Top 5 Dev Tools I Use for Developing My Side Project

Hi everyone, today I want to share with you all my top 5 dev tools that I use as a solo developer.

API Mockup

Website: jsonsilo.com

Before I start developing a backend, I ensure that my frontend works well with my production API.

This tool also helps me prototype my project quickly.

Design

Website: canva.com

I don't have much time to learn Photoshop, so I choose Canva.com as my design tool😆.

Canva also provides awesome abstract, dynamic size designs.

BaaS (Backend As a Service)

Website: appwrite.io

If you are a mobile developer and looking for a Firebase alternative, check this out.

Appwrite also offers Auth, Database, Functions, Messaging, and Storage. These awesome tools can help you speed up development.

Self-Hosting Uptime

Website: uptime.kuma.pet

If you're looking for free uptime analytics and a modern-looking UI, I recommend Uptime Kuma.

What I like is that it helps monitor your Docker container status without any setup hassle.

UI

Website: daisyui.com

If you're looking for awesome Tailwind components, please check out DaisyUI. It can help you build a website much faster just by using semantic class names.

Do you have an awesome list that you want to share with me? Please comment below! 😄
