I thought I would start this thread for us to share useful apps/tools to help with web design.
A few to get us started:
Squoosh
Squoosh is an image compression web app that allows you to dive into the advanced options provided by various image compressors.
Counter
Simple Web Analytics - Web Analytics made simple and therefore privacy-friendly.
Easy to set up, just one line of js (The same line for all sites), easy to use dashboard. Not indepth analytics, but enough to get an idea of where visitors are coming from.
Responsively
Preview all target screens in a single window side-by-side, brings down your development time!
Thanks for the share @richards , and I’d like to add to it as well. Also can you post if the apps you have listed are for PC or MAC or both? That might help as well.
Along with Responsively app, there’s also Polypane which does basically the same thing, but has a price and I think is just a little better. Works with Windows, Mac and Linux.
Pixelmator and it’s Pro version are great image editors for Mac.
Colorslurp is a great little tool for color picking, mixing, etc. for Mac.
I’ve been messing with changing theme colors for about a week now, tried various methods that didn’t work at all, and now just tried the Builder for the 3rd time I think lol and it works with a CDN, but I’d prefer to have the files local. Any way to do that or are we stuck using a CDN?
I guess for me I’m worried that they may change some default BS code that I don’t want changed so I’d rather just have only the colors setup and leave the rest out since they do the whole entire file of all the settings. I’d rather pick and choose my poisons lol.
lol ok @richards will try this other way with the design file you gave. I can’t get the “npm” method to finish for some reason. I can get all the way to the part where I’m supposed to type “npm run dist”, but it doesn’t do anything. I can see the colors were changed in the bootstrap.css file, but not in the bootstrap.min.css file so not sure what’s up there.
hmm, is the core files from 5.1.3? When I did as the project said to do, it messes up my project as if it strips all the colors and realigns everything when I choose that new theme lol. Any idea what I might have done wrong?
P.S. The colors are correct in the file so that part worked, just doesn’t pass it on to the site at all.
