Text

The small text jobs that interrupt real work: comparing two versions of a paragraph, changing case across a list, removing duplicate or blank lines, counting words against a limit, turning a title into a URL slug, escaping a string for the language it has to live in, and running a find-and-replace with a regular expression.

There are also the conversions that are half curiosity and half debugging — text to binary, hex or Morse — and a Markdown editor with live preview.

When two strings look identical and refuse to match, the answer is usually a character you cannot see: a zero-width space pasted from a web page, a non-breaking space, or a Cyrillic letter that looks exactly like its Latin twin. Inspecting a string character by character — code point, name, script and bytes — is the only way to find those. Nothing here needs an account or an upload, and the text stays in the page.

There is also the question of whether anyone can read what you wrote. Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch–Kincaid, Gunning Fog and SMOG each put a number on it, and the useful part is not the score but the sentences dragging it down, which are usually two ideas that should have been two sentences.

Markdown tables get their own tool, because writing one by hand is miserable and every editor that offers help offers a different kind. Build it in a grid, or paste CSV or cells straight out of a spreadsheet, then align, sort and reorder before copying it back out.

Text copied out of a chatbot needs a clean of its own: the invisible characters and narrow no-break spaces it carries, its em dashes and curly quotes, the Markdown that shows up as asterisks once pasted somewhere plain, and the citation markers and utm_source tags on its links — each counted and each optional, with code blocks and the joiners that spell Indic and Arabic scripts left alone.

And one for when text should be seen from across the room: a word or two drawn as a big banner in characters, in blocks, a shadow, hashes or the letters themselves, and wrapped in a code comment for the top of a source file.

A long page can have the start of every word set in bold, a reading aid some people find keeps their place, then copied as formatted text, HTML, Markdown or Unicode bold.

Two lists can be compared as sets: what is in both, in either, only in one, or in one but not both, with case and stray spaces ignored if wanted, and the result sorted and copied.
