/ Challenge

Long web addresses can conceal campaign trackers, repeated values, fragments and routing details, making them difficult to review before sharing or debugging.

/ Provided services

Clear thinking.
Practical delivery.

01

Product definition

Focused the one-day utility on a clear task: understand a pasted link and produce a cleaner version without visiting it.

02

Interface design

Created a responsive neo-brutalist workspace that separates input, cleanup choices, the result and URL anatomy.

03

Engineering

Separated URL parsing, tracker recognition, inspection and transformations into small testable JavaScript functions.

URL Toolkit feature visual
/ Solution

I built a local browser tool that normalizes HTTP and HTTPS links, reveals each URL component and query parameter, and optionally removes common trackers, sorts parameters or strips the fragment.

/ Impact

Local URL processing with no requests

Visible URL anatomy and query data

Optional non-destructive cleanup controls

Seven passing parsing tests

/ Tech stack

URL & URLSearchParams

Standards-based parsing, repeated parameter handling, sorting and serialization without an external library.

HTML, CSS & JavaScript

Accessible form controls, safe DOM output, clipboard support and responsive local-only interaction.

Node test runner

Seven tests cover missing schemes, invalid input, tracker recognition, cleanup, duplicate keys, sorting and inspection.
