800+ tools, zero backend. How I'm scaling 99Tools.net 🚀
Hey everyone! I’ve been building 99Tools.net—a collection of over 800 free developer and utility tools.
While most similar sites rely on heavy backends, I’ve kept everything strictly serverless and client-side using vanilla JS. Every tool processes data locally in your browser. It’s better for privacy, and the performance is near-instant because there's zero server-side lag.
As someone with an SEO background, the biggest challenge right now isn't the code—it's efficiently indexing and ranking a site with this many individual pages.
I’d love to hear from other makers here:
What’s a "small" tool you use daily that still feels too bloated or slow?
Any other utility site owners here? I'd love to swap notes on scaling.
I'll be around to chat about the tech stack or SEO strategies!
