For developer tools, I noticed that CyberChef [1] wasn't on the list so I submitted it. I regularly use it for<p>- URL encoding/decoding<p>- QR code generation<p>- JSON and XML pretty-printing<p>- Base64 encoding/decoding<p>but it does way more than that.<p>[1] <a href="https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/" rel="nofollow">https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/</a>
Friendly reminder to consider that any and all information supplied to these services may be harvested (with or without knowledge by the creator, depending on how they deploy).<p>Consider using tor or similar to mask your IP, don't upload a scan of your passport to an online image editor, and so on.<p>For tools that provide source, it's often straightforward to run them locally.
Add <a href="https://8mb.video/" rel="nofollow">https://8mb.video/</a> to the list - it does exactly what it says on the tin (and while it doesn't explicitly mention it, its broader purpose is to compress videos down to Discord's file size limit)
I wonder if the tools are also vetted for security. IIRC there was some supply chain attack that had to do with similar no-signup tools injecting SEO scam code (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27427330" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27427330</a>)
Although it's got some nice things listed, the site seems to be missing some of the best tools out there. I recommend Diagrams.net [1] for creating diagrams. I use it as my primary diagramming tool.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.diagrams.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.diagrams.net/</a>
Great idea! I've submitted my side project, <a href="https://siftrss.com/" rel="nofollow">https://siftrss.com/</a>.<p>It lets you add filters to any RSS feed for free in a few seconds. It's great for filtering news, podcasts, and anything else you get via RSS down to just the items you want to see.
If there's no signup and it's free, you have to very wary on what the "trick" is, because nothing is truly free. Most of the potentially useful ones looks like trial with locked features.
A couple of my tools that don't require signup:<p>- Grapher (a visual editor for graph datasets with features like nested nodes, custom attributes on nodes and edges, and export in Cytoscape JSON or SVG format. Accessible at: <a href="https://grapherx.netlify.app/" rel="nofollow">https://grapherx.netlify.app/</a><p>- LearnDB (A curated collection of links to educational resources organized by topics, formats, reviews and other tags).

Semi-related:<p>Ever since moving from Windows to MacOS, I was desperately looking for a replacement for MSPaint for the following use case: "paste an image, crop it properly, crop further, put red bold square box around the interesting part, add some text and arrows".<p>All tools are tried make this way less ergonomic than ol' good MSPaint.<p>Then I remembered this ridiculous idea someone had to port MSPaint to JavaScript:
<a href="https://jspaint.app/" rel="nofollow">https://jspaint.app/</a><p>Hallelujah!
Alternatively, you can use <a href="http://bugmenot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bugmenot.com/</a> (doesn't work that often I must admit)
In case the owner reads this, category filter check boxes are missing IDs which makes the label not associated with them and it can't be used to check/uncheck.
Smort.io doesn't require a signup too! Smort lets you easily annotate and share an article or arXiv paper. Just add Smort.io before any URL to read it in Smort.<p>Demo: <a href="https://smort.io/demo/home" rel="nofollow">https://smort.io/demo/home</a><p>Disclaimer: I built Smort
I would add <a href="https://scrumpoker.app/" rel="nofollow">https://scrumpoker.app/</a> to the list also. Great initiative otherwise, have you considered driving the catalogue through GitHub PRs so the list can stay up to date?
RemoveBG is clearly not free (unless we count one single image) and you need to register (to get that single image). Love the product, but the "to-go" prices are too high imho.
Found <a href="https://www.onelook.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.onelook.com/</a> under writing, looks good for word related lookups.<p>I'd add <a href="https://edit.photo/" rel="nofollow">https://edit.photo/</a> "No popups to close. No ads to ignore. No cookies to accept. No account to create. 100% Free"
Disclaimer: I'm a Co Founder of the service I'm linking.<p>Scraping Fish (<a href="https://scrapingfish.com" rel="nofollow">https://scrapingfish.com</a>) doesn't require a sign up. It <i>is</i> a paid service though. We (obviously) don't sell your data.
I love when the website you land in <i>is</i> the app, with no signup, like tldraw (<a href="https://www.tldraw.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tldraw.com/</a>).
Why I should...<p><pre><code> * Remove a background "online"?
* Write a resume "online"?
* Create an E-mail signature "online"?[1]
* Create a profile picture "online"?
* ...

Operating systems are happily executing programs on your computer, quick, autonomous and reliable. The first in the list which makes sense is Jitsi.<p>Here some personal recommendations:<p><pre><code> * Use GIMP or KRITA
* Use LibreOffice or Latex with moderncv[2] (We're on hackernews, right?)
* Use your E-Mail application and plaintext!
* Again GIMP or use included tools of the application or network (Signal and other provide it)
* For polls you can use often included features of messengers (e.g. reactions in Signal) or non-commercial sites [3]
