Small Apps

A repository of small apps/tools that make my life easier.

1. Polish text formatter

A tool that:

1. Puts non-breaking spaces where they should be,
2. Removes them and normal spaces from where they shouldn’t be,
3. Replaces hyphens with em dashes where applicable, and
4. Replaces ... with actual ellipsis …

No more spaces before punctuation marks, no more hyphens where they shouldn’t be, and no more orphans as well as no more worrying about them. Just writing. You’re welcome.

2. ReTube – YouTube Video Responses

ReTube is a simple browser extension bringing the Video Responses feature back to YouTube. Welcome back to 2006!

Use cases:

• Reply to somebody’s video with your own and potentially start a conversation
• Reply to your own video with a correction or additional content
• Link to the previous or the first video in a series
• Whatever else you can think of

It’s been 20 years since the feature was first released. I missed it. But it’s here now, so… Let’s build a community together!
