Built 32 free tools with zero framework, no backend, no accounts — here's what I learned

A few months ago I started building microtools365 — a free tools site, no sign-up, no ads (yet), just plain HTML/CSS/JS with no framework and no build step.

It's grown to 32 tools across finance, text, document conversion, and a few generators — with a heavy focus on India-specific stuff (GST, EMI, income tax old-vs-new-regime comparison) since good free versions of these were surprisingly hard to find.

The interesting technical bit: every document tool (PDF merge/split, image editing, format conversion) runs entirely client-side — nothing you upload ever touches a server. Turned out to be a genuine trust/privacy angle, not just a technical choice.

Still very early — indexed on Google for maybe 3 weeks, basically zero backlinks, ranking around position 80 for most terms. But Search Console's already showing something I didn't expect: my text diff checker is getting way more search impressions than anything else, across a bunch of query variations ("compare text," "text comparison tool," etc.) — apparently real demand there I hadn't anticipated.

Happy to answer questions about the build (no-framework static site on Vercel, deployment gotchas, client-side PDF/image processing) or just take feedback on the tools themselves.
