View specifically what works, in what capacity, across various browsers and releases. Easier than troubleshooting manually.

Built on Radix and Tailwind. Copy-paste in, customise as desired, no dependencies.

Runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager in one. Usually a lot faster than npm/yarn/pnpm.

Built in Rust, replaces pip, pyenv, venv, etc. Drastically faster than typical managers.

General polished OSINT tools. Most resources are behind a paywall, but decent reference value regardless.

Automate access/analysis of hundreds of data sources in one place. Self-hostable with a decent UI.

Visual node-based workflow automation editor like Zapier, but self-hostable.

SSG but particularly quick and lightweight, No strong opinions. Tiny output, and by-default no JS on the client.

Good accessibility checker on live sites, with local extensions as equivalent available for various browsers.

Randomly generate reasonable colour palettes, with export as CSS, Tailwind, XML, and plenty of other formats.

High-quality styled components, primitives, and baseline assets to build on, and not worry about accessibility.

Alternative to Postman/Insomnia, open-source local-first API client that stores collections as plain files.

My primary choice for rough web-based diagramming, with a decent component library. Alternative to tldraw.

Lightweight and pretty quick. Fairly comfortable and supports whatever REST, WebSockets, GraphQL you'd need.

Zero-dependency ORM that feels like SQL, and integrates natively with postgres, mysql, sqlite.

Define a schema, validate at the edges, and let TypeScript take it from there. Fairly painless.

Global container deployment with a reasonable CLI. Handles volumes, Postgres, and scales down to zero.

Self-host open-source fonts without touching a CDN. Install, import, done.

Write styles inline as consistent pre-built classes. Doesn't look great but so much faster than raw CSS.

Light enough to just open and wireframe. Simpler early-stage alternative to Figma.

Get the perspective of a real camera from a single image and export straight into whatever 3D software.

Solid modern reference for performance, accessibility, and general guidance.

Collates 17 open-source icon libraries (35797 icons) for use as a library, jsx, or raw svg. Big fan.

Everyone knows it but is an obligatory mention. Large library of free-to-use photos good for placeholders.

Massive collection of free SVGs. Super quick to search, download, and use.

Screenshot library of actual apps, organised by pattern. Solid reference, annoyingly paywalled though.

React/Tailwind component library, interesting thing is the community library of open-source components.

Copy-paste react components for modern/creative patterns. Novel drop-in stuff (backgrounds used a lot in this site 🙈)

Large collection of flashy, opinionated components with strong visual effects. Good reference/inspiration.

Award-winning sites that aren't necessarily practical, but very interesting reference/inspiration.

Good reference, lots of polished micro-designs and visual trends.

Decent quality free textures across a range of surface types. Good free option.

Large, well-maintained library. Quality varies, but it covers most use cases and everything is free.

The holy grail, backlinks, plugins, graph view, the works. Stores everything locally as plain files.

Typed routes with automatic OpenAPI docs. Convenient, fast enough, and pleasant to write.

Animate CSS properties, SVG, and DOM attributes with a clean API. Small and gets out of your way.

Definite go-to for complex sequenced animations. Not too light, but handles everything that simpler libraries can't.

Rough approximation of how much energy a page uses per visit. Interesting tidbit, though not a precise measurement.

Merges the database and application server into one. Interesting to consider for real-time/multiplayer stuff.

Physically-based textures for 3D and rendering work. Narrower selection than some but consistent quality.

Collection of interesting modern fonts of various styles.

Visual programming environment for interactive graphics and installations. Very steep learning curve, but high ceiling.

Crack and analyse classical ciphers. Super useful for most classical cryptography, and bruteforcing.

Write/share fragment shaders in-browser. Good for learning, experimenting, or just browsing magic.

Interesting/entertaining collection of subvsersive UI designs by Soren Iverson.

Define schema, generate a type-safe client, then build without SQL. Heavier than Drizzle but better for DX.

Electron but without shipping a full browser. Way smaller, cross-platform, and better native access.

Web-based sorted list of various OSINT tools. Decent reference for seeing what's out there.

Ships zero JS by default, and supports mix-and-match of any other framework. Very strong middle ground between 11ty and a full framework.

List of CMS tools by type, language, and licence. Good overview of the options.

Competitive programming resources targeted at USACO, but good as a general foundation.

Neural-network driven alpha keying tool handling motion and transparency, and unmixing fore/background.

Local photogrammetry using gaussian splats to reconstruct 3D scenes from images.

Skeleton components automatically generated from snapshots of the actual DOM elements. Doesn't seem perfect, but pretty interesting.

Some very very impressive creative work on their portfolio, great inspiration/reference for experimental bits.

Super fast tailored .gitignore templates for various languages/frameworks

Global crowdsourced database of Wi-Fi networks and cellular towers.

Generate aesthetic shareable images of code snippets.

Live regex testing environment with explanations plus useful tidbits.

Java-based creative coding platform, good for learning/prototyping/visualisation.
