★ 100+ free tools — no sign-up, no limits, forever.
Every tool we've shipped, every feature we've built, and every fix we've deployed — in reverse chronological order.
Replaced 174 pre-generated static PNG files in public/og/ with the og.tools.town Cloudflare Worker API. Every tool, blog post, learn article, and category page now gets a uniquely titled 1200×630 OG card generated on-demand — no build step required.
Full amortisation table, month-by-month principal vs interest breakdown, tenure comparison table, and all use cases for home loans, car loans, personal loans, and education loans. Powered by the same reducing-balance formula as the standard EMI Calculator.
The /embed/[slug] iframe page was missing its global stylesheet import. All embedded tools now render with full 2-column layout, styled inputs, coloured result cards, and the Powered by Tools.Town watermark.
API reference pages for endpoints with authRequired: false now show a green 'No API key required' box instead of a Bearer token code block. Eliminates the misleading auth instructions that appeared for all free endpoints.
npm run tool now supports: --done (rich card view of 100% complete tools with API/embed/learn/blog details), --priority (top 25 incomplete tools sorted by score), --slug <slug> (filter to one tool), --scaffold (boilerplate 6-file generator for a new tool), and --help.
Added playwright.config.ts, e2e/embed.spec.ts (renders all live tool embeds and asserts key UI elements), and e2e/api.spec.ts (checks all API doc pages load and show correct auth info).
Blog post pages upgraded to 3-column layout: table of contents (sticky), article body, and sidebar (author, related tools, quick actions). Adds Article + FAQPage + HowTo JSON-LD, reading progress bar, and social share buttons.
Converts across 8 unit families: length, weight, temperature, area, volume, speed, data, and time. Supports 50+ units. Instant client-side — no API call.
Every tool with an api: block in its MDX now auto-generates a full API reference page at /api/[slug]/ — with endpoint badge, authentication section, request parameters table, 5-language code examples (cURL, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Node.js), example response, and error codes.
Learn articles now have a 3-column layout: sticky scroll-spy TOC on the left, article body in the centre, and a related tools sidebar on the right. Includes Callout, StepFlow, TypeCards, and TwoFASteps MDX components.
Every tool is embeddable via a stripped /embed/[slug]/ page (no header, no footer, no ads). The page sends a tt:height postMessage so host iframes auto-size. Embed code snippets with one-click copy are available on each tool page.
Generates placeholder text by word count, sentence count, or paragraph count. Supports standard Lorem Ipsum and random word mode.
Encodes and decodes URL components and full URLs. Handles Unicode, emoji, and special characters correctly.
Encodes and decodes text to/from Base64 and Base64URL. Handles Unicode via TextEncoder.

Real-time word count, character count (with and without spaces), sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time.
Converts between Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine. Shows all four values simultaneously on input change.
Calculates exact age from date of birth to today (or a custom target date) — in years, months, and days. Also shows the next birthday countdown.
Calculates the discounted price, savings amount, and effective discount percentage. Supports stacked discounts.
Body Mass Index calculator with metric and imperial input. Shows BMI category, healthy weight range, and an interpretation note.
Splits a restaurant bill by tip percentage and number of people. Shows tip per person, total per person, and grand total.
Three calculation modes: X% of Y, X is what % of Y, and percentage change from X to Y. Instant client-side.
Generates MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes of any text input using the Web Crypto API. Runs fully in-browser.
Launched /pricing/ with Free, Starter, and Pro tier comparison. Includes feature table, FAQ accordion, and a testimonials strip.
Deployed tools.town on Cloudflare Pages with global edge caching. Wired UptimeRobot monitoring for uptime alerts and Cloudflare Analytics for error-rate alerting.
Submitted sitemap.xml to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Added structured data (SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, HowTo) to all tool pages.
Added a live search dropdown to the homepage hero. Searches tool names, descriptions, and tags in real time. Supports keyboard navigation (↑↓ arrows, Enter, Escape).
tools.town launched on Astro 5 with Tailwind v4, Cloudflare Pages (static), and Cloudflare Workers (SSR for API docs). All tool islands are React 18 with client:load hydration.
