PRs Piled Up. Is this project on hold?

[douglasg14b]

I ask because there are some tool improvements that I could aim PRs at, but there's 257 PRs at the time of writing with the last merge happening in October.

Is this project on hold, or in need of maintainers? Or frozen for a refactor?

If there's an issue or PR that's relevant to this, can it be pinned?

Hi, if you arr interested in up to date version of it-tools, I made kind of a fork here : https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools (https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ and docker images https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools/pkgs/container/it-tools)

And I must add that I found some bugs that will be corrected soon.

Hi @sharevb oh yes of course, the missing previews make proper testing more difficult.

I'll take a closer look at some of the tools once I have some time (probably not too soon). I'm always glad to support great projects with the little I can provide.

The only way to report spelling mistake is on the original PR or issue in my repo.

I can't see anything in your repo where one could report anything. Though I'm kind of new to this github thing, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Examples that I found so far:

Multi link downloader:

I kind of understand what the description is trying to say, but it's worded in a weird way. Maybe:
"The tool will asynchronously combine the contents of the provided links into a single zip file for you to download. (Requires an internet connection)"
Also, this is nitpicking, but I would say
"Add links separated by newlines..."
"new lines" sounds like you need to have an empty line between each link, while "newline" is the name of the character you probably mean.

AI Prompt Splitter:

• "priompts"
• "Splitted" is a non-standard form, should be "split". Because past and present are the same for this word, to avoid confusion in such a short phrase, I'd maybe use "divided" instead.
• "paramter"

Math Formats Converter:

Doesn't work at all

Week Numbers Converter:

Description: "Compute Week Number in Year/Month vs Date" This is very confusing, and also conveys no additional information to the title.
Date to Week numbers: This tool uses the American way of numbering weeks and the American way for arranging weekdays, both of which can change by country, neither of which is the ISO standard (though in this case at least America isn't alone in not following it).
Year Week Number to Date: This tool uses the ISO way of numbering weeks and the ISO way for arranging weekdays. Also, the naming could be better. For example "(Year and) Week number to date" (can skip year I think, see below).
Month Week Number to Date: This also uses the ISO standard. Naming could be better, for example "Week number in month to date" (since it's better to skip "year" here, for consistency, it can also be skipped in the previous).
Also: consistency with capitalization of the word "number" throughout this page.

HDD calculator:

Better description: "Convert claimed decimal HDD capacity to how software reports it". There's no "real storage space" as it's all real.
Alternative longer description: "Storage device manufacturers report capacities in decimal form (like GB), while operating systems and other software uses binary form (GiB), although incorrectly using the decimal unit (GB) for it. This tool converts decimal form capacity into various binary forms."
"Capacity in KB" lower case "k", and also all of these capacities should be kiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB. Well, "KB" might actually be a non-standard way of saying kiB, but consistency.

Timezone Converter:

The first "Timezones Date-Time Converter" tool was quite confusing. When choosing a date+time in the second dropdown dropdown, maybe specify "Choose a date/time interval".

I've only checked a tiny fraction of the tools available here, so there might be more.

And I'm only posting this in the hopes of making the tool better, as I'm also very thankful for it existing and someone actually putting in the work! It's just difficult to criticize something that someone has hade for free, but correcting mistakes will make it look and feel more serious and trustworthy.

Hi @ajpanton, thanks for all these reportings I will integrate/check things soon, as a non native english speaker (and even in french, I am not a great "explainer"), I must admit that this will not come simply by myself.

[sharevb]

Hi @ajpanton, I modified and integrated some text in current version and make math converter work: https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/
Thanks again for your reportings

@sharevb: thanks for doing all that hard work on the pr's, and I'm really glad you released a fork as well! Cheers :)

If I come across spelling mistakes, I'll submit pr's on your repo for them.
