from the show-hn dept.

I built QuickRef as a collection of developer tools that run entirely in the browser.Most online tools send data to servers, which isn’t ideal when working with logs, tokens or sensitive text.I built this because I often didn’t want to paste sensitive data into online tools.So the goal was: • everything runs client-side • no login • no tracking • fast and minimalWould love feedback or...
