Installation

Download the correct package from github releases section. and start using it :D. more ways to installing are coming soon.

Features

Entire project is a webapp (not electron, read below). it uses monaco editor as text editor everywhere. so if you use vs-code then all the keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl-F or Ctrl-X will work just fine. or even opening vscode command menu to perform complicated operations like format or set language etc rest of the features are pretty straightforward.

DevTools-X comes with following features (with demo video):

Image Compressor with preview

image.mp4

Rest API

rest.mp4

React live playground (without a server)

react.mp4

Color picker and converter

Tech Stack

It's very important for everyone to understand this section. People have choices, just like me. Some of you may not use a tool just because it's electron. and the hate is justifiable. I personally don't want to run a chrome + nodejs for every app I launch

Which is why devtool-x is NOT WRITTEN IN ELECTRON

Devtools-X uses native webview to achieve the desktop application, called as Tauri. native webview gives me development speed of electron (react+ts) while being secure and low on ram, and staying cross platform at the same time.

UI uses React + TS + Mantine Backend is Rust

FAQ

Whats up with the bad looking UI

It was even worse before. I am not a UI developer, I understand react but not colors. feel free to contribute

Do I need to know rust to get started?

Absolutely not. I don't know rust myself and I have a complete application created from scratch.

NEED HELP IN:

• More features
• Testing
• Can logo be improved?
• Regex Tester is kinda broken, monaco gives headache
• Fix ALL FIXME: s and TODO: s
• a db integration for storing configuration? optional
• Security. Check CSP and fix the worker loading
• Stress testing especially hashers and image compressor
