I have a. suite of tolls for developers:

https://www.punycoder.com/ (a tool for Punycode to Text/Unicode and vice-versa conversion),

https://www.htmlwasher.com/ (a tool if you have some dirty HTML and need to clean it up),

https://www.htmlcorrector.com/ (a tool if you have some not so well-formed HTML and need to fix it),

https://www.htmlenc.com/ (a simple tool to HTML encode (escape) a text),

https://www.urlenc.com/ (a simple tool to URL encode (escape) a text),

https://www.gguid.com/ (a customizable GUID generator),

https://www.64baser.com/ (a Base64 and vice-versa encoder),

https://www.hexator.com/ (a Hex and vice-versa encoder),

https://www.cescaper.com/ (a C and C++ string escaper and unescaper) https://www.htmlinstant.com/ (a simple HTML editor).

https://www.notationer.com/ (a tool to switch across (code) notations, like camelCase, PascalCase, snake-case).

Frontend is mostly in React/Next.js (Some older projects have frontend still in the old ASP.NET MVC and Ajax :-)). Where the backend is needed, it is written in .Net/C# and running on Azure.

interesting,

tho, is it a good idea use the .it domain for technology potentially blocked in Italy?

thanks :-)
Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @02:44PM (#14205802)
thanks :-) I even didn't test it on Word's HTML
Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @12:20PM (#14204394)
ok, yes why not make it customizable
Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @09:56AM (#14202952)
you are right - I will rewrite it to use HTML Tidy lib or something like that and it will be compliant
Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @09:37AM (#14202790)
my project does not want to compete with any lib or commandline or other downloadable tool - yes - it's main purpose is convenience

thanks, I will consider using Bleach as an underlying lib / part of my service

Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @09:20AM (#14202688)
thanks for your comment :-) I think rather than using a web service people would use some library like the HTML Tidy. Regarding to opensourcing - I think I will rather use some opensource as a core lib for my project.
Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:54AM (#14202526)
there is link to my company where is my identity - so it is not anonymous :-) but yes - why not, will fill there something more
Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:53AM (#14202517)
yes - but this is not an online service - I wanted to build something handy you can use when you are stressed at the office need to reuse some other HTML doc quickly no time to install anything :-)

I also realized this tool/lib exists after doing Html Washer - I am considering to use their lib as an underlying lib for my project

Re:Show HN: HtmlWasher – An HTML cleanup tool on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:48AM (#14202490)
e.g. when you are migrating an old website to a new one - that was when I missed such tool in the past
