TidyText.cc

After working with ChatGPT and other AI tools, I realized that copying and pasting responses into Google Docs often messed up the formatting. Markdown is great for structured content, but dealing with the formatting cleanup? Not so much. 😅

Features

You can paste any text from ChatGPT (or elsewhere).
It instantly converts the content into HTML that’s compatible with Google Docs.
It provides a clean preview and lets you copy the result directly to your clipboard with one click.
I built it using React, Vite, Web Workers (to handle processing of the markdown in the background), and DOMPurify for sanitizing input. I used TailwindCSS for the styling and everything is using TypeScript. It’s hosted using Cloudflare Pages.

🔧 Why build this?

I saw a simple problem I could solve for myself and make it simple and delightful.
I love a good mini app as a way of trying out something new (like Vite) and brushing up on my Web Workers skills.
Also I want to get more contracting clients.

💡 What’s next?

There’s Google Docs integration coming soon, so you’ll be able to generate and open documents directly in Google Docs without the extra step of copying.

I built a copy paste tool for sanitizing text between ChatGPT and Google Docs.
