I keep a small list of "boring but essential" tools I reach for multiple times a week - recoloring an SVG icon, minifying some CSS, turning a JSON response into a TypeScript interface, generating a favicon. None of these tasks are hard, but they add friction: sign up for an account, wait for an upload, hope the site isn't tracking your data.

So I've been building I Like Tool - a growing collection of free utilities that run entirely in your browser. No account, no upload, no server round-trip. Your files and text never leave your machine.

Here are a few I think other developers will actually use.

1. SVG Path Editor

This is the one I'm most proud of. A lot of icon libraries (Bootstrap Icons, Font Awesome, etc.) ship an icon as a single <path> combining multiple visual pieces - so you can't recolor just the eyes, or just one arm, without hand-editing raw path data.
