Apps For Developers
GitHub
GitHub is a web service for managing and accessing Git repositories.
Features: Wikis, kanban-style project boards, project releases, web hosting.
I use this app for a basic website and blog hosting. It almost has everything you need to manage documents and release software projects.
Online GDB
Online GDB is a compiler and debugger tool for C/C++ languages. It’s the first online IDE which gives debugging facility with embedded gdb debugger.
This is a very handy app for unexpected crashes. Also, a great way to practice programming and exploring a new language.
All in all, it’s a great online IDE for coding, debugging, and compiling.
Postman
Postman is a collaboration platform for API development. Postman’s features simplify each step of building an API and streamline collaboration so you can create better APIs — faster.
Great for front and back-end development.
JSON Schema Validator
JSON Schema is a grammar language for defining the content, and structure of data. It lets you specify metadata, its object’s properties and what values are valid for those properties.
I don’t really use this all the time but in case I have a problem parsing, this is my go-to app for debugging the problem.
Regex 101
As a software developer, you’ve probably run into regular expressions and were confused when seeing this challenging set of characters grouped together like this:
This app is extremely useful in stepping up your algorithm game and will make you a better problem solver. It finds matches in the text that you have pasted, based on a user-defined regex. It can be overwhelming at first but very rewarding once you get a hold of the patterns and implement them in your work properly.
Font Awesome
Font Awesome is a free, open-source, and GPL friendly. It is designed to be used with inline elements. The <i> and <span >. It can be used for open source projects or whatever you want.
I find Font Awesome useful in prototyping before formal designs have been done.
Stack Exchange
Stack Exchange covers a range of topics. It’s a question and answer site. On Stack Overflow, the specialist site for programming, questions are often answered within minutes of posting.
This app is very helpful for beginners or intermediate developers in case you’re stuck. And if you are advanced, it’s where you go to help and answer.
It’s every programmer's favorite app.
Unicode Table
Unicode is a computing standard for encoding symbols. Encoding takes symbol from the table, and tells font what should be painted. … Each Unicode character has its own number and HTML-code. It’s a representation of text for computer processing.
I hope this list has been useful. If anyone has any other developer web apps, I’d love to hear about them in the comments below.
