The complete history of Scratch Tabs. From minor utility tweaks to major architectural shifts, every change is documented here.
Scratch Tabs is open-source and developed in the open.
Adds sixteen pipeline operations across crypto, encoding, text, data, and networking. AES-GCM uses PBKDF2-SHA256 key derivation with a random salt and IV per invocation. RIPEMD-160 uses Node.js crypto where available with a pure-JS browser fallback. Keccak-256 is Ethereum's SHA3 variant (0x01 padding, not FIPS 0x06) implemented in pure JS. IPv6 Expand and Compress round-trip correctly and handle ::, zone IDs, and IPv4-mapped suffixes. Sort JSON Keys gains deep/shallow and pretty/minified parameters. Reading Time separates prose from fenced code blocks with configurable WPM rates.
Two new CSV table actions — promote any data row to the header or demote the header back to a data row, plus a one-click delimiter converter to switch between comma, tab, semicolon, and pipe
Full offline HAR viewer with waterfall, request detail panel, privacy detection, and cURL export — plus Ascii85, Punycode, Brotli, CIDR, CSV Dedupe & Date Arithmetic pipeline operations
Major hex viewer expansion with magic-byte detection, find & replace, undo/redo, strings extraction, 256-bucket histogram, checksums, decoded text panel, drag-and-drop, jump-to-offset, keyboard shortcuts, and 16 MB file support; full certificate viewer with chain analysis; interactive .env editor; plus Morse, NATO, Shannon entropy, URL defang/refang, and CSV pipeline operations
Two new offline security tablets: generate Ed25519, RSA, and ECDSA SSH key pairs with passphrase encryption, inspect and validate any key — plus a multi-account TOTP authenticator with animated countdown rings
