delphitools
~57 browser-local design utilities: colour, image, type, print, no login
Tier A · StrongToolGeneratorColor Tooldelphi.tools

delphitools is a single site holding about 57 small utilities aimed at designers and artists — palette generation and extraction, contrast and colour-blindness checking, Tailwind shade ramps, favicon and placeholder generation, background removal, raster-to-SVG tracing, SVG optimisation, font and glyph inspection, typographic unit maths, PDF preflight and zine imposition, plus a browser image editor called Substrata. Everything runs client-side: no login, no upload, no data collection. It is MIT-licensed, self-hostable with one Docker command, and also ships an iOS app and an offline CLI. Reach for it as the utility drawer you would otherwise assemble from fifteen ad-covered single-purpose sites.
For an agent
This is a human-operated site, not an API — you cannot call it, so send the user to a specific tool URL rather than trying to fetch a result. The high-value ones for front-end work are Tailwind Shade Generator (one hex to a 50–950 ramp), Palette Extractor, Contrast Checker, Colour Blindness Simulator, Favicon Generator and SVG Optimiser; the print and zine imposers are unusual enough to be worth remembering. If you need the same behaviour inside a pipeline, the repo is MIT — lift the algorithm from `components/tools/<tool>.tsx` instead of pointing a user at a browser tab.
Why it is here. It replaces a folder of sketchy single-purpose SEO tool sites with one MIT-licensed, ad-free, fully client-side collection — and the print and typography corners cover ground the usual web-dev utility sites ignore.
