Straight to the point blog post about online tools and services that I use either daily/weekly/monthly basis. Not all of them are about development, but helpful on Web Developer profession overall. I did not list services like Slack, Google Mail/Inbox, Trello, etc. that are known to most of the Web developers.
Online services
- Browserling - Web Developer Tools Great collection of converters, prettifiers, minifiers, decoders, encoders, etc. No ads or registration.
- Grammarly Free/Commercial. "Grammarly makes you a better writer by finding and correcting up to 10× more mistakes than your word processor." I use this when I write a blog post or when I compose an email answer. Grammarly has made me a better writer, but still a long way to go.
- Talky.io As an avid remote worker I have used many video sharing tools, and this one is by far the easiest and most reliable. We have tested between (modern) mobile phones and desktop browsers without hassle.
- join.me Handy screen sharing application that has a free edition available. We have used it together with Talky.io: screen sharing with join.me and audio+video via Talky.io
- SVGOMG! It is an online user-interface for a command-line tool called SVGO, and it helps to find the correct settings by displaying the result and amount of byte savings.
- BrowserStack. Commercial service for testing your site on real and emulator devices.
- Creddle Service for creating online resume/CV. Import from LinkedIn, fits everything into A4, easy sharing via link and possibility to change typography and colors to match your brand.
- Todoist. One of many to-do services, I haven't had any problems with it.
- Evernote I enjoyed using Springpad, but never quite liked the Evernote. Haven't found any replacement, so Evernote goes to the list. Springpad was brilliant when it comes to "snipping" a web-site, for example when you found an interesting product from an online shop it would determine the price, overview, etc.
- Zervant Billing service. Focuses on freelancers, and therefore, simple and intuitive to use.
- DNSimple This -the- service when it comes to managing DNS, period.
- Upwork To be able to focus on your craft, some of the unrelated things should/could be outsourced. To get inspired, read The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich
