Articles add two simple ways back

Version 1.6.8

Guides and reviews can now place two compact navigation buttons above the title, so readers can return to the HandyPebble homepage or the complete article library without hunting through the page.

Back to HandyPebble

One button returns directly to the main toolbox and its search, shelves, and newest tools.

Back to every article

The second button opens the full collection of guides and honest reviews.

Comfortable at any width

The outlined buttons stay compact on a computer and wrap cleanly when a smaller screen needs more room.

Only where they help

An article can keep a quieter standalone opening when the extra navigation is not useful.

Small-business work gets its own shelf

Version 1.6.7

The new Small Business Tools channel puts client documents and everyday business helpers in one focused place.

Four core documents

Invoices, firm quotes, planning estimates, and delivery notes now sit together instead of being scattered across the full toolbox.

Six quick helpers

Business-day math, percentages, discounts, time zones, QR codes, and barcodes cover the small jobs around the main job.

A direct route from home

The Business Tools shelf on the homepage now opens the complete channel and shows the current number of available tools.

Clear professional limits

The channel explains that its documents and calculations are practical starting points—not legal, tax, or accounting advice.

Helpful guides have a quiet place on the homepage

Version 1.6.6

A small set of hand-picked tutorials and reviews now appears between search and the tool shelves, making useful reading easier to find without crowding the toolbox.

Picked with care

Only selected published guides appear here, so the list stays useful instead of turning into an endless feed.

Straight to the article

Each clean text link opens the full guide directly—no oversized cards, extra summaries, or detours.

Easy to scan

The compact layout uses the available width on a computer and becomes one clear column on smaller screens.

The tools still come first

Search and every tool shelf keep their familiar places, with the reading list taking only the space it needs.

Business documents get a cleaner finish

Version 1.6.5

The invoice, project quote, project estimate, and delivery note now keep line items, totals, and print-ready details easier to scan and verify.

Tables read like tables

Complete one-pixel grids separate every row and column without doubled seams, heavy rules, or unfinished bottom edges.

Totals stay connected

Invoice and quote totals now use the document width instead of leaving a large unexplained blank area beside the numbers.

Estimates line up

The six estimate columns share the available width evenly. Labels stay left-aligned while numeric values follow the familiar U.S. convention of aligning right.

Delivery sheets print clearly

Header dividers remain visible without turning white or overpowering the text, and the same restrained grid carries into printed copies and saved PDFs.

Five gardens make the matches harder to spot

Version 1.6.4

Easy Mahjong Solitaire now grows from a 36-tile first level into an irregular 84-tile final garden.

Real level progression

Five different layouts add tiles, layers, staggered rows, and wider search areas instead of repeating one perfectly balanced rectangle.

Every deal still has a path

Each garden is built from a complete removal order. Shuffle Remaining also rebuilds a solvable route instead of gambling on a random shuffle.

Points without pressure

Every pair earns more at higher levels and clearing the table adds a bonus. Hints and reshuffling never cost points.

Progress stays on the device

Clearing a level unlocks the next one and remembers that unlock in the same browser—without an account, timer, ad, or daily streak.

Solitaire gets a calmer table

Version 1.6.2

The new Easy Solitaire keeps the familiar card game while making every move easier to see and recover.

Big, readable cards

Ranks, suits, open spaces, and the draw pile stay clear without squeezing the game into a tiny board.

No clock watching

There is no timer, score chase, ad break, account, or purchase waiting between hands.

Tap instead of drag

Choose a card, then choose its destination. Touch and mouse players do not need a steady drag gesture.

A way back

Unlimited passes through the draw pile, helpful plain-English hints, and unlimited undo make an accidental move easy to fix.

Three everyday jobs get an easier view

Version 1.6.1

The new Easy View Tools shelf uses large type, oversized controls, plain instructions, and no ads for people who should not have to fight the screen.

Math without tiny buttons

The Big Button Calculator keeps only addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, Clear, Delete, and Equals.

Weather without the clutter

Big Weather shows today, tomorrow, rain, wind, temperature changes, and active U.S. weather alerts. GPS stays off until the user asks for it.

Three clear PDF choices

Easy View PDF Tools can merge files, rebuild a smaller copy, or turn every page into a JPG without uploading the documents.

Honest, readable warnings

PDF rebuilding limits, weather sources, forecast uncertainty, saved location behavior, and outside data requests are explained where the decision happens.

Several PDFs become one clean file

Version 1.6.0

The new Handy PDF Merger handles one common job without making people learn a full PDF editor first.

A simple stack

Add two to twenty PDFs, see every file's page count and size, and download one finished document.

The order stays obvious

Drag files on a computer or use the up and down buttons on any screen. The list reads exactly like the final PDF.

Documents stay local

The browser copies the pages on the device. Resumes, schoolwork, contracts, and reports are not uploaded to HandyPebble.

Honest PDF limits

Password-protected files need to be unlocked first, and the page clearly explains why combining a digitally signed PDF invalidates that signature on the new copy.

Three social-image jobs get one careful workshop

Version 1.5.9

The Social Tools shelf now handles profile photos, platform-ready image sizes, and connected carousel slides without asking for an account or uploading the source picture.

Profiles that survive the circle

The new Profile Picture Maker shows square and circular previews together, adds breathing room, backgrounds, borders, and shadows, then downloads one file or a ten-file size pack.

Current sizes in one place

The Social Image Size & Safe Area Maker covers popular Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and Pinterest formats with practical keep-clear guides.

Every crop stays put

Each social format keeps its own zoom and position while the page is open, so fixing a tall story does not undo a wide banner.

Carousels that actually connect

The new Carousel Splitter makes two to ten equal slides from one continuous crop, or switches to independent framing when every panel needs different attention.

Downloads stay organized

Single files handle quick jobs. Ordered names and local ZIP downloads keep profile packs, platform sizes, and carousel slides together.

No social account involved

Framing, safe-area previews, slicing, and export all happen in the browser. The tools never connect to or post through a social account.

Social tools get their own shelf

Version 1.5.8

The new Social Tools channel brings ten useful profile, post, photo, and sharing shortcuts together without asking for a social login.

A real channel

The homepage now gives Social Tools a permanent shelf beside Women's Tools instead of hiding one new idea inside a broader category.

Ten useful starting points

Bio ideas, text and birthday cards, photo strips, collages, resizing, compression, privacy brushes, screenshot notes, countdowns, and QR codes are ready now.

One tool, more than one shelf

Curated channel membership does not remove a tool from Images, Text & Design, Everyday, or another useful primary category.

No account tricks

The channel is built around making, copying, or saving something yourself—not connecting an account, posting on your behalf, or chasing follower hacks.
