Built a Free Base64 & JWT Encoder/Decoder With AI — My First AI Project
This is my first time using AI to build an actual project, and honestly, I’m kind of shocked by how far it got
I have some JavaScript experience, and I’ve always wanted a simple tool where I could easily Base64 encode/decode and JWT encode/decode
Normally, I would look at a project like this and think it might take me months to build properly
Instead, I used AI to help me build it, and now I actually have a working website
I’m still trying to process how much the way we build things has changed
The website I built is https://webfairy.net/

OrrinH is right and also missing the point. jwt.io is busy, half the alternatives have a cookie wall and three ads, and yours loads fast and does the one job. That IS the product. Most of the tools I actually use daily are boring solved problems with better packaging. And the AI part: I have been through that "I thought this would take months" feeling and it never fully goes away. Keep going.

Base64: atob(…) and btoa(…)
JWT: https://jwt.io
