Website Recommendation: This Online Tool on GitHub Detects File and Container Type

If you have a file on your phone or your computer that you are unable to open and want to know what format it is, then check this web page on GitHub. eakondratiev.github.io/file.htm is an online application that will inspect a file signature and provide details as file description, its size and MIME type. According to the details on this page, more than 100 file types are supported. No software installation needed. I tried an EXE file and a DAT, which detected as a DOS executable and a QuickTime MOV container, respectively. Simple and informative.

If you check the main page, eakondratiev.github.io, you will find more tools. Some are for technical folk like IPv4 Ranges, which calculates the network mask and CIDR for subnets of a particular IPv4 range; Mouse Events Tracker detects mouse left-button misclicks and Floating-point Number Representation displays FP numbers in Binary formats for computer programs. There are simple ones too like this file type detection tool, decimal to Roman numeral convertor, and a legacy Windows Contact Card (CRD) reader. The speed conversion tools is most interesting: Enter a value (in m/s or kmph) and it will convert that into more relatable comparisons. For instance, if I enter 100 m/s, it shows me how much time I would take to go from Chicago to LA, London to New York, and more. For those who want something more relatable -- try the Facts, click on the links to find out how fast the Voyager 1 moves, speeds at which solar winds blow, etc.
