Tab nine

Alt Text

Tab nine is an AI based code assistant software. It predicts what code you might be writing and suggest you to autocomplete what you might be intending to write. It works very similarly as autocomplete in Gmail just for coding.

ESlint

ESLint prevents you from making code mistakes even before you try to run the code. It will generate an underline of where the problem might originate and show an error in console after the code is compiled. In this way you are increasingly reducing the time you spend on debugging and testing the code.
