Introducing DevBottle: Tools for Developers and Designers

Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of DevBottle – a collection of simple yet powerful tools designed to make the day-to-day work of developers and designers easier and more efficient.

Why DevBottle?

As developers, we often find ourselves performing the same repetitive tasks throughout our workday. Whether it’s cleaning up HTML from a CMS, generating SEO-friendly URLs, or handling other routine operations, these small tasks can add up and slow down our workflow.

That’s where DevBottle comes in. Our mission is to create focused, efficient tools that solve specific problems in the development and design process. No bloat, no unnecessary features – just tools that do one thing and do it well.

The best tools are those that become invisible in your workflow, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – creating great products.

Our First Tools

We’re starting with two essential tools that address common pain points in web development:

SlugTool

Creating clean, SEO-friendly URLs is a fundamental part of web development. Our SlugTool makes this process effortless:

Convert any text into a clean, URL-friendly slug
Remove special characters and replace spaces with hyphens
Handle multilingual characters appropriately
Customize your slugs with various options

Whether you’re building a blog, an e-commerce site, or any web application that uses human-readable URLs, SlugTool can save you time and ensure consistency across your projects.

Markup Cleaner

If you’ve ever had to paste content from Word, Google Docs, or emails into a CMS or code editor, you know the frustration of dealing with messy HTML. Our Markup Cleaner tool solves this problem:

Strip unnecessary inline styles and classes
Remove Microsoft Word and other editor-specific markup
Fix common HTML issues and inconsistencies
Get clean, semantic HTML ready for your website

This tool is particularly useful for content managers, bloggers, and developers who work with content from various sources.

Built for Developers, by Developers

What sets DevBottle apart is our focus on creating tools that we ourselves want to use. Each tool is built with the developer experience in mind:

Speed: All tools are designed to be fast and responsive
Simplicity: Clean interfaces that don’t get in your way
Reliability: Consistent results you can depend on
Privacy: Your data never leaves your browser

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. We have plans to expand our toolset with more utilities that address common development and design challenges. Some tools on our roadmap include:
