Software development keeps changing. The right tools make a big difference. Check out these six websites every coder needs:
1. Ray.so
Ray.so is a website that provides a quick and easy way to create beautiful code snippets for documentation or sharing purposes. It allows you to generate stunning visuals of your code with customizable themes and backgrounds, making it perfect for showcasing your work.
2. Roadmap.sh
Roadmap.sh offers comprehensive technology roadmaps for various career paths in software development and web development. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer looking to expand your skill set, Roadmap.sh provides detailed guides to help you navigate your learning journey.
3. CodePen.io
CodePen is an online code editor and social development environment that allows developers to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code and see the live results in real-time. It's a great platform for experimenting with new ideas, sharing your creations, and learning from other developers.
4. Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is a widely-used question-and-answer website for programmers and developers. It serves as a community-driven platform where individuals can ask questions related to programming, software development, and various technologies. With a vast repository of solutions and active community participation, it's an invaluable resource for problem-solving and knowledge sharing.
5. Readme.so
Readme.so is a platform that helps developers create beautiful, interactive, and user-friendly documentation for their APIs, SDKs, libraries, or any other software products. It offers a simple, intuitive interface for crafting professional documentation that enhances the user experience.

I have stopped using stack alot since copilot uses stock overflow itself. I am able to get my answer faster and it even provides me a url to stack if needed.
(Disclaimer: without any intention of offending)
Sadly stackoverflow will disapear in the future because of lack of users.
The funny thing is that all the public knowledge gathered by stack overflow itself is what's powering IA's services like copilot who are killing them 🫤.
Where will Copilot get its information from when Stack Overflow no longer exists?
I doubt SO disappears. The world will always need people who know what they're doing to feed info to AI and other things.
This was my thought exactly, what happens if stack is no longer? I guess we will need to train AI with something else. For now tho, damn it works so well and is stack on steroids.
I have found that my learning with Copilot is worsened - it only gives the solution, not the working out. Using SO, making the learning longer and more difficult is what gives you all the wrong solutions to learn from, which you might then use in a future project.
Another resource is devdocs.io/javascript/
Devdocs is very cool yes! 💜🚀
I saw you put ray.so in at number one, and I wrote a little thing about why you should be careful using these sort of tools to embed code in posts a while ago.
I totally get your point here, but there are places where we want to use this kind of thing directly.
Awesome collection, I'll keep this
Thank you for sharing
cool
Great, thank you very mych for sharing!
Nice collection of resources! Gonna click a few and try 'em out.
Hopefully we'll make it into the next one - we love saving developers time 😉
Although I despise Stack Overflow, its a must know to every dev to at least know that the site exists.
Awesome collection ! thank u for sharing.
nice collection
Nice, thanks for putting the list together
