[19] Top 10 Must-Have Web Dev Tools – April 2021

It is time to continue my new blog post series - Top 10 Best Web Dev Tools, which I started almost one month ago. Every month I will try to pick the most intriguing and handy tools that I believe are must-haves for every web developer.

1). Daily Dev

The best coding news aggregator I have seen so far (yes, including Hacker News). Available both as a web app and extension.

2). HTTP Cats

A hilarious API that you can use in your website to show funny error messages. For those who are not in the team cat, there is also a dog version.

3). Ray.so

A super cool tool that helps you create some good-looking content for your blog or social media. I will definitely use it the future posts.

4). JSitor

Last month I mentioned Stackblitz, which is a great online code editor for web apps. This time I would like to present a tool with a bit narrower application, which is nevertheless very useful when working with JavaScript.

5). Can I use...

I suppose there must be at least one pick from captain obvious every month. This time it is a widely known resource - Can I use...

6). VIM Adventures

In fact, this is not a tool but an online environment that allows you to learn VIM in a game-like manner. As for this topic, I may as well recommend the Vim Fundamentals course by Frontend Masters.

7). 30 seconds of code

An extensive collection of code snippets for all occasions and all skill levels.
