Hey Devs! 👋
Over the past few months, I built a website called ezytoolz.com — a 100% free, no-login-required tools hub with 150+ utilities (text, image, pdf, finance, health, etc.).
The twist? I'm not a developer.
I come from a non-IT background and challenged myself to build this site using only:
- Basic HTML/CSS/JS
- Hosted on WordPress
- No backend, no database, no login
And somehow, it’s live, getting organic traffic, and users are loving the simple UI.
🚧 Now I’ve hit a wall:
I want to build more advanced tools that need backend support or secure API usage, like:
- Background Remover (needs remove.bg API)
- AI-based content tools
- PDF to Text tools
But here’s the problem:
- I can’t put API keys in frontend JS – it’s not secure.
- I don’t know how to build a backend in Node, PHP, or Python.
💡 I'm looking for help:
As a beginner, what’s the easiest and most secure way to:
- Add backend API integration?
- Use tools like Cloudflare Workers, Netlify Functions, Firebase, etc.?
- Build backend features using WordPress plugins or no-code/low-code methods?
I’d love it if anyone could:
- Recommend simple platforms or tutorials
- Share examples of similar integrations
- Suggest secure API call patterns for non-coders
🙏 Why I'm sharing:
- To learn from the dev community 🙌
- To improve and scale a solo project built from scratch
- To help others who may want to start building even without a dev background
Thanks for reading. Feel free to visit ezytoolz.com and let me know your thoughts! 😊
