Web development tools help developers to build a website or an application easier and faster. It simplifies the development process from design to coding and anything in between.

As you might have noticed, web technologies are changing rapidly, especially in the front-end. Every year, there will always be a new web technology released. This is also the case with web development tools.

With so many new tools out there the web development workflow is also changing. It’s getting easier and faster. We, developers, should take advantage of these tools to work more efficiently.

Useful Web Development Tools That You Need to Try

In this post, I’m not going to show you the essential web development tools that you already know such as code editor, git, and popular frameworks. Instead, I will list some useful and unique tools that you might not know yet.

Most of these tools (if not all) are free to use. You can try them all and decide if they are fit your projects or not. So, let’s check them out!

1. Quarkly (visual app builder on React)

At a glance, Quarkly is just like another no-code website builder that helps designers build a website. Well, in fact, it’s more than that.

Quarkly is a free tool created both for web developers and web designers. It helps not only designers but also developers to build websites and web applications. The workflow speed is faster at that, all the way from design to deployment.

You’re not only able to design dragging and dropping elements, but also edit, customize, and manage the generated codes with the built-in code editor.

You can add logic, connect external APIs and add any codes that can’t be generated by the visual builder. Not only that, but you can even add npm packages to your project.

This way, you have full control over the generated code and can maintain the code quality. It’s not something you can do in regular website builders.

The code generated by Quarkly is based on React, a popular javascript library. So, if you already know React,  you’re going to feel at home in Quarkly.
