FaaTools

FaaTools is a collection of everyday utilities — PDF, image, text, developer and calculator tools — designed around one principle: files should stay on the user's device whenever possible. There is no account system, no database and no server-side file storage.

Build a fast, private tools platform that can grow from a handful of tools to more than a hundred without each new tool needing its own layout, SEO setup or navigation work.

Product owner, designer and developer (AI-assisted development)

• Defined every tool as structured metadata in a central registry — name, category, keywords, processing type, privacy notes, SEO and related tools.
• Served every tool and category from a single dynamic route, so breadcrumbs, metadata and related links are generated consistently.
• Loaded each tool's workspace only on its own page to keep the shared JavaScript small.
• Automated quality checks and deployment with GitHub Actions: lint, type-check and build on GitHub, then a staged upload to shared hosting with automatic rollback.

• Information architecture and tool registry design
• Interface design and reusable tool workspace components
• In-browser PDF processing including compression, conversion to images, editing and password protection
• Technical SEO: canonical URLs, Open Graph, sitemap and robots generation
• Production deployment pipeline to Namecheap shared hosting with health checks

• Next.js (App Router)
• React
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• pdf-lib
• pdf.js
• GitHub Actions
• Namecheap cPanel / Passenger

• Running in production at faatools.com on Namecheap shared hosting.

• On LiteSpeed/Passenger hosting, the platform supplies the listening socket — the Node server has to detect that environment instead of assuming a PORT.
• Building in CI and shipping only runtime artifacts keeps shared-hosting resource limits out of the build process.
• A metadata registry is what makes a large tools catalogue maintainable: one entry produces the page, the SEO and the internal links.
