What's new

v2.37.02026-10-18

SlashBar opens instantly, and 23 more tools

• Tapping ⚡ Slash no longer shows a loading screen. The launcher used to count every category by walking the 5.4 MB command catalogue, so it had to be loaded on demand and you saw 'Loading SlashBar…' while your phone parsed it. Those counts are now generated ahead of time (script: generate-slashbar-counts, file: slashbar-counts.ts) and the launcher ships with the shell, so the overlay appears in the same frame as the tap
• Links preload on intent — pointing at or touching a SlashKit now fetches that page's code before you let go, so opening a tool lands on the tool instead of a pause
• SlashKits grows from 312 to 335 tools. New in the browser toolkit: Curly Quotes, Markdown to Plain Text, Split Into Chunks, Repeat Text, JSON Path Explorer, JSON Schema Generator, curl to fetch, .env to JSON, Number Base Converter (exact BigInt maths, so long IDs keep every digit), Markdown Table to CSV, HMAC Signature, Basic Auth Header, Data URI Encoder, Password Strength (entropy plus a real brute-force time), px to rem, Colour Mixer, CSS Specificity, UTM Campaign Builder, SEO Title Audit, HTTP Status Codes, Date in Every Timezone, Duration Formatter and the ULID Generator
• Every one of them runs entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded, and each has a real sample that runs the moment the page opens
• A new check (`bun run tools:smoke`) runs all 153 declarative tools against their own samples and fails if any of them is missing an implementation or returns nothing — the whole family is verified in one command
• The retired loading-screen and finder components are gone, and the SlashBar launcher header now reports the real number of indexed rows

v2.36.12026-10-10

Search pages stopped freezing

• Fixed the freeze that made /search, /find and /tools/finder unusable. The client rendered a whole second document - <html>, <head> and <body> - inside its own #root container, so the browser's selectionchange event (fired the instant a search box takes focus) sent React's event system into an endless walk at 100% CPU. The browser now renders only the page content, and React 19 keeps hoisting each page's title and meta tags into <head> as before
• Every search box is focused again on arrival, and typing, suggestions and the results grid all respond immediately
• The pre-paint theme script moved to /theme-init.js, loaded by both the server-rendered shell and the static shell, so the saved theme is applied before the first paint
• Unrelated network failures - a blocked quote feed, a web font, a missing image - are no longer mistaken for a stale app bundle, so the site no longer wipes its caches and reloads over them

v2.36.02026-09-24

Eleven tools for the things nobody builds a tool for

• SlashKits gains eleven tools aimed at the money, time and family conversations people actually have — and that every other tool site skips because they are not clean calculator problems
• Raise Negotiator: your gap to the median and P75 pay for your role, what inflation has quietly taken from your salary, what replacing you would cost your employer, and a five-beat script for the conversation itself
• Local Price Parity: the same product priced across countries and corrected for purchasing power, so you can see whether 'cheaper here' is real or just a different currency
• Other People's Money: group trip and shared-household expenses with expense/lend tagging and the minimum number of transfers to settle everyone
• Living Contribution Splitter: couples split costs proportional to take-home income, with a check against the 30%-of-income comfort line and the words for the money conversation
• Inheritance Talk Prep: readiness-tested openers for the family estate conversation, a documents checklist scored on all eight items, and the tension points that turn into disputes
• Deadline Honesty: a deadline planner built from the hours you actually have each day and a real planning fudge factor — if there is not enough time it says 'start tonight' instead of inventing a plan that fails on day two
• Time Left: your remaining time in summers, weekends and football seasons, from published actuarial tables — ranges, never a death date
• Phone Reality Check turns screen time into years of your life, kilometres of thumb-scroll and what an hour a day back would buy you in books and languages
• Pet Log: one-tap feeding, walk and medicine logging for a shared household device, with overdue warnings — long-press to undo a pocket tap
• Speech Rehearsal: read your speech aloud and get pace against the 130–150 wpm sweet spot, per-paragraph timing and filler-word counts where the browser supports on-device recognition
• WiFi QR: guests scan and join — no spelling a 24-character password, and it generates fully offline
• Every tool runs entirely in your browser, says what it does and keeps your numbers on your device — the catalogue is now 310 tools

v2.34.02026-09-21

Search visibility: a real icon, honest counts, every page in the sitemap

• Fixed the blank icon in Google results. The site shipped a 64px and a 32px favicon and no /favicon.ico at all — Google ignores both of those, because it needs a square icon that is a multiple of 48px. There is now a real 16/32/48 favicon.ico plus 48px and 96px PNGs, linked on every page
• Every tool page is in the sitemap now. The 160 hand-built tools (BMI, EMI, cron, colour picker and the rest) were missing from it entirely, which took sitemap.xml from 518 to 677 URLs
• Titles and search snippets quote the real catalogue totals — 5,704 commands, 289 tools, 91 games, 138 glossary terms — instead of stale guesses like '5,000+', '150+' and '560+'. The numbers are generated from the data, so they cannot drift out of date again
• Removed an invalid search-box block from the structured data: it pointed Google at a page the site itself tells it not to crawl
• The share card image reads those same live counts, and the sitemap now regenerates on every build instead of only when somebody remembered to run it

