How do you deal with weird machine-readable values which you&#x27;d like to make some sense of yourself, like a Unix timestamp or a base64-encoded value? Some Bash nerds do &quot;echo ABASE64ENCODEDVALUE== | base64 --decode&quot; to read the encoded stuff, others hit F12 on whatever web page they happen to be at the moment and type something like &quot;new Date(1582889280 * 1000)&quot; (don&#x27;t forget to x1000 if it&#x27;s seconds!) in console to see dates (Bash nerds have their &quot;date -d @1582889280&quot; for that), the rest google &quot;base64 decode online&quot; and use some random web tool.<p>So, this is another random web tool for those tasks and few others. At the moment it helps with URLs (parses &amp; transcodes query values), JSONs (formats &amp; converts them to YAML), Base64 transcoding (including files!), has few crypto functions and, of course, a timestamp converter. There are plans to add a CSV&lt;-&gt;JSON converter, a JSON transformer&#x2F;mapper, a JWT parser&#x2F;validator, probably a HMAC tool and more.<p>And the main feature, so rarely found in developer tools, is it&#x27;s UI. Unlike all the similar tools out in the web, which look like they have been designed by professional programmers, this one is made by a professional programmer who used to date a professional UX designer, so it has both smooth operations &amp; neat looks. There are hotkeys (not many at the moment, but I&#x27;m aiming at having full keyboard control over the thing eventually), a sharing feature and data reuse across tools.<p>We, backend developers, deserve to have nice things too. Give it a shot, I hope one day it finds it&#x27;s place among your favourite tools.<p><i>&#x2F;!\ Please mind it works only in desktop browsers now. I see not much use for this thing on mobile, but maybe one day a mobile version will follow.</i>
