Today, I’m excited to introduce utils.techformist.com – a collection of client-side web utilities designed to make developers’ lives easier. Built with speed, simplicity, and privacy in mind, this tool suite aims to be your go-to resource for common development tasks.

The app is client-side only - no database or server processing.

Why Client-Side Only?

The decision to make util.techformist.com entirely client-side was deliberate:

Building the site was straightforward with Nuxt’s module system and NuxtUI’s component library. The development workflow included:

1. Setting up a Nuxt 3 project with the content and UI modules
2. Creating a consistent layout and navigation system
3. Implementing individual utility components
4. Ensuring responsive design with Tailwind
5. Optimizing for performance

The entire project required no backend infrastructure, making deployment simple through static site hosting.
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
