BrightByte DevKit

BrightByte DevKit puts 7 developer tools — and 20+ chainable operations inside the flagship Data Transformer alone — behind a single toolbar click. No more bookmarking a different website for every JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, or password generator you need. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you paste in is ever sent anywhere. WHY DEVKIT • One plugin instead of a dozen bookmarked sites, half of which show ads next to a textarea • 100% local — every transform runs in your browser; nothing is ever sent to a server • No accounts, no tracking, no analytics • Free, with no upsell tier • Built for real developer workflows, not just a single conversion: chain steps together, verify JWT signatures (not just decode them), catch JSON duplicate-key bugs that JSON.parse silently swallows ## 1.5.0 ### Added — Data Transformer - **Format converters.** A new "Converters" palette category with ten steps - YAML, CSV, XML, TOML and Properties/.env → JSON, and JSON → each of them. JSON is the hub, so any two formats chain through it (e.g. YAML → JSON → CSV). - **Conversion warnings.** Whatever a conversion has to drop or change - comments, nulls TOML can't hold, integers too big to keep exact, nested data flattened into dotted columns, CSV cells that a spreadsheet would run as formulas - is listed on an amber line under the output, per step, and in the popout window. -** Bug fixes ** ## 1.4.2 - **Dark mode: Fixed hover-revealed action buttons (for example, an email inbox's archive/delete/snooze icons) flickering rapidly while the mouse is over them.** The extension was checking the page's layout at the exact moment the page toggled its own hover state, which some sites read as the mouse leaving and re-entering dozens of times a second. Those checks now wait for the page to settle first. - **Dark mode: Fixed small single-color toolbar icons drawn as background images showing up dark-on-dark and barely readable.** Icon-sized images now switch to dark along with the rest of the page instead of being preserved in their original colors like a photo would be. - **Dark mode: Fixed embedded readers and viewers (for example, an online manga/comic reader) showing a blank white sheet where the content should be.** A transparent, never-drawn-on click-capture layer stretched over the content was being painted opaque; it's now left transparent so the pages beneath show through. - **Dark mode: Fixed photos inside pop-up modal dialogs (for example, a profile-photo viewer) rendering as a photo negative.** Modal dialogs are drawn above the page's dark-mode layer, so the photo inside no longer receives a second, uncancelled color inversion. ## 1.4.1 - **Dark mode: Fixed maps — including tiles, roads, street labels, and overlay layers like boundary lines and contour/river lines — rendering as an unreadable black void or being hidden behind a blank white sheet.** - **Dark mode: Fixed full-page visual effect overlays turning entire pages solid black.** - **Dark mode: Fixed frosted-glass (blurred) menus and panels staying light instead of switching to dark.** - **Dark mode: Fixed light-colored dropdown panels nested inside an already-dark navigation bar not switching to dark.** - **Dark mode: Fixed dark-styled cards and widgets looking washed out instead of keeping their own dark design.** - **Dark mode: Fixed pages that only declare dark-mode support through a page meta tag being mistakenly re-inverted, making text invisible.** - **Dark mode: Fixed embedded document and photo viewers with a transparent annotation layer hiding the real content or showing it with inverted colors.** Release: 1.4.0 -**Dark mode: Fixed video rendering as a photo negative in fullscreen.** Release: 1.3.2 - **Fixed dropping out of dark mode on in-app navigation.** Release: 1.3.1 - **Dark mode now applies inside same-origin iframes.** Release: 1.3.0 ### Added — Dark Mode for Websites - **Force dark mode, per-site or everywhere.** A new "Dark Mode" section in the popup adds two toggles: force it for the current site only, or force it on all sites. Applied via `chrome.scripting.registerContentScripts`, so it persists across reloads and future visits to that site without re-toggling. - Sites that already support dark mode (declare `color-scheme: dark` or already render a dark background) are detected and skipped, so their own colors are never touched. - **No new install-time permissions.** `optional_host_permissions` is declared but grants nothing until you actually toggle a specific site on; toggling it off revokes that site's permission again. Release: 1.2.0 ### Added — Data Transformer - **Save/load recipes.** A "Save As..." button plus a "Saved recipes" dropdown with separate **Load** and **Delete** buttons, backed by `chrome.storage.local`. The dropdown is a plain picker, not a live "currently loaded" indicator: picking a name only enables Load/Delete, and Load resets the dropdown back to its placeholder immediately afterward — it used to auto-load on selection and stay selected, which looked like the editor still matched a saved recipe even after you went on to edit steps. - **Regex Capture step and cross-step variables.** A new "Regex Capture" operation matches a pattern and stores its backreferences — numbered groups (`$1`, `$2`, ...) and any named `(?<name>...)` groups, from a configurable match index — as pipeline-wide variables, passing the text through unchanged so it still feeds the next step. Any later step's text field can reference a captured variable as `{{name}}` or `{{1}}`; unresolved placeholders pass through untouched rather than erroring. A "Captured variables" readout under the Recipe toolbar shows what's currently available. - **Recipe tabs.** A tab strip above the palette/recipe/input/output panels lets you work on several independent recipes in one window at once. Each tab keeps its own recipe and input; `+` opens a new blank tab, double-click a tab's name to rename it, and closing is blocked on…
