I found this random Hash tools pretty useful while I was working on a course. Sometimes you have to mock up some hashes or create a super secure password. This tool is pretty flexible.

Online GIF Tools
shorts |
So many GIF (pronounced like the peanut butter) tools on this site. I like that you can make a sprite from a GIF, do the reverse or modify any of the properties like playback speed.
xBar
shorts |
This looks pretty useful. Add just about anything you want including bash scripts into your menu bar. Code responsibly though.
Snowtrack
shorts |
It's still an early version, but it's a heck of a project. Version tracking for graphic files.
Astro
shorts |
It's a little too early to tell, but this might just be the next big thing. Create a website with a simple observable that waits for your actions and only loads Scripts when absolutely necessary. The static site generator of the future. It's definitely got legs.

Chrome now has a new CSS Grid editor. Seems like it's catching up to others, but that should help with Grid Adoption.

The other day, I mentioned Astro as being the potential next great thing. Here's a video that shows you why. Not mine, but from a podcast. https://go.raybo.org/4cRg

SolidJS
shorts |
A React Killer? We'll see, although solid has a lot going for it in terms of performance, I think the problem is the similarity to React. Why would someone switch from React...for a few k or milliseconds. However. Only time will tell, but still keep an eye out on this one.
JS is Weird
shorts |
This is such a fun test ( I can't believe I'm saying that). Don't worry about the score (srsly, don't try to get a good score), but try to think about what's happening. I think the best part is the explanations at the end of the test.
Animista
shorts |
Another one of those cool sites that helps you build animations with a modern interface. Get the animation and code after you play.
JS1024
shorts |
This is an annual event for JS developers who love pain (I mean a challenge). Try to make something cool in less than 1024 bytes (1k). It's like when someone asks me if I want to get up at 5am to go to the beach and see the sunrise (no thanks). I feel like I have enough of a hard time doing anything in infinite K.
