You are here to know all the tools mentioned and explore the developed ones to make your work and life easier. And to what you may expect, the enlisted ones aren't the familiar tools like Dreamviewer, or codepen. These are indeed the underrated tools which are way more efficient and powerful.
- Froala: Froala is a lightweight WYSIWYG HTML editor written in JavaScript with built-in rich text capabilities and extensions via Froala’s API and server-side SDKs. It’s free and easy to use and is fairly popular. It supports all sorts of frameworks from Reactjs to Django(there are many many more) to have the editor ready from the framework itself. The documentation is not gibberish and is easily understandable.
- Swiftic App Builder: This is a bonus option as it does not need any coding knowledge which makes it easier to use as well. Think of GUI website builders like WordPress, Wix, etc, but for building mobile applications and Swiftic will be there at your rescue.
- Mobile Angular UI: Mobile Angular UI provides essential mobile components that are missing in Bootstrap 3: switches, overlays, sidebars, scrollable areas, and absolute positioned top and bottom navbars that don’t bounce on scroll. It relies on robust libraries like fastclick.js and overthrow.js to achieve a better mobile experience. It has No jQuery dependencies and no fat bootstrap JS. Just a few angular.js directives are super easy to learn to put things together. Mobile Angular UI retains most of the Bootstrap 3 syntax. This way it’s trivial to bring an existing desktop web app to mobile. Also, a super-small CSS file is provided to do the opposite. Just include it and you’ll get a fully responsive and touch-enabled interface that can be used everywhere. Original Bootstrap 3 is stripped out of responsive media queries that are put apart in separate files. FontAwesome Icons are included by default in place of Glyphicons.
- Tailwind CSS: It’s so powerful, that you are missing out on something if you are not using this. It’s probably the best utility to finish with CSS in no time. I’m not saying that you need to use this on every project. I’m saying you probably need to use it on projects which need less time on CSS and you just want it done(or maybe the deadline is tomorrow). The CSS script it creates is efficient and small in size (depending on your HTML file).
- DevDocs: This is made for people who use multiple frameworks on daily basis. DevDocsis an a website that has documentation for many many frameworks together so that you can have a look at any of them at any time, all in one place, rather than searching for one whenever needed. It’s simple and vast at the same time, designed to save your valuable time.
- Corona Labs: Corona Labs?is a cross-platform framework for quickly developing apps and games for mobile and desktop platforms. Although this is a framework, it comes with a game engine called solar 2d, which could be used to make your work 1000 times more powerful. Although this is focused on game developers, I know people who use it for developing apps, and other frontend stuff. It does the job you want and is powerful to have more than the features you need. It’s free and open-source, you don’t have to expect this to snatch your freedom. The only con I can think of is that it only allows you to develop for Android and iOS. So if you are a mobile developer, you might want to consider this.
