DevHubTools
A website of free developer tools, relaunching now
DevHubTools is being relaunched at devhubtools.com as a website of free tools for developers' everyday work.
My own product
The problem
A lot of developer work is small: a quick conversion, a check, a one-off task that does not deserve a new install or another account. I wanted one place where those small tools live, free to use, under a name developers can come back to.
What I built
DevHubTools is my own developer-tools brand, and devhubtools.com is being relaunched as a website of free tools for developers. This page describes where the project stands today rather than promising features: I will add the list of tools and how the site is built once the relaunch is live.
The first public version of devhubtools.com was different. It was a small Shopify storefront called "DevHub Tools", with a blog of five posts on developer tools and cloud hosting, a newsletter sign-up and a contact form. It never listed any products. That store has since closed, and the domain stopped serving it. Instead of reopening the store, I am relaunching DevHubTools as a website of free tools you can use straight away.
See it running
A recorded walkthrough of DevHubTools is on the way. Until then, the write-up and the diagram below show how it works.

How it works
The first version was a hosted Shopify Online Store on the Dawn theme. Shopify rendered the pages, served the assets from its CDN and handled the blog, the newsletter field and the contact form, so there was no custom code to show. Its public record is the Wayback Machine.
The relaunched site is a website, not a store. I am not describing its stack or listing tools here until it is live and I can point to what is actually there. There are no user numbers on this page, and there will not be any until I have real ones to show.
DevHubTools Automator, my scaffolding CLI prototype from December 2025, is a separate project with its own page. It shares the name, but it is a command-line tool you run on your own machine, not part of the website.
Status and links
Relaunching. The live link goes to devhubtools.com; if it still shows an error when you click it, the relaunch has not finished rolling out yet. For the related command-line tool, see DevHubTools Automator. There is no public repo for the site.
