caseconverter.pro
Convert text to different case types the easy way
Developers, marketing managers, and many more people want to convert cases from time to different cases. The process is quite painful with the existing solutions out there and that is how caseconverter.pro got created.
Features
I implemented many more case types:
- path/case
- Header-Case
- dot.case
- UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
- lower case
- UPPER CASE
- Capital Case
There are still some case types left that can be implemented but I am quite happy with the functionality right now.
Blogging
I have created another blog: How to convert text to dash-case in Google Sheets.
It is super targeted to people especially looking for this specific use case. So it should result in some traffic.
SEO
Recently I have been working on improving the rankings on search engines like Google. Based on Marketing Example's comparison page example I have created the first alternative page, targeting the biggest caseconverter alternative.
I have also created specific use case websites:
That should help people with actually converting their JSON keys in a simple way.
I wrote another blog article to grow the SEO ranking for long-tail keywords. You can find the article here.
My research for blog article ideas is quite easy: StackOverflow questions regarding case conversions and related questions. I will try to answer them in a better way and in more detail. From there I should get at least some qualified traffic and can also link from blog articles to the main app to get more users.
Recently I decided to invest some time into SEO. I have done some SEO research with ahrefs and Neil Patel's tool to come up with some blog article ideas. The first one is: What's the name for hyphen-separated case?
It will be probably an article that will be clicked at some point but will not convert a lot of users. But for general content growth, it is great. I have some other blog article ideas in mind that will be posted throughout the next weeks and I will check if my SEO score somehow increases.
I did not prepare a lot for this launch, but I launched it. Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of time to develop content for this project, but I hope this Product Hunt launch is helping somehow with generating some traffic.
You can find the launch page here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/caseconverter-pro
I Will post results, once the day is over. But honestly, I do not expect a lot. If it works great, if not this is also fine.
This is probably the first app I ever wrote that actually went public and also launched on Product Hunt. I learned how to design more or less because of the amazing Refactoring UI book, React + TypeScript, how to integrate Stripe, and many other things. And an additional I wanted to achieve is giving back to the Open Source community. I published the main editor, it's basically a component like Google Translate and you can find it here.
In my last update, I open-sourced the main component of caseconverter.pro.
Since hacktoberfest is happening, I have created some super easy issues to contribute by refactoring simple bits of the component, and so on. I am actively helping other developers to get into coding and how it is to work on some more complex React.js code or component.
Yesterday, I started to receive the first contributions and the contributions made went through code review quite smoothly. Let us see where this goes and feel free to contribute as well.
Long time no update on this project since it was basically just a prototype for getting into SaaS and writing applications on my own. Now getting back to make it at least more usable and share common components for other projects.
The Main Component
The main component is basically a component that you can find on Google Translate but will be used in the case converter app as well. It is a controlled React.js component with TypeScript support and developed with TDDX so it was quite a smooth development experience to move out the component from the existing code base into an own component.
You can find the repository on GitHub here and a live example on CodeSandbox.
There are still a lot of things to do regarding this project, like testing, empty states, character/word count and proper mobile support, but these things will be tackled soon. I plan to write some guides on how to contribute and utilize the Hacktoberfest to get outside contributions as kind of a marketing side-effect.
From August on I have worked on a case converter that should focus on the user experience. I found it tedious to work with the existing solutions and wanted a proper solution to this problem. caseconverter.pro's user experience is focused on how Google Translator is working and the user interface is also based on that. Currently, the app is in an alpha phase, though basic conversions work already. So please try it out :)
