This article was originally posted on my personal blog
Throughout the years, I have found repositories that I liked and starred (then totally forgot about, to be honest). Some are very helpful, others are just nice to know about. So, I decided to put some of them on a list in the hopes that it helps others.

🗂 The perfect Front-End Checklist for modern websites and meticulous developers
Front-End Checklist
🚨 Currently working on a V2 of frontendchecklist.io,
feel free to discuss any feature you would like to see in the next version
The Front-End Checklist is an exhaustive list of all elements you need to have / to test before launching your website / HTML page to production.
How To Use • Contributing • Website • Product Hunt
Other Checklists:
It is based on Front-End developers' years of experience, with the additions coming from some other open-source checklists.
How to use?
All items in the Front-End Checklist are required for the majority of the projects, but some elements can be omitted or are not essential (in the case of an administration web app, you may not need RSS feed for example). We choose to use 3 levels of flexibility:

The name is pretty straightforward. This repository gives you the ultimate checklist you might need for your front-end projects. It is very detailed and I think it's extremely helpful for beginners and for the rest of us that tend to look over or forget certain details sometimes.

You know all of those code screenshots you see on Twitter? Though the code's usually impressive, we saw room for improvement in the aesthetic department. Carbon makes it easy to create and share beautiful images of your source code. So what are you waiting for? Go impress all of your followers with your newfound design prowess.

There are a few different ways to import code into Carbon:

Do you ever see on social media beautifully designed code screenshots and think "hmm I wonder how they make those?" The answer is Carbon. Carbon lets you share and create beautifully designed code images. You can do this using their website by choosing the language, typing in your code, and then export the image and share it to any social media platform you want. It also has many features as well so I suggest you check out their GitHub repositories for more details.

free-for-dev
A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev
free-for.dev
Developers and Open Source authors now have a massive amount of services offering free tiers, but it can be hard to find them all to make informed decisions.
This is a list of software (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.) and other offerings that have free tiers for developers.
The scope of this particular list is limited to things that infrastructure developers (System Administrator, DevOps Practitioners, etc.) are likely to find useful. We love all the free services out there, but it would be good to keep it on topic. It's a bit of a grey line at times so this is a bit opinionated; do not be offended if I do not accept your contribution.
This list is the result of Pull Requests, reviews, ideas and work done by 1100+ people. You too can help by sending Pull Requests to add more services or by remove ones whose offerings have…
If you want to start and deploy your next project, but you don't really want to pay or you're controlling your budget, then I suggest keeping this repository in your Stars. This repository provides a full list of services you can find online that will provide you with what you need to do for free.

Add opacity to the body tag and decrease it every day until their site completely fades away. Set a due date and customize the number of days you offer them until the website is fully vanished.

var due_date = new Date('2017-02-27');
var days_deadline = 60;
/* stop changing here */
PS: Next time use letsdeel.com to make sure you get paid.
Usage
Just load the not-paid.js file in <head>

Because this repo is going viral…
This repository might be helpful to some freelancers. If you worked on a project and the client isn't paying you, just add the js file in this repository to the web page and it will add opacity to the page then increase it every day until the page completely fades away.

These are some of the GitHub repositories I've liked throughout my years as a developer. If you have others as well, please share them in the comments!
