What's one resource most devs don't know that you use regularly?

I use https://coolors.co/ almost every week to find nice color combinations for my projects.

What are some of your go-to resources for anything dev related?

As a developer, I mostly use
dnschecker.org/ (To check the DNS Propagation)
iplocation.io/ (To get the IP, its location, and much more)
url-decode.com/ (For the encoding or decoding of the URL, with other 100+ web utilities also available)
myspeedcheck.net/ (For checking the internet speed)
onlinenoffline.com/ (To check, if the website is down or not)

I use transfer.sh to transfer small files from shell to anywhere when scp is not available (creates a download link).

Don't use IT to transfer sensitive information though.

10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design

If your job is anything like mine, sometimes you are given vague requirements without any input from a design expert on how the interface should work. These guidelines aren't a silver bullet that will help you create great interfaces, but they can prevent you from making common mistakes that lead to horrible user experiences.

Fish. The resource I've regularly used to replenish my storages with Omega-3. It does wonders for my memory.

My first thought was the Linux shell fish, what has to do a shell with storage and WTF is Omega-3 a theme? plugin?...

what's wrong with me!?

I'm gonna turn off the computer now and go out, thank you very much.

A couple of (maybe) lesser-known tools I use for web dev:

Hosts.cx - Creates a pseudo url for viewing in-development websites when the URL is pointing somewhere else (like an existing website)

Meyerweb URL Decoder - Makes text and js URL-friendly. Helpful for custom fields.

OWASP Cheatsheet - Good resource for anything about web security. They have a simple pen-testing tool for websites too called ZAP

zealdocs.org/

Zeal is a must-have tool for me, it helps me download documentation of various programming languages and libraries.

I use Dash which inspired Zeal but yeah the combo of Alfred and Dash/Zeal is almost like a muscle tic for me at this point.
