Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

The Levenshtein distance is an indicator for how much a text differs from another text. A Levenshtein distance calculator tool might be handy for developers, when they e.g. work on algorithms to identify text changes and want to test their examples.

Is their example of this tool in the wild?

Hi @codingrigge , implemented in my fork: https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/levenshtein-calculator

And if you are interested in an up to date version of it-tools, with many improvements, new tools, and bug fixes, as this repo is almost no more maintained, I made a fork here : https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools (https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ and docker images https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools/pkgs/container/it-tools)
