  • Text tools work without sign-in Text cleanup can now start from the public app space for simple no-account use, while signed-in history and paid AI actions stay behind account controls.

Find and jump to any tool from anywhere

0.11.0 · 2026-05-26 · minor

Navigation got a real home. Every page now has a persistent app switcher (jump straight to Link, QR, Color, or Image — or back to the Apps home — from wherever you are), the Apps home lists every app AND its sub-tools, and search now finds those sub-tools too (try 'palette', 'generate', or 'average'). The sub-tool pages are also in the sitemap so search engines can find them.

  • Jump to any tool from any page A persistent app switcher now sits on every page — go straight to Link, QR, Color, or Image, or back to the Apps home, without hunting for a link. No more dead-ends.
  • The Apps home lists every tool + its sub-tools The home page now shows each app with its sub-pages (color theory, palette analysis, generate a color, the image gallery/describe/average tools) — and search matches them, so typing 'palette' or 'generate' takes you there.

Favorites — pin the colors, links & QR codes you care about

0.5.0 · 2026-05-25 · minor

You can now favorite a color, a short link, or a QR code and find it again fast. Each tool shows your favorites in place, and your account page gathers all of them together, grouped by type.

Apps: Image, Links

Categories: added

  • Favorite a color Star any color from its page to pin it. Your favorite colors appear on the Color tool and on your account page — open one to jump straight back to its full dossier.
  • Pin the links you use most Favorite a short link from your manage list so it's easy to find again, and see all your pinned links on your account page. A favorite still shows with a clear label even if the original link is later removed.
  • Pin your QR codes Favorite a QR code the same way — pinned codes are gathered on your account page alongside your other favorites, grouped by type.

Tools, accounts, and QR codes

0.2.0 · 2026-05-24 · minor

400.dev grew from a single tool into a small suite — a Color tool with 31,900 named colors, QR codes for your links, personal accounts with display handles, your Saved Artifacts in one place, a tools home, a public status page, and safer link sharing.

  • Color tool — 31,900 named colors Look up any color by name or hex. Each color gets a full page: every code (HEX, RGB, HSL, OKLCH, CMYK, LAB), contrast checks, harmonies, tints and shades, color-blindness previews, its color family, and the nearest named colors. Save colors to your account.
  • Your Saved Artifacts, on your account Everything you've made across tools — links, QR codes, and saved colors — now lives on your account page, grouped by app, newest first, with search.
  • QR codes for any link Generate a QR code for any saved link, customize its colors, and download it as an image. Scans are counted separately from clicks.
  • Your account and display handle Every signed-in person now has an account page to set a unique lowercase display handle and an avatar, with instant availability checks and suggested alternatives when a name is taken.
  • Find your tools fast The tools home now shows your favorites and recently used tools, plus a unified search across everything available to you.
  • Create your own external links Members with a verified email can now shorten external destinations, not just internal ones, with sensible monthly limits.
  • Public status page A live status page at status.400.dev shows current uptime and any active incidents.
  • Stronger link safety New external destinations are screened against known threats, re-checked over time, and can be reported and taken down quickly.
