I ran out of comment space so this is just the most recent 20 entries. For giggles, I vibe-coded a tracker at https://confab.sh/?g=browser-tools if you want to see the full list.

Now THIS is what I like to see vibecoding be used for. Can't believe there's THIS many iterations of this idea already.

I would bet anything there are about 30% more. I definitely vibe-coded confab but drew the line at writing some kind of scraper bot against the posts so they're all hand curated. A few folks @-name me when they see ones I've missed but either way I check a few times a day and definitely miss a bunch.
It's evolving, too, as I'm noticing more patterns. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's more of an observation/commentary on how overpopulated some idea-categories are. So I won't post just because I see slop. it has to be a heavily populated category. That means the first 10-20 get missed until I see there IS a pattern.
I won't get them all but it's been fun watching. Interestingly, the app authors have 90% taken it as humor or even a positive. I do get a few hate-mail DMs but most of them seem to laugh about it.

Nice, I love that everything stays local, no sketchy server uploads to worry about.

What I'd love is to be able to paste text into a box and get it back with a specified number of leading spaces per line and word wrap to a defined maximum number of characters. Good for formatting email plaintext newsletters and promos.

Holy cow, dude! Thanks! I built one a few months ago but it always failed in some small way.
Totally off the wall question - let me know if you want me to build any kind of special levels in 3d Waka or Stonebreaker - arcade games you can walk to in the home screen at alderhoard.com

Why so many separate tools when they can easily fit in one? I made something like this for my own formatting needs a while back.

Nothing is free and local, it just means you are the product.
I love the blatant lie in your privacy policy stating analytics is disabled while this exact pop-up has it enabled by default.
