| want to just enter their payload hit tab and enter and get their
| result... As mentioned this is a small detail, great work
| overall!

| Excellent work! Simple, searchable, well documented. The tiniest

| All tools are listed on front page in alphabetical order.

| The danger is, sometimes it just creates completely wrong

| Nice work! Bookmarked. Any plans to add openssl tools? I keep

| most frequent questions on StackOverflow had a "kody tool"
| answer. I'm saying this because I think many conceivably could.
| accrual wrote:
| Since creating TLS certificates involves also creating a

| moglito wrote:
| That depends on the intended application of those
| certificates. I was only thinking of local development with
| self-signed certificates that would never be used in
| production. But yes, I see your point. Some users may not
| realize the security risk when using an online tool like this
| and use it for production certificates as well.

| This is great. I really like the idea of gathering a bunch of

| Not a web dev though. Kody, could you talk a bit about what
| libraries or framework you used for the front end here?

| ge96 wrote:
