Today I'm introducing the most side of side projects I've done in a long time, and I'm calling it Quick Stuff.

Quick Stuff is a place for me to put all of my little projects in one place, and I'm really happy to get it out there. Basically, I want it to have some of the best, easiest, and yes, quickest little utility things out there. I'd previously done this on secret sub-pages on my Quick BIN Lookup site, such as https://quickbinlookup.com/appstore. Now I have a place to put all that random stuff that makes more sense.

Oh, and this is not currently planned to be something that makes money, everything is free to use. I don’t even have analytics on this right now, it’s truly just a playground I made because I like making things.

Here's what's there today.

Quick Timer

This is a simple timer, but I went the extra mile with it by making it so you can close the tab, come back later, and your timer will still be going. If it finishes while you’re away, it will remind you of when it completed when you get back.

Don’t worry, it’s not “running in the background” it’s just a clever use of localStorage

Pomodoro Timer

I’m not super into this work method, but it was easy enough to iterate on the normal timer, so I threw it together. I should study other apps out there and see what features and functions I’m clearly missing.

Pixels Per Degreee

This one is near and dear to my heart: a calculator that lets you check at what distance specific screens become “retina”. Slide the distance all the way to the right to unlock SUPER RETINA!!!!

And yes, the extra e at the end is intentional. You are required to pronounce it “pixels per degreeeeeeee” when saying it out loud.

QR Code Generator

This is pretty basic, but if you need to get a QR cone made in seconds, this will get the job done.

More to come

I have no idea what I’ll try to add next, but whenever I get that random idea that I want to build, it’s going on this site.
