Nice! Thank you for sharing. Saved
And I would like to recommend an 'All in one' web development tool -- ServBay. It's alternative to MAMP and XAMPP, but it's much easier to use and has more powerful features. And it saves web developers a significant amount of time in maintaining their development environments.

Just a heads up, ServBay works only on Mac OS.

I love this and I also don't 😅

There are special websites for this ... when googling for frontend development tools, take frontenddogma.com/tools/ alone - it seems when looking at their lists of tools you could publish 150 articles about 5 tools each now 🥲

So what makes these 5 killer websites? Maybe explaining what makes these so special for you would help. Otherwise it looks like there are sites for this

Actually I think the owner of that site has written a post just about this here on DEV 😂

Thanks for sharing these incredible resources! I've had the chance to explore a few of these tools, and they've been absolute game-changers in my project development process.

Flaticon has been my go-to for diverse icon options and their flexibility in different formats has been a lifesaver. Omatsuri is a true gem - having a suite of 12 tools in one place has streamlined my workflow immensely, especially the SVG Compressor and the Lorem ipsum generator. RapidAPI's extensive API collection has been invaluable, although the distinction between free and paid subscriptions is something I consider while integrating APIs.

Additionally, Storyset's customizable illustrations have significantly enhanced the visual appeal of my projects, especially for landing pages. Transform.tools, on the other hand, has been a quick-fix solution whenever I needed to convert elements on the fly.

Overall, these resources have not only saved me considerable time but have also elevated the quality of my projects. Looking forward to exploring more tools and incorporating them into my workflow!

Thanks for compiling these. Can't wait to see more suggestions in your next post!

❤️ Best,
Shubhadip Bhowmik
