TextForge exposes 28 deterministic text transformations behind a single HTTPS API: slugify, camelCase, base64, email extraction, and batch processing with predictable JSON.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built TextForge because our logging pipeline was importing 47KB of string utilities (lodash, validator, custom snippets) across 5 services just to slugify URLs, camelCase keys, and base64-encode the result.
What it does:
28 text transformations behind one REST endpoint (/v1/run)
Composable pipelines: each step's output becomes the next step's input
Sub-5ms p95 latency, HTTPS-only, CORS-enabled
Free tier: 1,000 requests/day, no API key required
Pro: $2.99/mo for 50K/day, webhooks, batch (100 items), analytics
Example:
curl -X POST https://textforge.co/v1/run \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input":"[email protected]","pipeline":["extractemails","slugify","base64encode"]}'
Transforms included: case conversions (camel/snake/kebab/pascal/constant/sentence/title), encoding (base64, HTML, URL, leet, morse), extraction (emails, URLs, numbers), cleaning (trim, remove special, multiple spaces), analysis (word count, palindrome, hash), generation (random strings), utils (reverse, truncate).
Stack: Express + PostgreSQL + Redis on Railway. OpenAPI spec at /api-docs. Dashboard at /dashboard.
Free tier is genuinely usable — not a trial, no credit card. Upgrade when your volume is real.
Happy to answer questions about the architecture, rate limiting design, or why we chose REST over GraphQL for this.
Slugs came back identical across two runs, which is exactly what I needed for a flaky build script. The batch endpoint saved me from looping through 200 lines of copy myself.
Hit the slugify endpoint a few times and the results were identical every run, which is exactly what I want from a text API. The batch endpoint handled a mixed list of strings cleanly in one call.
How does the batch endpoint handle rate limits when I push a few thousand payloads through it, and is there a synchronous mode if I need results back in the same call?
