For the past 2 years I, and many others, have been using a lot of small tools, apps, and alike to support us during our development process.

I've taken some time to compile them and list them for you here.

I love talking with and meeting new people at conferences and workshops, a lot of what is listed below was discovered by talking with other passionate developers.

The List

Tools, apps, articles, tutorials, cheatsheets, components, assets, and more to aid developers and other online professionals in their work. Some of these are also useful to spice up your presentation and others are just cool. I'll let you discover them.

Special mentions

This next tool was suggested to me by its creator after the publication of this article, in fact, this paragraph has been added afterward.

The opinions I'm about to express are my own and no one else's.

The tool in question is Bulk Page Speed Test and, by its name alone, you already understood why it's so useful. The loading and crawling speed is amazing, you could test your whole site in under a minute (depending on its size, of course), truly an amazing tool!

The End

Wow! You made it! Y-you didn't just skip through right?

Anyhow, if you enjoy this type of stuff I can post a new edition with new stuff I discover or that is linked below in the comments. *wink wink*

Thanks for reading! 😁
