I rebuilt an online developer tools site based on it-tools — looking for feedback

Hi everyone,

I m a developer and long-time user of it-tools. Over time, I started experimenting with some changes and improvements that better fit my own workflow, and that gradually grew into a separate project called next-tools.

Why I started next-tools based on it-tools

next-tools started as a personal extension of it-tools.

I ve been a long-time user of it-tools and really appreciate the idea of having a simple, all-in-one online toolbox for developers.

While using it in daily work, I began experimenting with some changes and improvements that better fit my own needs such as a more modern UI, deeper multilingual support, and incremental refinements to existing tools.

Over time, this experiment grew into next-tools: a fork focused on modern UI, real i18n across all tools, bug fixes, and continuous evolution with new utilities.
