Devlog 2 - Four more tools and search

DevBox grew up a bit this round. It went from three tools to seven, and the sidebar finally got a search box.

The new ones: Regex tester, Timestamp converter, Color converter, and Text Case. The Regex one is my favorite - it highlights matches live as you type and counts them, with the g/i/m flags as little checkboxes. Timestamp figures out on its own whether you handed it seconds or milliseconds. Color swaps between HEX, RGB and HSL and shows a swatch. Text Case turns whatever you type into camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case and the rest.

Now that the list was getting longer, I added a search box up top - just start typing to filter, or hit Ctrl+K to jump straight to it.

The fiddly bits were the small edge cases. Regex with something like \d* used to duplicate the text in the preview, and the case converter choked on acronyms like parseHTTPRequest. Both fixed now. Boring stuff, but it’s the difference between a toy and something you actually trust.

Next up: a hash generator, and making the whole thing work offline as an installable app.
