We all know the standard developer tools: JSON formatters, Base64 decoders, etc. But the real productivity killers are the niche problems—the ones that pop up once a month and ruin your afternoon.

I built Orbit2x.com to be the Swiss Army Knife for those specific headaches. Here are 5 "Hidden Gems" on the platform that solve specific DevOps pain points.

  1. The Git Conflict Visualizer

Merge conflicts are ugly. Standard diff tools in terminals can be hard to parse when you have 500 lines of <<<<<<< HEAD.

The Tool: Git Conflict Visualizer

Why use it: Paste your conflicted file, and it highlights the "Current Change" vs. "Incoming Change" in a clean, side-by-side UI, making it obvious what to keep.

  1. The Docker Command Generator

Memorizing docker run -d -p 8080:80 -v /vol:/data --name container image is a waste of brain space.

The Tool: Docker Command Gen

Why use it: A simple UI form that outputs the exact CLI command you need to spin up containers with volume mounts and port forwarding correctly every time.

  1. The Nginx Config Generator

Configuring a reverse proxy shouldn't require reading 50 pages of documentation.

The Tool: Nginx Config Generator

Why use it: Select your domain, upstream port, and SSL settings, and get a production-ready server {} block instantly.

  1. The PDF Metadata Cleaner

Before you send that PDF to a client or upload it publicly, do you know what's in the metadata? Author names? Software versions? Creation dates?

The Tool: PDF Metadata Remover

Why use it: Sanitize your documents for privacy before distribution.

  1. The Crontab Validator

"Wait, is 0 2 * * * 2 AM every day or 2 PM?"

The Tool: Crontab Validator

Why use it: It translates Cron syntax into plain English (e.g., "At 02:00 AM."). Never accidentally run a backup script during peak traffic again.
