lower, upper, camel, title, constant, header, sentence, snake), pretty-print, diff

- Development Tools: calc, json (builder), regex, datetime

- Web & Network: http (status), serve, qr

- Color & Design: color (convert)

- Reference: unicode

For full disclosure, parts of the toolkit were built with Claude Code (I wanted to use this as an opportunity to play with it more). Feel free to open feature requests and/or contribute.

It looks so much better than I expected. This is cool.

This looks awesome, thanks! The best thing about this imo is that I can remember the url instead of having to dig through pages to find the official pinout pdf.

I wanted to start using golinks in my workflow and I am a fan of the duckduckgo bangs. So, I built a Rust based web server that can act can act as your default search engine and handle bangs and go links for you.

It is configurable via a toml file.

Have not played around with it, but, curious, how does debugging on production work for a specific request/session? Can I filter by some sort if request trace id or something?

The whole twitch demo thing is genius and fun. Do printer companies usually not provide a first party apps or integrations?

Thanks for the kind words. I am so glad you found it useful.

Yup, wormhole and portal are better in most aspects. Beam is helpful when you have novel constraints like not being able to install arbitrary binaries, or if you have the need to transfer streams and not just files, or maybe even pub key based white-listing of access.

You don't have to interpret it in its strongest flavor. I meant more of inbound isolation when I said it.

ksdme9 — Sat, 04 Jan 2025 12:07:39 +0000

Yup, you are right.

You can do this using a regular SSH server and some elbow grease. This is meant to be a simple setup and forget system that is relatively locked down and doesn't expose any more functionality than strictly necessary.

ksdme9 — Sat, 04 Jan 2025 10:46:58 +0000

This is meant for cases when the machines are isolated, for example, when you attach to a remote container and want to download a file from it to your machine.
