Launching uutil.space

A simple utility app with developer tools baked in, so I can run quick helpers from anywhere on the web.

I launched uutil.space as a super simple utility app with developer tools built in.

Code is open at github.com/nearbycoder/uutil.space.

Why I built it

I keep running into the same problem:

  • I need to do random dev-tool tasks while browsing
  • the tool I need is never where I need it
  • I lose time jumping between tabs and apps

So I made one quick place I can open from anywhere and get straight to the utilities I use most.

What uutil.space is

  • A lightweight utility app for developer helpers
  • Built to be fast, simple, and always available in the browser
  • Focused on cutting friction for small repetitive tasks
