       Show HN: OmniTools - Self-Hosted Open-Source Swiss Army Knife for
       Everyday Tasks
        
       Hey HN!  I built OmniTools, a self-hosted web app that offers a
       collection of useful tools for everyday tasks. Think PDF
       manipulation,image, text utilities, and more--all in one place.
       Open-source & self-hosted  Works fully in the browser (privacy-
       first)  Built with React, deployed via Docker  I made this because
       I wanted a free, self-hosted alternative to online tools that often
       require subscriptions. Would love feedback & ideas on what to add
       next!  GitHub link: https://github.com/iib0011/omni-tools Demo
       link: https://omnitools.app  Let me know what tools you want next.

       | I do not see many usage for few of those (integer generation) but
       | it is maybe just me.
       | 
       | Would be quite nice to have few dev tools too, like inspecting
       | jwt token i.e. or base 64 decode/encode.

       | Thanks.

       | If it's fully static, then it seems like it could be packaged in
       | a lot of easy to install ways that people would really like.
       | 
       | I don't know how important they are, but the stuff I can think of
       | right now:
       | 
       | Base64, hex, qr codes, ASCII codes, and binary are staples of the
       | "things you do by googling a random tool" genre.
       | 
       | I used a polynomial regression calc online one time, it was very
       | helpful, there's probably some really good easy to integrate
       | equation solver libraries out there.
       | 
       | Unit conversion is always good.
       | 
       | Basic electronics calculators might be nice, areas of geometric
       | shapes, etc are always good.
       | 
       | I wonder if there's some sort of generic calculator schema and
       | already existing data that could auto generate some of those
       | hundreds of trivial things that would be tedious to build
       | individually?
       | 
       | What about expanding into "pocket ref" style data lookup? Like,
       | you give it a list of JSON blobs and a schema, and it gives you a
       | nice table view with unit conversions and search.
       | 
       | People could contribute tables for stuff like "What's the max
       | head diameter for a #6 screw" or "How far apart are these metals
       | on the reactivity series".
       | 
       | If it was all built from a folder of JSON files, people could
       | build custom application specific variants to answer questions.
       | 
       | There's a lot of really cool possibilities here!
