Twenty tools live — qr-code, qr-decode, lorem, slug join the catalog
The /tools catalog crosses twenty utilities with four additions this week. Every tool ships zero-tracking, browser-only computation, and a permanent /about page that explains the why and the edge cases.

The /tools catalog reached twenty live utilities this week. Four new
tools landed in a single batch: a QR-code generator, a QR-code decoder,
a Lorem-ipsum generator, and a slug builder.
What's new
/tools/qr-code— generate a QR code from any text or URL. Error correction level, size, and margin are all adjustable./tools/qr-decode— decode a QR-code image client-side. Drop a PNG/JPG/WebP onto the page, get the payload./tools/lorem— Lorem ipsum generator with paragraph, sentence, and word modes. Seeded so the output is repeatable./tools/slug— URL-safe slug builder with multiple separator and casing options.
House rules carry over
Every new tool ships with:
- A
/aboutpage with the same explainer-first layout the Constitution requires. - A
Related toolsfooter pointing at 3–5 siblings. - Zero tracking — every byte of computation happens in the browser.
- An inline privacy note on the tool page itself.
Why this milestone matters
Twenty tools is the smallest catalog where the "search for the tool you
need" pattern starts to outperform the "browse the grid" pattern. The
search affordance on /tools and the related-tools footer on each
/about page are both designed for that crossover.
