Whether you are a full-time developer innovating each day or a hobbyist coder - here are some great Chrome extensions that can help you increase productivity and make coding fun.
Let's dive in :
React Developer Tools
The first one on our list is a must-have for any React developer out there. This extension adds two new tabs in your Chrome DevTools : "Profiler" and "Components".
As we know, everything in React JS is a component. With this extension, the Components tab shows you the root React components that are rendered on the page with the subcomponents that they render. By selecting any component in the tree, we can inspect and edit its current state in the panel on the right.
The Profiler tab allows you to record the performance.
DailyDev
The second one on our list will help you get all the latest developer news at one place. This extension will get you a feed of the trending developer news personalized for you in a new tab. You just have to open a new tab in your browser and all the news with your loved content from - Smashing Magazine, web.dev and 400+ sources listed there making it a must-have tool for any developer innovating the future.
Some mind-blowing features :
- Latest trending news to help you stay updated.
- Discussion session to allow you to discuss with other developers.
- Earn ranks by reading valuable articles adding a gamified experience.
Responsive Viewer
As a website developer you must have come across a situation where you had been working day and night to get every component in position and render out perfectly. But, then get to know in future that maybe for some of the audience having some random off-brand device the page isn't responsive.
To make your innovation inclusive it should be fully responsive for nearly all screens possible. Be that for futuristic 8k television screens or a little tiny Samsung Galaxy Folds.
Responsive Viewer comes to the rescue. Doesn't matter what language you are using it shows multiple screens available in just one view. With this, now you don't have to worry about testing the design or the functionality with each device. We can test all the devices simultaneously.
Hope these extensions helps you increase your efficiency and certainly give you more time to be creative.