v2.33.02026-09-21

Quality pass: real games and real tools replace the filler

• Removed the 1,000+ generated converter kits and the 500 auto-chunked game packs. They inflated the counts without earning a place, so they are gone
• Commands trimmed back to the curated catalogue — the platform-variant padding is out, leaving 5,700 hand-picked commands across 45 categories
• Six real sports games: Table Tennis (top-down table, 11-point scoring, spin), Air Hockey, Penalty Shootout (five each way, you shoot then you keep), Darts (a true 501 board with trebles, doubles and busts), Basketball (60-second shootout) and Bowling (ten frames with real strike and spare scoring)
• Six new brain boosters: Sudoku (generated in your browser, guaranteed single solution, four difficulties), Nonogram (11 hand-drawn pictures with real run-length clues), Sliding Puzzle (8/15/24, always solvable), Mastermind, Tower of Hanoi, a 12-theme Word Search and Word Scramble
• New SlashKits toolkit: 130 honest tools at /tools/<name> — text and case utilities, JSON/CSV/regex/diff, SHA hashing, Base64/URL/HTML/hex/binary/Morse/Unicode encoding, colour conversion and CSS generators, date maths, meta tags and sitemaps, passwords and passphrases
• Where a new tool would have duplicated an existing one (JSON formatter, CSV to JSON, JWT decoder, UUID generator, word frequency), it was dropped rather than shipped twice
• Every new tool runs fully in the browser and says what it does — no uploads, no accounts, no unit-converter permutations

v2.32.02026-09-20

The big content wave: 10k commands, 500 games, 1,100 kits

• The command library doubles past 10,000, with whole new wings for social media creators (reels, carousels, CapCut-style editing), image enhancement, vibe coding, students (boards, JEE, NEET, placements), corporate work and kids
• SlashPlay jumps to 560+ games: hundreds of new quiz packs (capitals, flags, currencies, science, cricket, movies), word packs (scramble, hangman, spelling, opposites), memory boards, emoji puzzles and would-you-rather decks — every pack fully playable, most kid-friendly
• New Daily 8-Puzzle: a fresh sliding challenge every day, plus Sliding Numbers up to 5×5
• Kids Corner groups the gentle stuff in one place, and 'Take me somewhere fun' flings you to the best of the useless web — each site explained before you click
• SlashKits gains 1,000+ instant kits: every unit-pair converter you can think of, the full periodic table as fact pages, Indian state guides, world currencies, times tables and squares up to 20, copyable cheat sheets (git, Excel, flexbox, Hindi alphabet, VS Code), and a curated directory of free web tools with honest explanations
• Today's puzzle banner on SlashPlay rotates through every pack, once a day, forever

v2.30.02026-09-18

Two new courses, a regex trainer and smarter everyday tools

• Two new courses on /learn: AI for Study & Research (study plans, quizzes, honest summaries, academic integrity) and Build a Real Website (HTML, CSS flexbox, shipping free to a live URL) — both with real lessons and graded module tests
• Learning paths updated: the AI Beginner and Developer paths now sequence the new courses, taking the catalogue to 5 courses · 24 lessons · 37 test questions
• The Regex Playground now teaches: a 5-challenge Regex Trainer with hints and a personal best, plus a tappable cheat sheet that inserts syntax into your pattern
• SEO Meta Tag Generator: live Google search preview, WhatsApp/X-style social card preview, character counters against the 60/155 limits, and a checks list that explains what to fix
• URL Encoder/Decoder breaks any link into origin, path and a query-parameter table with encoded-value flags — paste a share link to see exactly what it carries
• Percentage Calculator shows the worked line behind every answer, with quick chips for 18% GST, 5% GST, 10% tips and 50% off

v2.29.02026-09-18

The site updates itself again

• Fixed the reason nothing refreshed for weeks: every scheduled job was failing to push because its GitHub token was read-only, so daily news, deals, quotes and the weekly trending lists silently stopped updating. They commit cleanly now
• Trending tools are real tools again — Product Hunt's feed is Atom rather than RSS and was parsing to zero items, and two Hacker News articles about Nvidia were being listed as tools
• New Live tab on /trending: today's AI headlines, trending prompt libraries, and a quote plus artwork of the day, all refreshed automatically
• Gathering jobs now refuse to overwrite good data with an empty result, so a source going down can no longer blank a page

v2.28.02026-09-18

Guided commands, smarter browsing, a deeper cricket game

• Every command now shows a difficulty badge (🟢 Beginner / 🟡 Intermediate / 🔴 Advanced) worked out from its placeholders, plus a 4-step 'How to use this command' guide that opens for first-time visitors and collapses afterwards
• One-tap 'Try in ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude' buttons copy the command and open the assistant for you; the command detail page also links to 'You might also like' and a one-tap 'Something wrong? Report it'
• SlashKits: a 'Just added' shelf for new tools, 🆕 New and 🔥 Popular badges, a '🔒 Runs in your browser · Nothing uploaded' trust line on every card, and a 'How to use / Similar tools' block on every tool page
• SlashPlay: session length and difficulty on every game card (⏱ 2 min · 🎯 Easy), a 'Surprise me' random-game button, a New Games row and your personal best shown right on the card
• Slash Courses: 4 structured learning paths (AI, Developer, Creator, Career), topic filters, hour estimates and progress tracking that remembers what you have started
• Discover now opens with 'Start Here' — pick student, professional or developer and jump straight to the right hub
• New floating 'copy the last command again' pill (fades after 30s) and a back-to-top button that appears once you scroll
• Cricket got a real upgrade: 4 formats (Blitz 12, Solo 24, Chase AI, 2P duel), a share-your-score button, a beat-your-best challenge, and physics that run at the same speed on 60Hz and 120Hz screens
• HTML Compiler ships 14 ready-made starter projects — landing page, portfolio, pricing table, to-do app, gallery, login, dashboard, countdown, quiz, clock, navbar, particles and more. Load one, preview it, edit it and download a single .html file
• The homepage suggests 4 things 'You might like' once you have browsed a little — based only on your own device
