itsharex / devtools-x

Collection of offline first developer utilities available as desktop application. all in one place, cross-platform!

DEVTOOLS-X

devutils is macOS-only, and devtoys is Windows-only.
So here's DevTools-X -- an x-platform collection of dev-tools that is lighter, safer, and full of feature rich (currenltly 32 modules and growing) development utilities.

Note: Application is under development, expect some bugs.

In any case if the app doesn't render/load anything, just delete the file if exists or create settings.json if doesn't exist at: https://docs.rs/tauri/latest/tauri/api/path/fn.data_dir.html

Tech Stack

DevTools-X is NOT WRITTEN IN ELECTRON.

Client: React, Mantine

Backend: Rust

That should be enough to tell you it's built on top of Tauri, So we get best of the both worlds: Web + Rust. Web to create beautiful cross-platform UI, Rust to create fast and small applications. Tauri bundle is super small, about 10MB of installer.

FAQ

Migrate settings?

There's a backup/restore feature available in settings drawer. you can backup manually as well, copy settings.json from appDir

App is not starting/showing empty screen

Most likely your db is corrupt. delete settings.json file in your appDir. Create a issue if you can't find it.

I do not like the order of modules

All module can be rearranged with drag-n-drop. order is saved in a local db. you can edit this file manually as well, it's a simple json file.

Do I need to know Rust to get started?

Absolutely not. Many modules are written in pure JS, rust is only needed for performance and security sensitive features like calculating hash or compressing image etc.

NEED HELP WITH:

• More features
• Testing
• Can the logo be improved?
• Regex Tester is kinda broken, monaco gives a headache
• Fix ALL FIXME: s and TODO: s
