Short summary

Author launched CodeUtils, a browser-native alternative to online JSON formatters, arguing that cloud-based tools risk exposing API keys and sensitive data. All 30+ utilities (JSON formatter, JWT decoder, TypeScript generator) run locally via Web APIs with no signup required.

• •Online JSON formatters pose security risk: data sent to remote servers may be logged or repurposed
• •CodeUtils uses browser-native Web APIs (Web Crypto, Canvas) for local-only computation
• •Offers 30+ free tools including JSON diff, TypeScript generation, and mind mapping
