Pink Banana Tools publishes field notes on building and running small software products. Start with how a leap-day birthday affects calendar age, or how a line break changes a word counter’s paragraph total.
About Steve T.
I have been interested in development since 2010 and built my first website when I was 11. I learned independently before completing professional training, then started my own company in 2018. Pink Banana Tools is where I turn that long-running interest in building for the web into practical notes for solo developers and small software teams.
What I publish here
The library covers idea validation, customer interviews, MVP boundaries, stack choices, pricing, early acquisition, onboarding, retention, support and the unglamorous operating work behind a narrow software product.
I write for bootstrapped founders, solo builders and small teams that need to decide what to test next—not for readers looking for a guaranteed growth formula. A useful Pink Banana Tools article should help you reject an unnecessary feature, define a safer test, clarify a metric or notice an operational risk before it becomes expensive.
Two examples: One leap day, 9,131 days lived, and a March 1 rule (reviewed 2026-09-13) and Six counts the Word Counter actually returned (reviewed 2026-09-13). Each records specific inputs, observed outputs and limits for the dates and settings described.
One brand, separate public surfaces
This pink-banana.tools host is the editorial publication. Interactive utilities run on separate subdomains, with their own method, limits, tests and privacy page.
- Dice Roller — tabletop dice, notation, d100 modes and session receipts.
- Word Counter — local draft counts, time estimates and transparent heuristics.
- Word Unscrambler — multilingual letter matching with disclosed word-list provenance.
- Flip Coin — browser-side heads-or-tails results and session export.
- Age Calculator — calendar age or elapsed days between two dates, using the documented leap-day convention.
Limits and corrections
Pink Banana Tools does not provide personalised legal, tax, financial, security or compliance advice. Product details, prices and regulations change, so decisions that depend on them should be checked against current primary sources and qualified advice where appropriate.
I am responsible for publication and correction decisions under the Steve T. byline. If you find an unsupported claim, a broken source or an unclear example, use the contact page. The editorial policy explains how sources, examples, revisions and advertising are handled, and the article library shows the current reviewed collection.
