Web development is difficult but gives you a high when you see things happening the way you anticipated. There are a lot of tools out there that help developers to make their lives simple. But from my experience, I have found that a lot of developers (mostly beginners) don't have any idea about these resources.
Quick Note - These are not the only best resources available, there are a lot more than these but these are some of the tools I have found out throughout my learning journey till now. Feel free to add more in the comment section.
Most of the senior devs might be acquainted with this list but being a newbie I didn't know most of them back then. So, I hope this list will help newcomers.
With that being said, let's get started🥳

1. Resposively
Media queries are hard, but testing media queries could be harder and annoying. Resposively is an open-source devtools that helps frontend developers to preview their media queries on all possible screens sizes vertically and horizontally. Hot reloading, mirrored interactions are some of the key features.
2. Meta Tags
We all know how important SEO is for websites. Meta tags are the ones that make it possible for web crawlers to rank websites by giving metadata of the website. For beginners, meta tags are quite foreign and that's where this website comes as a savior. Create meta tags and preview them.

fonticon makes it possible to use font awesome icons as favicons for your site. You can adjust the size, color and can stack multiple icons too.
