What's new

Site changelog: new tools, improvements and fixes. Each version — a small step forward.

v1.10.0

2026-07-30

Current

Added

Typographer: brings Russian text in line with typesetting rules — guillemets with nested low-high quotes, an em dash instead of a hyphen, non-breaking spaces after short prepositions, an en dash in numeric ranges and a real minus sign.

Added

Every edit is highlighted right in the result: you see not only what came out, but exactly where the tool stepped in.

Added

Ten rules, each one switchable, with a counter next to it showing how many times it fired on your text. Zero and a dash differ: zero means “the rule looked and found nothing”, a dash means “switched off”.

Added

Phone numbers, standard codes and dates such as 12.1.005-88 are not turned into ranges: they are recognised by shape, and the hyphen inside them stays a hyphen.

Added

A “Show invisible” toggle marks non-breaking spaces with a visible glyph — on screen only; the real text goes to the clipboard.

Added

Running the text through twice changes nothing, so “Result into the input” is safe: switch another rule on and run it again.

Added

Restoring the letter “ё” is off by default and only touches unambiguous words.

v1.9.0

2026-07-30

Added

Hexadecimal numbers: convert to hex and back. Decimal, hexadecimal, octal and binary forms of one number at once; a lane of digits where each one steps with arrows and shows the nibble — the four bits it unfolds into.

Added

A byte breakdown: every byte in decimal, in bits and what it means in ASCII. Next to it, a colour check: three, six or eight digits read as a colour, and anything else can be padded with zeros to six.

Added

Octal numbers: convert to octal and back, with the same digit lanes but three bits per digit.

Added

A chmod permissions calculator: ticking read, write and execute for the owner, the group and everyone else recomputes the octal code, and the code gives the symbolic form such as rw-r--r--. Special bits (setuid, setgid, sticky) are parsed and correctly replace the execute letter. Alongside is a verdict: 777 is flagged as dangerous, write access for others as risky.

Added

Ready-made permission sets explained: 644, 755, 600, 664, 700 and 777 — what each means and when to use it.

Added

Link to a specific value: /tools/hex?hex=FF and /tools/oct?oct=644 open the page with it already loaded.

Changed

Numbers are computed in big-integer arithmetic, so the converter holds values of any length rather than only those fitting in 53 bits. A long hash or identifier used to lose its low digits silently while still looking plausible.

Fixed

The case converter, URL encoder and Base64 pages open again: after the move to the icon set, three components still called an icon without importing it, and server rendering failed.

Fixed

The tool counter on the home page and in the footer now agrees with the number in Russian. The word form was hard-coded and matched the count only by accident.

v1.8.0

2026-07-29

Added

Temperature units: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, Réaumur, Newton and Delisle — type a value into any scale and the rest follow. Precision from whole numbers to six decimals.

Added

Reference points in a single table: absolute zero, freezing and boiling water, room temperature, the human body, an oven. Tapping a row puts the value into the converter.

Added

A dedicated oven block: 180 °C is exactly 356 °F, but US dials are marked 350 °F. Both numbers are shown, because recipes use both.

Added

A note below absolute zero: the conversion is still shown, with a reminder that such a temperature cannot exist.

Added

A link to a specific value: /tools/temperature?c=36.6 opens the page right at it.

Changed

The bringer.ru mark in the header now follows the theme: in dark mode the plate turns light and the letter dark. Previously the dark plate blended into the dark background.

Changed

Site icons were redrawn and rebuilt: a full set for browser tabs, bookmarks, the iOS home screen and Android installs. The letter in the icon is now drawn in the brand typeface instead of whatever the browser substitutes.

Changed

Interface glyphs are now a single icon set instead of a mix of emoji and typographic characters. Emoji were rendered by the system font and looked different on every OS, turning rows of buttons into colourful patches. The set is monochrome and inherits the colour of the text next to it.

Fixed

Warnings in the salary calculator (approximate reverse calculation, the “Forecast” tag, the contributions figure) are coloured again — a typo in a colour name had left them rendering as plain text.

v1.7.0

2026-07-28

Added

WCAG contrast checker: text and background contrast against the standard — the ratio from 1:1 to 21:1, a traffic-light verdict and all five checks at once: AA and AAA for normal and large text, plus 3:1 for icons, borders and interface elements.

Added

Live preview: the chosen pair is shown right away as a 16px paragraph, large text, a link, disabled text, an input field and a button — next to a note about which sample maps to which threshold.

Added

A “How to fix” section: the nearest passing colour is found by moving lightness while hue and saturation stay put. You see “before → after”, the new HEX and the new ratio; “Apply” puts the colour into the field. Either the text or the background can be adjusted.

Added

Enter a colour any way you like: the picker, HEX, RGB and HSL channels, 140 named CSS colours with autocomplete, and the screen eyedropper where the browser supports it. There is a swap button and one-click common pairs.

Added

The pair lives in the address — ?fg=E4002B&bg=F1EEE8. A link to a specific check can be shared; everything is still computed in the browser.

Changed

Crawling is narrower: the service routes /admin and /api/ are closed, and campaign tags and interface-state parameters are folded into the clean address — previously /tools/case?mode=sentence was indexed as a separate page competing with itself.

