Site launches, infrastructure shifts, and meaningful catalog updates. Most recent first.
Tool-level edits (typo fixes, FAQ wording tweaks, link repairs) are not listed individually.
Feature-level changes are. The catalog is also tracked in the RSS feed.
Installable app, an AI content library, and guided paths
glunty is now an installable, offline app: a service worker caches visited pages, an Install button appears where supported, and a command palette (Ctrl or Cmd K) searches everything. Save tools with the star and see them, plus recently used, on the homepage.
AI tool cheat sheets grew to 15 searchable guides (added Gemini and Udio), each with an operator recipe and a failure-modes table on the top guides. Four new guided paths chain several tools into one outcome: make a music video, a product poster, a research brief, and shipping a dev feature.
The AI prompt library doubled to 14 copy-paste packs, adding practical life-admin packs (work emails, refund and tenant and medical-bill and small-claims letters) with clear not-advice boundaries.
New Beautify a Screenshot tool: drop a screenshot onto a gradient with padding, rounded corners, and a shadow, entirely in your browser.
New /new page lists the latest additions, alongside the RSS feed, so readers and crawlers can find fresh pages fast.
12 developer cheat sheets, a cheat-sheet hub, and ads live
Added 12 searchable developer cheat sheets: regex, git, bash, SQL, crontab, Markdown, Docker, CSS Flexbox, JavaScript array methods, HTTP headers, curl, and Vim. Each is filterable by keyword and category, runs entirely in your browser, and cross-links to the matching interactive tool.
New /cheatsheets hub page collects all twelve in one place with a searchable index and structured data.
Ads are now serving: the below-the-content display unit plus a content-recommendation unit on guide pages are wired to live AdSense slots.
Google and Bing site-verification tags are wired for Search Console, and new pages are submitted to IndexNow for fast indexing.
Catalog grows to 105 tools, plus discoverability upgrades
The catalog more than doubled to 105 browser tools. New additions include everyday calculators (percentage, tip, discount, loan, sales tax, compound interest, BMI, age, date difference, statistics, GPA, pace, and more), unit converters (length, weight, temperature, number base, fraction to decimal), text utilities (sort and dedupe, find and replace, reverse text, word frequency, remove line breaks), developer tools (regex tester, cron next run, JSON to XML, credit card Luhn check, color contrast checker, CSS gradient generator, meta tag generator, UTM builder), and reference tools (emoji picker with 470+ emoji, and more lookups).
llms.txt is now generated from the catalog, so AI assistants and answer engines always see every current tool.
New and updated pages are submitted to IndexNow so search engines index them within hours.
23 new tools, two new categories, and QR code generator
Catalog expanded from 40 to 63 tools. New: QR code generator (URL, WiFi, and vCard; PNG and SVG), Unix timestamp converter, text diff checker, word and character counter, password and token generator, case converter, JSON to YAML, regex tester, crontab builder, SQL formatter, CSV to JSON, Markdown to HTML, lorem ipsum generator, slugify, number base converter, bcrypt hash and verify, XML formatter, and URL parser.
Two new categories: Text tools (counter, diff, case, slugify, lorem ipsum) and Reference (HTTP status codes, MIME types, ASCII table, JavaScript keycodes, chmod calculator).
Five tools use small MIT or BSD licensed libraries vendored locally and bundled per page, with no CDN: QR, bcrypt, JSON to YAML, SQL formatter, and Markdown to HTML.
llms.txt updated so AI assistants can surface the new tools.
Ads: Google AdSense enabled below the fold; brand copy updated for honesty
Site is now ad-supported: a single Google AdSense display unit renders below the tool on tool pages, the homepage, and blog posts. No above-fold, anchor, vignette, or in-content ads.
Ads are suppressed in embed mode (?embed=1): a tool embedded on a third-party site shows no ad and makes no ad request.
AdSense loader is injected client-side and skipped for embeds; the ad wiring is centralized in src/lib/ads.ts.
ads.txt published at the site root authorizing Google as a direct seller.
Brand copy updated to reflect the ad-supported model: homepage, about, and press kit no longer claim zero trackers.
Privacy policy updated (section 4 cookies and advertising, section 7 data sharing, section 9 California rights) with Google AdSense disclosure and opt-out links.
Phase A-F: SEO hardening, embed, cite, search, press kit, and homepage polish
Title and meta-description audit script (scripts/check-meta.mjs) wired as npm postbuild.
WebSite schema with SearchAction on homepage; powers Google sitelinks search box.
Site-wide share button: navigator.share on mobile, copy-link on desktop. Hidden on legal pages.
Open Graph and Twitter Card enrichment site-wide: og:site_name, og:locale, og:image:alt, theme-color.
Sitemap config gains lastmod, priority, and changefreq per page-class.
RSS feed at /feed.xml lists all tools by category. Auto-discovery via <link rel=alternate>.
Tool catalog refactored to single source of truth at src/data/tools.ts.
Five new category pages at /tools/<slug> (encoders, generators, image, calculators, AI). Each with a 200-250 word editorial intro and CollectionPage + ItemList JSON-LD.
Embed-this-tool widget on every tool page: copy-paste iframe snippet. ?embed=1 strips chrome via synchronous head script (no FOUC). Iframe carries a real backlink to the canonical URL.
Per-tool OG images: 40 SVGs generated at build time via /og/<slug>.svg endpoint. Each includes the tool title, description, category, AI flag.
On-site tool search at /tools?q= with URL sync (history.replaceState).
Footer enriched: 4-column responsive grid with brand block, catalog, site, and feeds columns.
Helpful 404 page with search box, 6 featured tools, and navigation links.
Cite-this-tool widget on every tool page: URL, Markdown, BibTeX, APA 7, MLA 9 with copy button.
