AppForge
Android and iOS developer workstation with seven integrated tooling modules
Problem
Mobile developers juggle dozens of disconnected tools for asset preview, format conversion, APK analysis, OCR, and API mocking — wasting time context-switching between services.
Solution
Built a unified developer workstation with seven integrated modules — tech articles, asset preview, file conversion, APK parsing, OCR, formatting utilities, and open API references — deployed on Cloudflare Pages with i18n and SEO support.
Architecture
React SPA with React Router 7, modular page architecture per tool, client-side processing for privacy-sensitive operations (APK parsing, OCR), shared UI/i18n layer, and Cloudflare Web Analytics integration.
Tech Stack
React 19 · Vite 8 · Tailwind CSS 4 · React Router 7 · Cloudflare Pages · i18n
Challenges
• Client-side APK parsing without server upload for privacy • HEIC and WebP conversion in browser environments • SEO for a SPA deployed on Cloudflare Pages
Result
Live developer tools site at appforge-7tw.pages.dev with seven functional modules — articles, assets, convert, APK, OCR, format tools, and APIs.
