Dear HN Readers, We are excited to annouce our new windows desktop application which is a collection of utilities used frequently by designers and developers. The application is inspired by CyberChef (a well known web app) except that it works offline.

We had mini apps that we created over time for our own usage but recently decided to package them together in a Sleek windows app. We hope you might find the tool useful. Currently there are 23 tools and we are trying to add more from what we have.

Looking forward for your feedback Regards, Anshul

But you had 100+ users, so the idea was validated.

Great. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Wow, there we have it, a person who has already implemented this idea a long time back. So what made you shutdown the service? Would you be willing to share your experience?

Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying here about asking people if the problem exists. I can actually connect with that part :).

I actually never thought of that idea as a LinkedIn alternative. Rather one thing that came to my mind when I thought of this was 'Dynamic Resume'.

LinkedIn is not specific to software developers. And besides everything has to be added and updated regularly there "manually".

I was asking about a service that can pull data from GitHub (say the projects the user is actively committing currently), the active jobs on upwork, the reviews the developer got on those websites, and so forth.
