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.

| Thanks.

|
| 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!