Changed

Card titles in the reference sections and in the “Related tools” block became real third-level headings. Nothing changed visually, but search robots and screen readers now read the page structure correctly.

Fixed

Local development no longer waits five seconds for an unavailable database on every request — production was unaffected, but working on the site was five times slower.

Fixed

Removed a random failure in the person generator tests that occasionally kept green code from reaching production.

v1.6.0

2026-07-27

Added

Salary and income tax calculator: the Russian progressive scale month by month — when cumulative income crosses a threshold, how much is withheld that month and how much is left. The switch month is highlighted; in the split month both rates are shown.

Added

Bonuses and one-off payments in specific months with the whole ledger recalculated: annual, quarterly, vacation pay. Presets for “Quarterly ×4” and “13th salary in December”.

Added

Reverse calculation: enter take-home pay and get the gross salary. If the year contains a threshold crossing, the result is honestly marked as approximate.

Added

Annual income split by rate in a single bar: it shows that the higher percentage applies only to the top slice, not to the whole salary.

Added

Child deductions and employer cost (contributions on top of the salary).

Added

The summary is copied to the clipboard with one button. The calculator deliberately never builds links containing amounts: a salary should not land in browser history or in a chat.

Added

New catalog section “Finance & Money”.

v1.5.1

2026-07-27

Added

The catalog search query now lives in the address: /tools?q=base64 opens Tools with the filter already applied. A search result can be shared or bookmarked.

Added

A “Popular searches” block in the footer — the ten most wanted tools on every page of the site.

Added

An “Example” button in the QR code generator: drops the site logo into the middle of the code so you can see how it looks without hunting for an image on your disk.

Changed

Tool names in the “New” strip on the home page became links — previously only the block itself was clickable.

Changed

Page headings now form a proper h1 → h2 → h3 hierarchy: home page sections, catalog category names and card titles are real headings. Nothing changed visually, but search engines and screen readers now read the page correctly.

Changed

The favorite button on each card is labelled with the tool name instead of the same “Favorite” on all twenty-six.

Changed

The home page ships WebSite structured data with site search and an ItemList of popular tools.

Changed

The QR error-correction level now grows together with the logo size instead of being set once on upload. Previously a logo enlarged with the slider silently broke the code while the traffic light still promised “scans perfectly”.

Fixed

The backdrop under a QR logo is cleared in whole modules — no more ragged edge around the logo. The slider tops out at 26%, so every position now produces a readable code.

Fixed

The site owner's own visits no longer count towards the traffic statistics.

v1.5.0

2026-07-26

Added

QR code generator: links, text, Wi-Fi, contacts (vCard and MeCard), Russian GOST R 56042-2014 payments, emails, phone numbers, SMS, geo points and calendar events.

Added

Live scannability assessment: WCAG contrast, correction budget for the logo, inversion and quiet zone — a traffic-light verdict with specific remarks.

Added

Camera verification right in the browser — the decoded content is compared with your data, and the video never leaves the tab.

Added

Batch generation: a list of links or CSV “name,data” → a ZIP of PNG or SVG files, up to 500 codes at a time.

Added

A print size calculator based on the 10:1 rule, plus styling: colour, gradient, module and eye shapes, quiet zone and a centred logo.

Added

The address of a tool page now follows scrolling: reach a section and an anchor such as #about appears in the address bar. Copy that link and it opens right at the section.

Added

The selected data type is kept in the address: a link like /tools/qr?mode=wifi opens the generator right on that form — handy to share or bookmark.

Changed

Section anchors on every tool page are now meaningful: #converter, #reference, #about, #related instead of #sec01…#sec05. Old links keep working and lead to the same section.

v1.4.0

2026-07-25

Added

Catalog search on the Tools page: live filtering by title, description, badge and slug, a result counter and hiding of empty categories. Shortcuts: / focuses the field, Esc clears it, Enter opens the only match.

Added

A real 404 page instead of a stub: it guesses the tool behind a typo in the URL and offers search and popular tools.

Added

A “New” strip on the home page — recently added tools with a link to the changelog.

Added

Favorites: three orders (custom, recently added, most used), a run counter on each card and JSON export of the list.

Changed

Favorites moved to the current design system: large heading, cards with a drag handle, empty state with a hint and a link to the catalog. On narrow screens the order is changed with ↑ / ↓ buttons — drag and drop does not work on touch screens.

Changed

The home page hero is more compact: favorites and the catalog now fit into the first screen.

Changed

Breadcrumbs on a non-existent address show “Page not found” and lead home instead of splitting the URL into segments.

Fixed

The favorite star stayed lit after removing a tool from favorites — both on catalog cards and on tool pages.

Fixed

Markup mismatch while loading pages with stars: the server rendered an empty star, the browser a filled one.

Fixed

An unreachable database no longer stalls page rendering — the connection now has timeouts.

v1.3.0

2026-07-25

Changed

All 25 tool pages redesigned into a unified layout: title + FavPill + 4–5 section nav, IO panes with side / stack layout, demo text only on first visit, one-click copy.
