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/#N4IgrgTgNiBcIAsAuSAOBnWB6LSCmAdngIYRIL...
* Enjoy the nice shade of blue & the fact that .computer is a valid TLD.

Hope y'all find it useful!
