These free tools for developers are 🔥🔥🔥

Fayaz Ahmed on May 20, 2020

I make multiple projects during my free time, like Tvflix, GSON, Appy Dev and many other micro projects. So finding these free tools as alternative...

Hey, Fayaz please check out their pricing, all the features is free for Open-Source and Small Teams.

Pricing page looks free for open source only, not small closed source projects.

Hey Tiago, strange, they must have changed recently, I use Codacy since they started and I have private projects and teams on my account. I apologize for my misinformation but it remains an excellent product.

No worries Vitor. It does look potentially curious, if it were easily free for small private projects (like codefactor for example), I'd love to hook it up too. Just can't justify paying for smaller personal projects sadly.

If you don’t mind a bit of self promotion, I created reporemover.xyz. It’s a free and open source tool to help devs delete/archive multiple repos. Great for cleaning up your GitHub if you’ve got lots of forks or old deprecated projects.

Awesome list and well structured. Thanks for your work. In the deployment section, you could add stormkit.io.

btw the title "Hosts, Servers for deoplying you frontend/backend" has a typo. Not that it matters :)

What about Charles for inspecting, intercepting, and rewriting network requests? It has free/paid modes but the free mode (I believe) has full functionality except is time-limited.

Some are really free and others have the "pricing" link.
For me the title is misleading. Like the beefree.io
