  • Lighthouseβ€Šβ€”β€Šan open-source, automated tool for improving the performance, quality, and correctness of your web apps.
  • JavaScript Errors Notifierβ€Šβ€”β€Šnotifies you about JavaScript errors by icon in toolbar bar or notification popup.

  • Redux dev toolsβ€Šβ€”β€ŠRedux DevTools for debugging application’s state changes.

  • xdebugβ€Šβ€”β€Ša must have for everyone who’s debugging, profiling and tracing PHP code with Xdebug.
