Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

boring

SSH tunnel manager.

What we like

Makes it easy to open, persist, and list SSH tunnels. No need to remember SSH argument ordering. Supports TCP and sockets, including a reverse SOCKS5 proxy. Configurable via TOML.

What we don't like

Nothing - does the job well.

Datatype

Charts as a font.

What we like

Render charts using a font so it doesn’t require any other dependencies (no JS, no images). Available via Google Fonts or as a self-hosted font. Font appears in-line with text. Variable font so you can configure density and weight - resizes like any normal font.

What we don't like

Only supports bar charts, sparklines, and pie charts.
