v0.3.0-beta

Ten new tools, all in the launcher and as dashboard widgets. Each is its own extension, so the first page load stays light: the browser fetches a tool only when it is used.

What’s new

• URL and HTML: encode, decode and take apart URLs and query strings, and HTML entities.
• JSON, YAML and TOML: convert between the three formats. The parsers are small and cover config-style files; unsupported features are refused with a clear message.
• Number bases: hex, binary, octal and decimal, byte sizes (SI and IEC), and bit flags.
• IP and CIDR: network, broadcast, masks and host ranges, membership and overlap checks, for IPv4 and IPv6.
• chmod and umask: octal and symbolic permissions, with a clickable grid.
• Text case and counts: every case spelling at once, slugs, and word, character and line counts.
• HTTP reference: status codes, headers and MIME types, built in and offline.
• Open Graph viewer: see how a link looks when shared, with every tag and a list of checks.
• Web search: google, ddg, github, mdn and about twenty more engines.
• Can I use: browser support for a web feature.
• A new Web & network category in the widget gallery.
• 555 web tests (up from 225).

Things you might notice

• Open Graph fetches pages through your Home Screen server, only when you press Enter or Fetch. Can I use downloads the public data (about 450 KB) from GitHub the first time you search, then keeps it in the browser for a week. Both are described in Privacy and security.
• The program is about 46 KB larger (1,196,032 bytes) and still fits on a floppy disk with room to spare: Binary size.
