fosslife/devtools-x

Collection of offline first developer utilities available as desktop application. all in one place, cross-platform!

DEVTOOLS-X

devutils is macOS-only, and devtoys is Windows-only.
So here's DevTools-X -- an x-platform collection of dev-tools that is lighter, safer, and full of feature rich (currenltly 32 modules and growing) development utilities.

Note: Application is under development, expect some bugs.

In any case if the app doesn't render/load anything, just delete the file if exists or create settings.json if doesn't exist at: https://docs.rs/tauri/latest/tauri/api/path/fn.data_dir.html

Installation

Download the relevant package from Github Releases section, and start using it! :D

Then just clone and open the project in terminal and run

yarn tauri build

Acknowledgements

This project exists solely because I was fed up switching between different tools on different OSes. Please do star their github repositories, they have inspired many modules in devtools-x

• DevUtils
• DevToys

Tech Stack

DevTools-X is NOT WRITTEN IN ELECTRON.

Client: React, Mantine

Backend: Rust

That should be enough to tell you it's built on top of Tauri, So we get best of the both worlds: Web + Rust. Web to create beautiful cross-platform UI, Rust to create fast and small applications. Tauri bundle is super small, about 10MB of installer.

FAQ

Migrate settings?

There's a backup/restore feature available in settings drawer. you can backup manually as well, copy settings.json from appDir

App is not starting/showing empty screen

Most likely your db is corrupt. delete settings.json file in your appDir. Create a issue if you can't find it.

I do not like the order of modules

All module can be rearranged with drag-n-drop. order is saved in a local db. you can edit this file manually as well, it's a simple json file.

Do I need to know Rust to get started?

Absolutely not. Many modules are written in pure JS, rust is only needed for performance and security sensitive features like calculating hash or compressing image etc.

NEED HELP WITH:

• More features
• Testing
• Can the logo be improved?
• Regex Tester is kinda broken, monaco gives a headache
• Fix ALL FIXME: s and TODO: s

devtools-x's Issues

[Feature Request] improve color tools

Would be awesome to have a lot more things in the color tool like https://www.colorhexa.com/e5d461, especially the color schemes tools

Unknown error while interacting with the clipboard

Hi, starting with version 2.5.0 I can't run devtools anymore:

thread 'main' panicked at /home/runner/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/tauri-runtime-wry-0.14.3/src/lib.rs:2021:55:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Unknown { .. } - "Unknown error while interacting with the clipboard: X11 server connection timed out because it was unreachable"
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Aborted (core dumped)

Same with recently released v 2.6.0

All is fine with 2.4.0
Fedora 39 / GNOME / Xorg

Bug - Number convertors failure

As pointed out in #22 by @cocoonkid the number modules fails when base is smaller than input

Oxidization of performance sensitive tools

Hello, I would like to help with converting some performance sensitive features to Rust as mentioned in the README. Is there a To-Do list of these modules that would benefit from being converted?

Devtools 1.7.0 on Linux (Debian 11) shows a blank window

Installed using the Deb on Debian 11. App just loads up to a white screen with nothing to press or interact with.

[Feature Request] meme generator

The people have spoken!

Feat request - cron explain / builder

Something like https://crontab.guru/

we already have this "one ring to rule them all" tool

it's calling https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

works offline, also on Linux :)

Build Linux package with dependencies of lower version

The Appimage reports version 'GLIBC_2.32' not found and deb reports error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. However, on Debian 11 those libraries cannot upgrade to that high version. Considering Debian 11 is still quite popular, please lower the versions of dependencies during building if possible.Thanks.

Add the tools to brew

Brew is a standard way for many people to install tools on Mac. It would be good to have the ability to install devtools-x via brew.

Devtools 1.7.0 on MacOS 11.6.4 shows a blank window

The "about" menu works to display application logo and version but rest of application remains blank.

[Feature Request] epoch converter

would love to see a tool like this one https://www.epochconverter.com/

supports aarch64-apple-darwin: targets Apple silicon

[Feature Request] regexp tool

I know you already have a regexp tool. Would be awesome for it to be improved.
The online one i currently use is https://regexr.com/ which is open source https://github.com/gskinner/regexr/ (but in php)

Bug - crash because of db util on macos

As pointed out by @jackphilippi in #22 (comment)

The tool fails with some db error. need more information
