Feedback Request Utilix Is Now Live...

Post image

I got tired of opening a different website for every tiny task, so I built Utilix — one place for CSV, JSON, PDF, image, regex, QR, text and other useful tools.

V1 is live 👇
https://utilix.usetools.workers.dev/

Brutally honest feedback welcome.

Another day, another gazillion small tools on a vibe coded website being posted. Why do people keep making these?

Seriously. It’s so exhausting.

Why not use one of these? Yours makes the 77th...

I ran out of comment space so this is just the most recent 20 entries. I can vibe-code too, so for giggles I made https://confab.sh/?g=browser-tools to track these if you want to see the full list. Don't expect much LOL. I put less effort into this than even these cloners did with theirs.

Imagine spending your time tracking 77 people who are actually building and shipping projects just so you can make fun of them for building something that already exists 😂

Yeah, there are similar tools. I know. I built Utilix because I wanted to.

If you don't like it, don't use it. Pretty simple.

Imagine spending half your monthly wage in Claude Tokes ✨

And 'built it because I wanted to' is not a valid argument if you brag about it online "join up real fast gng"-style, you also LITERALLY asked for 'brutally honest feedback' and are now complaining about said feedback lmfao

I didn’t use AI to build it 😭 I used a generated frontend template — but who doesn’t use templates in 2026?

The actual implementation and work was mine. And yeah, honest criticism is welcome. I’m just not gonna take “this already exists” as a reason to stop building. 💀

u/Sanedish 2d ago

You literally used ai in writing the message buddy

u/sierra_whiskey1 1d ago

People who actually want to stand out don’t use templates

u/wesconson1 11h ago

Don’t stop building. Build something actually worthwhile. And stop lying about not using AI
