ToolBox98
==========
A browser-based suite of web tools wrapped in a fully
functional Windows 98 desktop interface.
Designed for desktop use.

MOTIVATION
----------
I built ToolBox98 because I was tired of jumping between
different tabs to do basic design work. Background
removal, CSS gradients, color palettes, image optimization
— it should all live in one place. The Windows 98 aesthetic
felt like the perfect container: familiar, charming, and
unapologetically retro.

TOOLS
-----
· CutOut.exe       — AI background removal
· CodeView.exe     — Live HTML/CSS editor
· Assistant.hlp    — AI design assistant
· Colors.pal       — Color palette finder
· CSS_Studio.exe   — Gradients & box shadows
· Optimize.exe     — Image to WebP converter
· Favicon.ico      — Favicon generator
· Paint.exe        — Bitmap paint, MS Paint style
· FontPeek.url     — Font identifier (bookmarklet)
· LayoutPeek.url   — Layout inspector (bookmarklet)
· MusicPlayer.exe  — YouTube playlists and videos (in-browser)

USE IT FREELY
-------------
ToolBox98 is free to use for everyone. If it becomes
popular enough that API costs become a real concern,
I may add an optional donations link — but the tools
will always remain free.
