Hello internet,
Excited to share https://url.computer/, a simple client-side developer tool that helps parse and edit URLs and build cURL queries.
It's meant to be a lightweight Postman alternative that's 100% private and client side, and makes both editing and saving URLs easy.
OMG it's got features & stuff:
- Easily parse and live-edit URLs.
- Build cURL queries with headers, JSON body, flags, whatever.
- 100% client side, no accounts, nothing is sent to any server.
- Local app state is saved to the URL #fragment creating shareable links.
- Save states to local storage.
- Import a URL directly by pasting it in: https://url.computer/google.com
- Automatically clean up URL query args: url.computer/clean/cool-thing-i-found.com?oh-no-a-tracking-id=omgwtf
- It's a nice shade of blue.
I made this to make my life easier working on long, complex, and usually ephemeral dev URLs.
Use cases:
- Edit or replace a single query or piece of a long URL that's annoying to parse yourself.
- Save a dev or staging URL you're working on and need to keep reloading.
- Save a sample API query, including the cURL stuff to ping it, and share it with a coworker.
- Paste an inscrutable url somewhere for your own reasons: https://url.computer/#N4IgrgTgNiBcIAsAuSAOBnWB6LSCmAdngIYRILoLEp4QCWBA5gEZQD2A7ugHQDGbAWyyleCOgDc86LPwF1eWAIwAPAAyKQAGhC9IMWKAF5ybACZwQAcQCiAFS2ISp2ujjAAvtuZmAnhYdsqEh0bASusADaALru7kA===
- Enjoy the nice shade of blue & the fact that .computer is a valid TLD.

Hope y'all find it useful!
