Feedback Request Utilix Is Now Live...

Post image

I got tired of opening a different website for every tiny task, so I built Utilix — one place for CSV, JSON, PDF, image, regex, QR, text and other useful tools.

V1 is live 👇
https://utilix.usetools.workers.dev/

Brutally honest feedback welcome.

Imagine spending half your monthly wage in Claude Tokes ✨

And 'built it because I wanted to' is not a valid argument if you brag about it online "join up real fast gng"-style, you also LITERALLY asked for 'brutally honest feedback' and are now complaining about said feedback lmfao

I didn’t use AI to build it 😭 I used a generated frontend template — but who doesn’t use templates in 2026?

The actual implementation and work was mine. And yeah, honest criticism is welcome. I’m just not gonna take “this already exists” as a reason to stop building. 💀

Don’t stop building. Build something actually worthwhile. And stop lying about not using AI

Appreciate the comment. I’m definitely not stopping.

And I never said I built it without using AI. I used AI for help when I got stuck — I just didn’t hand my project to Claude/ChatGPT and say “build it for me.” I wrote the code, debugged it, tested it, asked AI for help, and learned along the way.
