A few months ago I'd never touched Cloudflare. Created an account,
deployed a Worker the same day, and thought — what if I just kept going?
So I set a goal: 100 useful tools, all running on Cloudflare Workers.
No fluff. Each one solves something real.
**workerscando.com**
9 tools live so far:
- URL shortener with edge analytics
- Dead man's switch (encrypted secrets that auto-reveal if you go quiet)
- Dynamic OG image generator
- Embeddable contact form that routes to Discord
- URL metadata scraper
- Redirect chain tracer
- Edge rate limiter
- AI webpage summarizer
- File to Markdown converter (PDF, Word, Excel, images)
Every Worker is open source. Every tool is free to use.
No accounts. No API keys.
What I've learned: Workers make things that used to feel complex feel
almost stupid simple. Deploy, it's global, it's fast. That's it.
91 to go. Let's Go.
This is a strong project idea. The “100 small tools” format makes it easy to follow, and keeping each tool free/open-source gives people a reason to come back as the collection grows.
The current set already covers useful developer utilities: URL metadata, redirects, rate limiting, AI summaries, and file conversion. Those are exactly the kind of small tools people often need once and do not want to sign up for.
One thing that could make the project even more useful is adding a simple “request a tool” or voting section, so people can suggest which utility should be built next. That would also make the public build-in-public angle stronger.
