About These Tools
I'm always building and working on updating these tools or making more when a useful idea strikes me. I try not to make anything that I know is out there already, I like to do my own thing. I hope that some of them can fit into your workflow!
You may also be interested in the various helpful free WordPress plugins and themes I've made. In my own opinion, I've made some really good ones that solve for very specific and useful needs.
What's up with the animals? Well, Screaming Frog does it, Xenu did it, so why can't I? God forbid I put a little whimsy in front of you. Besides, all of the animals obviously relate to the tools and concepts shown. The emojis do too, obviously--I know emojis can be a sign of AI writing these days but I promise I just personally like emojis myself.
In my career in online advertising, like many, I have been incalcuably aided by all kinds of free plugins and snippets and bookmarklets and web tools and apps that others have published out of just kindness or a belief in the Open Web. This is my way of returning the favor.
As a legal note, all tools are presented in good faith and I've tried my best to ensure their accuracy, but they are "as-is" and I can't guarantee there's not some made somewhere, I don't know. They certainly work well enough for me to use but I'm not legally liable for any flaws you may find or act on. Just covering my bases here.
If you do find a bug, or if you just want to say thanks, I hope you email me! I would honestly really love to hear if one of these helped you and how it worked for you, if it's useful, if I can make it even more useful even. Maybe you're like "damn I like this tool but if it only had a ____ button..." and maybe that's something I can do easily. I don't know. Can't hurt to try, right?
While you're here, check out my personal homepagea too, I have all kinds of stuff on here. Thank you, have a great day!
