About TextFixer.com

A while ago I was getting content in PDFs for a website. The PDFs were in narrow columns with line breaks at the end of each line so I had to manually remove each line break in order to enter the content in a CMS.

After about 3 of these I decided to make a line break removal tool with javascript which made the task a lot less annoying. And then one day I thought that maybe the other developer would find it handy and they did. It was a little secret tool hidden on one of my sites.

I told my friend who's a designer about it and he said that he occasionally gets content for websites in email and that he could use a tool like that. I didn't think much about it but I told him where he could find the tool and about a week later he told me that he used the tool and it was a real time saver.

Click. A flashbulb went off in my head. There might be a need for tools that do basic text changing tasks. Not a grand need like for a beer that always stays cold but still there are people who would find stuff like this very useful in their day to day tasks. Hopefully you do.
