All free resources for developers at one place

Well as a human, I love free things 😒. So, I have gathered some free resources that I've used over the years. And I want to share them with you all amazing peoples.

To develop any thing, we first need a computer💻 and an internet🌎 connection. Then of course an operating system (we all know linux is available totally for free).

Let's talk about the things that come after these:

Code editor:

  1. VS code
  2. Sublime text editor
  3. Atom

Online code editors

  1. Codepen
  2. CodeSandbox
  3. Stackblitz
  4. Find more online code editors here

Stock photos and videos:

  1. Pexels
  2. Unsplash
  3. Pixabay
  4. Mixkit
  5. Coverr

  1. Freepik
  2. Undraw
  3. Vecteezy
  4. Openclipart
  5. Vectorstock

  3. Code compressor

Hosting providers

  1. Netlify
  2. Heroku
  3. Github pages
  4. Vercel

There is also a stage where you need to decide on a Tech Stack for your project.

And here let me promote my tool "Moiva" - moiva.io/

It allows you:

  • evaluate and compare Npm packages and GitHub repos
  • find alternatives
  • see historical trends
  • visualise stats in different dimensions
  • share the findings and download charts

Thank you for this valuable content.
Also, you do a small mistake, you forget a "b" for "Dribbble" under “Design ideas".
