Dev Notes #1 - Bookmarklet
I got tired of my colleague, *cough Buz, asking me for links and tools that I find and use while working, so I've decided to create posts where I list these things for future reference. Enough talk lets get to it.
Bookmarklet is a very important piece of my development. Lately, I've been using the following:
-
ReCSS
Super B tool, used to reload your css without refreshing the whole page. It's very useful if you want to change a website in production that you can't run locally.
-
Firebug Lite
If you develop websites in different browsers like I do (webkit nightly build), and can't live without Firebug; Firebug Lite is the way to go. It isn't as powerful as the Firebug add-on but it does a good job if you need to use the console or check for applied styles. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the css on the fly.
-
Design
A very cool set of design tools. It includes grid, rule, unit and crosshair. A must have if you are designing in the browser.
-
jQuerify
As expected, it includes jQuery to the page. Very useful if you want to use firebug's console and jQuery selectors.
-
Favelet Suite
If you are a fan of the web developer toolbar add-on for Firefox, you will love this tool.
-
xRay
It displays CSS information of a selected object.
-
Microformats
Every time I markup a page, I try to use microformats as much as possible. This bookmarklet gives you a list of vCard on the page. Unfortunately, it doesn't display any other micro data.
If I missed any other bookmarklet, feel free to leave a comment with the link to it.
