Changelog

Developer micro-tools: eight new pages

A focused cluster of small, single-purpose developer utilities. Each runs entirely in the browser; no input is transmitted.

• New: Base64 encoder and decoder — standard and URL-safe variants, UTF-8 round-trip.
• New: URL encoder and decoder — component, full-URL, and form-data modes.
• New: JSON formatter, validator, and minifier — sort keys, clear parse errors with line and column.
• New: UUID generator — v4 and v7 (RFC 9562 time-ordered) in bulk.
• New: password and passphrase generator — adjustable classes, entropy display, word-list passphrases.
• New: Unix timestamp converter — live current epoch in three precisions, two-way ISO 8601 conversion.
• New: regex tester — JavaScript flavor, live highlighting, capture groups, replacement preview.
• New: ANSI escape code reference — 8-color, 256-color, 24-bit RGB, with style modifiers.

Home page now has a fourth tools section ("Developer Micro-Tools"); the navigation links to it directly.

Topic-authority expansion: ten new pages

A second wave of pages, focused on small text utilities, references, and creator-workflow content adjacent to the existing tools.

• New: ASCII art gallery — copy-ready dividers, frames, prompts, status icons, and arrows.
• New: cyberpunk and terminal color palettes — Matrix green, cyber cyan, amber CRT, ice blue, blood red, neon purple, with HEX/RGB/HSL copy.
• New: Unicode symbol reference — searchable, click-to-copy across box-drawing, blocks, arrows, math, geometry, currency, and miscellaneous.
• New: box-drawing tool — wraps any text in ASCII or Unicode frames with style, alignment, and padding controls.
• New: fake prop-data generator — clearly-fake IPs, MACs, hostnames, IDs, and ports for video and screenshot use.
• New: leet speak (1337) translator — light, classic, and extreme substitution levels.
• New: reverse, flip, and mirror text — three transformations with a word-order toggle.
• New: keyboard shortcuts reference — per-tool shortcuts plus the browser shortcuts that matter for capture.
• New: accessibility and effects — practical guidance on motion, flashing, contrast, and screen readers.
• New: this changelog.

Editorial pass and AdSense readiness review

The home page and the policy pages were reviewed and rewritten where needed. The aim was to tighten messaging, remove anything that was not accurate, and bring the site's framing in line with what it actually offers.

• Home page rewritten to lead with the visual tools instead of an inflated "scripts archive" framing. Fabricated metrics (script counts, language counts, "24/7 updates") removed.
• Privacy policy expanded to cover GDPR legal bases, CCPA / CPRA rights, server-log retention, and the third-party services in use (Google Analytics, AdSense, Fonts, Leaflet via unpkg).
• Cookie policy split out into a standalone page with a category breakdown and opt-out links.
• Terms tightened, governing-law placeholder restored as [Jurisdiction], and the educational-and-entertainment disclaimer made explicit per tool.
• About page added with editorial approach, content production notes, and an entity-level description of who runs the site.
• Contact page rewritten in the site's design system with the email front and center; the "what to write about" list reduced to specifics.
• Footer link order standardized across every page: About · Contact · Privacy · Terms · Cookies.
• "Last reviewed on" dates added to substantive pages, with matching meta name="last-modified" and og:updated_time tags.

First-wave content additions: ASCII banner and creator workflow

Two pages added alongside the editorial pass to fill real coverage gaps.

• New: ASCII banner generator — block, slant, and shadow styles with one-click copy.
• New: streaming and content-creator toolkit — practical workflow for using the visual tools as OBS browser sources, with a comparison table and a worked example.

Bug fixes and structural cleanups

• Cyber attack map: fixed a malformed style attribute on the ICMP protocol bar that was breaking the right-hand panel layout.
• Index page: removed a placeholder GitHub link that pointed at a non-existent repository.
• Sitemap regenerated to include every HTML page and to reflect the current review date.
• Robots.txt left untouched — already valid and pointing at the sitemap.

Initial set of visual tools published

The first release of the site shipped with the six visual tools that still anchor it.

• AI Code Typer (/hacker-typer.html)
• Matrix Rain (/matrix-rain.html)
• Cyber Attack Map (/cyber-attack-map.html)
• Fake Hacker Terminal (/fake-terminal.html)
• Sci-Fi Tech Dashboard (/tech-dashboard.html)
• Glitch Text Generator (/glitch-text.html)

The home page also shipped with a small set of utility scripts (Bash, Python, PowerShell) for common developer one-liners. Those are still available from the scripts section of the home page.
