๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€10 sites or apps that can make your frontend development to pro* level

These are the site / apps/ extenstion I found very useful in my frontend development.

They can eventually 5x your developement speed.

Responsive

I'll place this in the top place, it is one of the emergging open-source electorn app where you can check the resposiveness of multiple phone and screen.

Not only that think of this scenario you can inspect and add a css code it gets changed in all the screens you can check how the code impacted in all resposive screens in a single window !

can't get cool๐Ÿ˜Ž than this

Shape Divider

Resposively got the 1st badge in the product hunt here it the second bagde holder.

In the modern desgin world we'll get many background or floating shapes like waves , curve etc.

This app can solve that easily it can be helpful in making diffrent type of shapes and generate css for the shape

Animation

If we use style and animation for a text or any element animation is the first thing that seeks attention of the user. We can complain even I looks there first ๐Ÿ˜‚

Animista can help you with , it has many animation templates you can select any and check how it works actually. Out of the box they generates CSS for the particular animation. Animation can be simple now :man-shrugging:

Border-radius

This is the only border-radius code or template i've seen 2 years back border-radius:10px or border-radius:50%

but now it way ahead having multiple border shapes in today's design. Design is nice come on how can we generate that by just inspecting a element :face_with_rolling_eyes:

This site solves my border-radius issue recently now it's easy! let's do different border radius

Gradient

Gradient colors are the one often used for background and other stuffs. Same inspect can't help much more . But Css-matic can help it with to generate cool gradients .

In my recent post I created the background using this site it's cool

It can handle other stuff's like box-shadow,border-radius,noise-texture

CSS Clip Path

CSS Clip path is the one used for shaping the svg or image other than using border-radius . It can be used to generate the available geomentric shapes.

This site can help to clip the shapes and generate the CSS value for that shape

Icons are the things that can't be avoided in making a website wheather it can be of svg or from font awesome.

This site has the limited number of icons but it covers major icons in the use case for free

Font Selector

We see many of the site is our day to day web surff some fonts many be influenced us this simple chrome extension can help to find the font used in any of the sites

it can be done using inspect as well ๐Ÿ˜ but you can't inspect every text used it may have multiple fonts

Color Selector

Same like the font selector it is color selector many of you would've used already just mentioning here
