Single-purpose dev utilities for the small text jobs that take 10 minutes to bash out manually. The commit message writer follows Conventional Commits (feat / fix / chore / refactor). The README generator produces hero copy + install + usage sections optimised for GitHub indexing. The regex explainer walks through your pattern token-by-token. The cron-to-English tool tells you exactly when a schedule fires, including edge cases (DST shifts, leap days).
Software Engineering — frequently asked
- How do I write a good commit message?
- Use Conventional Commits: a type prefix (feat, fix, chore, refactor, docs), an optional scope, and a short imperative subject under 72 characters. The Commit Message Writer follows this format.
- What does this regex do?
- Paste the pattern into the Regex Explainer and you get a plain-English walkthrough token-by-token, plus an example match and common edge cases the pattern might trip on.
- What does this cron expression mean?
- The Cron to English tool turns "0 9 * * 1-5" into "every weekday at 9am UTC" with notes on DST shifts and what fires on the 1st of the month.
- Can I use these for a README?
- Yes — the README generator returns hero copy, install steps, usage examples, and a contributing section that scores well in GitHub search and reads like a project people would star.
- How much do these dev tools cost?
- Every dev utility is £1 per use. Cheaper than ChatGPT Plus for one-off tasks; on par with crontab.guru / regex101 in usefulness but with a paste-ready output.
