Show HN: String Flux – Simplify everyday string transformations for developers

https://stringflux.io
16•eaglepeak•8mo ago
I built https://stringflux.io/ to make everyday string transformations a little less painful. It’s similar to CyberChef in the sense that it supports multiple string operations, but with a cleaner, more focused UI and smart suggestions based on your input.

You can also chain transformations — for example: decode base64 string which was base64 encoded from minified json → then json format (pretty-print) it — all in one flow. This is helpful when dealing with complex or nested strings, like encoded API responses or log data, where you need to apply multiple steps to make the content readable.

The idea came from the frustration of jumping between different tools just to handle common string tasks.

There’s a short GIF demo in the GitHub README: https://github.com/stringflux/stringflux

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I thought this would be a useful library and I was curious what platforms it supported.
eaglepeak•8mo ago
thanks! I'll gather feedbacks and see how to expand this besides a website. please let me know if there's any platform that you'd like to use it.
phoronixrly•8mo ago
Wow, this is one step away from a free online password quality verifier!
eaglepeak•8mo ago
thanks! can I know more about the use case of password qulity verifier? would like to see how to support it in String Flux.

I didn't find code in the github for a self hosting option. From security standpoint it is not a good idea to paste Strings in someone's website & share sensitive/protected data. Self hosting would be a good option.
eaglepeak•8mo ago
thanks for the feedback! you're right. the github repo is served as issue tracker. All transformations happen on client side. Unless user creates share link, user's transformation data is not sent to server. I'll explore other options like chrome extension or integrate with some IDEs
eaglepeak•8mo ago
I should have mentioned that all transformations run purely on the client side for speed and privacy. If you want to share a result with others, you can generate a shareable link, which stores the transformation flow in the backend. A shared example here: https://stringflux.io/?s=qzUAxXvv
