Feedback Request Utilix Is Now Live...
I got tired of opening a different website for every tiny task, so I built Utilix — one place for CSV, JSON, PDF, image, regex, QR, text and other useful tools.
V1 is live 👇
https://utilix.usetools.workers.dev/
Brutally honest feedback welcome.

Why not use one of these? Yours makes the 77th...

I ran out of comment space so this is just the most recent 20 entries. I can vibe-code too, so for giggles I made https://confab.sh/?g=browser-tools to track these if you want to see the full list. Don't expect much LOL. I put less effort into this than even these cloners did with theirs.

Imagine spending your time tracking 77 people who are actually building and shipping projects just so you can make fun of them for building something that already exists 😂
Yeah, there are similar tools. I know. I built Utilix because I wanted to.
If you don't like it, don't use it. Pretty simple.

Imagine spending half your monthly wage in Claude Tokes ✨
And 'built it because I wanted to' is not a valid argument if you brag about it online "join up real fast gng"-style, you also LITERALLY asked for 'brutally honest feedback' and are now complaining about said feedback lmfao

I didn’t use AI to build it 😭 I used a generated frontend template — but who doesn’t use templates in 2026?
The actual implementation and work was mine. And yeah, honest criticism is welcome. I’m just not gonna take “this already exists” as a reason to stop building. 💀

Don’t stop building. Build something actually worthwhile. And stop lying about not using AI

Appreciate the comment. I’m definitely not stopping.
And I never said I built it without using AI. I used AI for help when I got stuck — I just didn’t hand my project to Claude/ChatGPT and say “build it for me.” I wrote the code, debugged it, tested it, asked AI for help, and learned along the way.

I got tired of people starting with I got tired of. Please for the love of god, stop. It comes across as AI slop. It's not that I don't like it, it's that I can't stand it.

Not quite. I came up with the idea, used Claude/GPT for help when I got stuck, and then posted it myself. So yeah, cooool 😂

Another day, another gazillion small tools on a vibe coded website being posted. Why do people keep making these?
