Recent updates from the workbench — new projects, posts I wrote, and improvements pushed to this site. The freshest dispatch sits up top.
Added thumbs up / thumbs down ratings to every project card and tool page. Counts persist server-side in Redis; the user's own vote lives in localStorage so the button stays highlighted on return visits.
IP-based rate limit caps abuse at 10 votes per hour. The same widget appears on the projects list and at the bottom of each tool with a “Was this tool useful?” prompt.
Shipped the Excel to JSON Converter — upload any spreadsheet, pick your columns, and export JSON in the shape your target API actually wants. No data leaves the browser.
Indentation is configurable (2 / 4 / tab / minified), and a single-click copy or download lands the result wherever you need it.
Wrote a candid, step-by-step walkthrough of registering a new online business in Cebu, Philippines — DTI, CTO, BIR, the whole circuit. The kind of write-up I wish I'd had on day one.
Covers what to print, where to queue, which forms to bring on which day, and the small things that quietly trip people up (mayor's permit timing, BIR registration sequencing, and the receipts you actually need to keep).
Built the Excel to Deluge Converter for fellow Zoho developers — turns any spreadsheet into a Deluge List or List of Maps you can paste straight into a function.
Pick the columns that should become map keys, name your variable, hit copy. All parsing is browser-side, so client data never leaves the machine.
Released the Password Generator — cryptographically secure random output, configurable length and character classes, with a live strength indicator and one-click copy.
Recently-generated passwords are kept in a session-scoped history so you can recover the one you just clicked away from, then it's gone.
Shipped a URL Generator for assembling URLs with query parameters interactively — encoding handled, history tracked, clipboard one click away.
Pairs nicely with the password generator when you're wiring up a new OAuth handshake and need clean test URLs without hand-encoding ampersands.
Built Boredom Bingo for the Base44 “BIG GAME APP” contest — a bingo card aimed at the half of any Super Bowl audience who'd rather be doing anything else.
Mark off squares like “celebrity in a luxury box” and “truck commercial with a dog,” and tap the What just happened?button for a plain-English explanation of whatever penalty the ref just called.
