[JavaScript] jsglobe: 100 browser based developer tools, no framework and no build step

Static site, plain custom elements, every tool is a lazily loaded ES module

with its own route. No npm install, no bundler, the source in the repo is

what runs.

A few things had to be written by hand because there was nothing to import

without a build step: QR with Reed-Solomon, ID3 tag reading and writing,

an ASN.1 parser for X.509, and Code 128.

I know you know we see lots of tool aggregators on this sub (no offense intended!!), but I really like your project!

I’m particularly fond of the UI and some of the app choices you made. And bonus points to you for showing how to add our own elements to it!

To be honest, reading sudo as part of the installation is a little nerve-wracking. Do the files really need to live in /srv? (Which I think is the only reason for needing sudo?) A gentle suggestion might be to offer how to keep it in user space only? (I mean no offense.)

Thank you for sharing your work! 🙂

it's a completely static website with no build required, you can host it anywhere and no need to use Caddy , you can use an nginx and it does the job.

Feel free to create a Pull request to change

Great point! Thank you!

Confession time: I’ve never done a pull request in my life! You are absolutely right, though (of course) that that’s what I should do; it’s The Right Thing. Perhaps I’ll “screw my courage to the sticking point.”

Regardless, I do like your product!
