1. Tailwind Grid Generator

I find it much easier and faster to draw up grid layouts with a UI rather than writing code. I didn’t like existing generators, so I decided to make my own.
Originally, I dreamed of building a full drag-and-drop website builder. The idea of dragging and dropping together a simple site that could be exported always appealed to me. But after playing around a bit, I realized it’s a massive undertaking, so I decided to settle with a grid generator.
2. CSS Grid Generator

After Tailwind Generator got popular, I made the same thing for CSS because all the code was already there.
3. SVG Converter

I needed to convert illustrations to SVG but couldn’t find a free tool that lets you adjust colors. Everything else was either paid or gave messy results.
At first, my friend and I set out to create a product out of it—an image-to-SVG converter. But after building the first over-engineered MVP, we really struggled with the color selection aspect and the project got a bit abandoned. So again, like with the first project, instead of letting it die, I made a simpler free version.
All three are free, no signup required 🙂
If you want to hear what I make next, feel free to follow me on Twitter/X
I share there when I’ve built something new. Currently working on Ilus AI
What tools do you wish existed?
