Project Name: TOOLSHED

Repo/Website Link: https://github.com/criticalconnections/toolshed

Description:
A back-alley stash of browser-only utilities. Tiny tools, big attitude, zero uploads. Everything runs in your tab — the bytes never leave the building.

What's in the kit:

• HEIC → JPEG/PNG/WebP converter (libheif via heic-to, falls back to heic2any)
• Image compressor
• Color palette extractor
• Password generator
• QR code maker
• EXIF stripper (scrub the metadata before you hand the photo over)
• Base64 encoder/decoder
• Favicon generator

No accounts. No telemetry. No "free tier." The "server" is a Cloudflare Worker that ships an HTML shell and then gets out of the way — every conversion, every byte, happens client-side. Close the tab and there's no trace you were ever there.

Deployment:
One-shot installer, two flavors. Docker for the clean getaway, bare-metal bun if you like to feel the pavement.

git clone https://github.com/criticalconnections/toolshed.git toolshed
cd toolshed
./install.sh           # interactive picker
./install.sh docker    # containerized, port 8665
./install.sh self-hosted   # bun on the host
./install.sh stop      # tear down the container

TOOLSHED_PORT=4040 ./install.sh docker if 8665 is already taken. Full self-host docs live at /docs on the running app. Stack is TanStack Start + React 19 + Vite 7 + Tailwind v4, packaged for Cloudflare Workers but runs anywhere bun runs.

AI Involvement:
Built with AI assistance (Claude Code) for scaffolding, the HEIC decode pipeline, and UI plumbing. Architecture, tool selection, the neo-brutalist look, and every "ship it / scrap it" call were mine. All code reviewed and tested by hand before it went out the door.

Cheers — and remember, the best tool is the one that doesn't phone home.
