Back in 2011, I made a small tool that could fetch a Minecraft's player skin and download it - called 'Skin Finder'. It was extremely basic, but it was popular and actually helped the popularity of Powered by Redstone. Then in 2013, I rewrote it with a better-looking interface and called it Skin Finder 3. It looked cooler, but it basically did the same thing.
But times have changed, and Skin Finder has been broken for a while for two main reasons. Firstly, Mojang made a new URL format for their skins, and secondly, a new skin format was introduced in Minecraft 1.8 that carries over to Pocket Edition 0.11.0. After a while in development, I give you 'Skin Manager'!
Skin Manager allows you to open a Minecraft skin from a Minecraft username or URL. From there, you can save it to your computer, set it as your Minecraft skin, or save it to your mobile device for use with Minecraft: Pocket Edition. It's fast and easy! And best of all, it's open source on GitHub and will be getting updates in the near future to enable more features.
It still needs some work, but I think Skin Manager 1.0 is a good start. Let me know what you think in the comments, and any features I should add!
