Tools that actually work. News you actually read.
I'm tired of landing pages that promise the world and deliver a broken JSON parser. TechSilo is a collection of utilities I built because I needed them, and a newsletter where I tell you what actually matters this week. No fluff. No VC-backed buzzwords. Just stuff that works.
The Toolbox
Built because I got annoyed with everything else.
JSON Formatter
Paste ugly JSON. Get pretty JSON. Works offline. No "uploading" your config files to some sketchy server.
Favicon Converter
Drop a PNG. Get every size Apple, Google, and Microsoft demand. Because remembering 32x32 vs 180x180 is not a skill.
AI Code Explainer
Paste spaghetti code. Get a human explanation. Powered by AI that actually understands context, not just pattern matching.
File Converter
Images, docs, whatever. Converts in your browser. Your files never touch our servers. Privacy by default, not by PR statement.
Regex Tester
Test patterns in real-time. With a cheat sheet because nobody actually memorizes lookahead assertions.
More coming...
I add tools when I personally need them. Suggest one and if it annoys me enough, I'll build it.
Why this exists
I could give you a mission statement about "empowering developers" but honestly? I just wanted better tools and someone to cut through the hype.
Your data stays yours
Most "free" tools make money by selling your uploads, your inputs, your behavior. Our converters run in your browser. Our AI tools don't store your prompts. I'm not building a data harvesting operation disguised as a utility.
Fast because it's simple
No 47 tracking scripts. No chat widgets that take 8 seconds to load. No cookie banners because we don't use cookies. Just the tool, instantly. The way the web used to feel.
Newsletter with opinions
Every week I write about one thing worth your time, one tool that surprised me, and one thing everyone's hyping that probably isn't that great. Written by a human who actually builds stuff, not a content farm.
Get the weekly breakdown
One email every Sunday. The best tools I found that week, one honest take on something overrated, and maybe a rant about JavaScript frameworks. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
No tracking, no selling your data. Just weekly emails.
Built by someone who actually uses this stuff
I'm not a startup. I'm not raising funding. I'm just a developer who got frustrated and started building. If that resonates, stick around. If not, no hard feelings.
