14 DevTools, Zero npm Packages: Why I Ship Pure HTML Instead of JavaScript

说明与用途

开发者将14个小工具实现为无依赖的单独HTML文件，消除了构建步骤，降低了攻击面，支持离线使用，并保持数据本地化。

问题

Developers often use npm and build tooling for simple utilities, adding unnecessary complexity, dependencies, and security risks.

结果

Pure‑HTML tools eliminate build overhead, reduce attack surface, enable offline use, and keep data local, making them ideal for small, single‑purpose utilities.

工作流

• Create a single HTML file with inline CSS and JavaScript
• Use browser APIs (Web Crypto, FileReader) for functionality
• Host the file on a static server or send via email
• Open the file in a browser to use the tool

证据

Each tool is a single HTML file you can open directly, host on any static server, or even email to a coworker.

Zero dependencies. The only code running is the code you wrote and can read in its entirety.

The JWT you decode, the CSV you convert, the text you hash — it's processed locally and gone.
