A developer from DEV Community shared their journey of creating 97 free online tools and games as a means of learning consistent shipping. This project began with small web utilities aimed at solving daily work issues and evolved into a comprehensive platform. The developer focused on small tools rather than one big product, finding that smaller projects were easier to start and finish.

The tools range from utility tools like password generators and text converters to browser-based games for learning and fun, all accessible without signups or downloads. The technical choices included lightweight JavaScript and minimal dependencies, prioritizing speed and reliability over perfection. The developer emphasized that consistency in shipping, even small improvements, was key to progress.

This approach to building and shipping tools can inspire other developers to create useful side projects without waiting for the perfect idea. The project, Axonix Tools, demonstrates how small, consistent efforts can lead to a significant collection of valuable resources.
