From Reddit:
I'm compiling a list of "pocketknives" for game developers, in that they're tools (not just resources) that:
- do One Thing Well
- are portable, as in, permissive license, exports usable data, and fits in any workflow.
- are free web apps, so there's no cost, no download time, and no cross-platform issues.
