About Submodules
Most online tools for developer and design work bury what you need behind ads and forms. Submodules takes the opposite approach: load the page, do the job, leave. Everything happens client-side, which means your files and data never leave your machine. The interface is intentionally minimal so you can focus on the task instead of learning the tool. It is one of about a hundred developer tools that share the same philosophy: do one thing, do it well, get out of your way.
