Hey Product Hunt, so excited to launch & open-source 15 new dev tools!
It's wild – the online utils devs use every day are cluttered with ads.
So, we made an ad-free, open source, light & simple alternative.
This all started at a team dinner –– thanks to the amazing idea by @preston_pham to build our own set of tools with a better dev experience than the tools we were all using every day.
They could be client-side + fast, ad-free + uncluttered, and we could open-source them too.
Since that dinner, any time we needed a util we’d just add it to our stack. So far we’re at 15 tools! (and we’ve already got our first community contribution, thanks @cassidoo for an awesome .env to netlify.toml converter!)
So excited to open source it and share with you today! 😃
Check it out at jam.dev/utilities or view the source at github.com/jamdotdev/jam-dev-utilities.
Which tool do you want to see added next?
@preston_pham@cassidoo@thedanigrant Seriously, from personal experience, most of the products I use have ads. The fact that this one doesn't have any is already a win! It takes real determination to resist the temptation of profit. I really admire the team for this decision.
Congrats @thedanigrant and team! Been using jam.dev for a year and more now (wow time flies). Love how they are always solving problems they recognized first internally and built great solutions for them.
I gotta say these tools look super clean. And it's great that you wrote docs for almost each tool there too. And it's open source and local device run only?! It's just a truly valuable collections of awesome tools.
I think one cool tool to include is URL redirect tracker. This could be super useful to check URLs to see if they are safe to open.
Congrats on the launch, @thedanigrant! I'm curious about the performance of these utilities, especially for larger datasets. Have you tested any stress scenarios yet?
Hehe Dani, you made smile with 'who don’t like ads' cause it's true. As a current dev I hate them and appreciate your help on this. Making this easier and more confortable. Wish you all the best here! Cheers
Love this and that it is open source 🥰
Also side not, this got me to discover Jam (good job here eheh 👀) and I almost miss my job in a company so I could receive beautiful bug reports like this and not having to answer the usual "screenshots plz" 😂
The video just him me hard.
Ok, so we use everyday so much of these free tools, see ads, probably share a lot of data with them, this is a must to have. just thinking why it didnt exist before! Already using it! great tool.
Dev Utils looks really promising! I love that it's open-source and ad-free—it's about time we had lightweight tools that respect our privacy. The cmd+k search feature is a sleek touch that can save time when navigating through utilities. Plus, the fact that any needed tool can just get added to the stack shows a great focus on user needs. I'm excited to see what tools get added next! It’s great to have a resource that’s simple and fast without the clutter we’re used to. Kudos to Dani and the team for putting this together! Can't wait to try it out!
🔥 DevUtils is a lifesaver for developers who want to streamline their workflow and avoid the hassle of using multiple online tools. Having everything in one offline app—from JSON formatting to Base64 decoding—is such a time saver! 🛠️ It’s fast, lightweight, and reliable. Plus, the smart clipboard detection feature is genius! 🚀 This app truly makes daily development tasks feel smoother and more efficient. Any plans to expand support for Linux or Windows? Keep up the great work! 👏
Love the Jam team and everything they push.
Offering all of these utilities at no cost is a gift for the rest of us.
Thanks @thedanigrant and Jam team!
This is awesome, @thedanigrant! Ad-free tools are a game changer! Can't believe it started at a dinner—talk about productive brainstorming. What’s next on the roadmap? 🚀
