Web Development Tools Every Developer Should Be Using!
Web development is an evolving process. Being a developer you will always come across bugs
in your website and new development techniques that you would want to apply to existing
websites. Professional web developers have been creating useful web development tools for
fellow developers that make application of new techniques to websites easier and a lot more
hassle-free. Most of these tools come in the form of browser add-ons and plugins which help
you make a better website or improve the existing ones.
Here are some of the web development tools that, in our opinion, every web developer should
be aware of and might want to use in their development practice.
Play Framework
One of the most developer-friendly tools out there, Play Framework is brilliant for developing
web applications that run on Java and Scala. It comes with built-in testing tools that allow you
to test your changes and refreshing the tool quickly shows you the modifications you do.
Moreover, this tool was built by keeping the mobile responsiveness of web apps in mind hence
works to create mobile apps as well.
Dimensions
Dimensions allows you to measure everything on a website from images, gifs, videos to texts,
icons and buttons, and it works as an extension to Google Chrome. Enabling and disabling the
tool is easy with a keyboard shortcut in Chrome’s settings. Dimensions is especially useful when
you need to measure the elements on a mocked up website in PDF. Simply drop it in the
browser and you are set to work.
Bug Muncher
There is no way any website or app is completely bug-free. There will always be a little bug here
or a little bug there and your customers will keep coming up with the errors. What this tool has
done is so cool; it has made highlighting those issues by clients easier. Your client highlights the
problems on the website and the tool takes a screenshot of it for you. It saves you a lot of time
and hassle explaining the technical issues to a layman and it reports back to you with
everything you need to fix the bug.
Impulse
Especially ideal for social media platforms or websites that require setting up chat facility for
users to interact with each other or the administrators of the website, Impulse lets you create
mobile and web-friendly chat options such as Chat Heads like Facebook’s, a pull-down menu,
inertia scroll, Oridomi Cover and Bouncy Scroll for your website.
These are some of the many amazing development tools available out there that just make the
life of a developer easier. Check these out and you might wonder where have you been all this
time!
