Introduction

In this rapidly evolving tech world, we see lots of dev tools getting launched every day. Most of them aren’t great that can run in the long run but few of them are actually that can enhance the developing process. These tools can quickly help enhance productivity, efficiency, and the overall quality of their work.

I believe if there are tools that can help me in my workflow, I am open to trying. As this tool can help in increasing my productivity. We are going to look into some tools from codesearch to AI code-writing tools.

So, Let’s dive into the tools that can help in maximizing your coding prowess.

Documatic

A search engine for your codebase; Ask Documatic a question and find relevant code and insights in seconds

Documatic is a code search engine that queries through your codebase to find the related code block. It uses machine learning under the hood to find patterns in the code. It is quite important to understand the codebase before writing a single line of code. The search engine can help you in understanding the codebase.

Documatic understands natural language so you don't need to be an expert to make a query. As per your query, it will fetch you the code block from the codebase. Rather than being a normal code search tool, it also identifies a pattern in the codebase. You can also perform different tasks such as dependency mapping and generating a codebase report.

You can use documatic on the web, through your VS Code, and from Slack.

Docz

It's never been easier to document your things!

Documentation is the original source of knowledge about the tool and it later extends to form articles and videos on a specific topic. So, having well-structured and formatted documentation is necessary. At the same time, building documentation from scratch can take a lot of time. That’s why using a tool/framework to create documentation is preferred. Docz is one such tool to create a documentation site.

It is quite good-looking and has support for light and dark themes. Building a beautiful website using Docz is easy. The documentation is written in markdown which is the preferred way of writing the text for most of the developers.

Supabase

Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative for building secure and performant Postgres backends with minimal configuration.

If you follow my blog, then you definitely know this tool. It is one of the best tools that I discovered in the past year. I almost use this tool in every project without any hesitation. Supabase is a powerful backend-as-a-service platform that allows developers to easily build scalable web applications with serverless functions and a PostgreSQL database.

It has been my go-to tool for Authentication since I first used it. It supports Email, Phone, and 17 major third-party OAuth providers. It has a free tier that is best for building individual projects. You can always upgrade to another version whenever you need.

Their support system is quite fast and efficient. I have mostly used their free tier and never had a problem with the support system.

GitPod

Gitpod is an open-source development platform for remote development. Accelerate your team's developer experience, remote collaboration, and security - to ship new products faster and more securely.

This is available as a Chrome extension and as a stand-alone website. I mostly used the Chrome extension on GitHub. It provides me with an online editor in the form of VS Code. I use this extension to review code with changes. It has the full support of VS Code such as extension and theme.

Gitpod offers features like code navigation, intelligent code completion, and integrated terminal access. It also supports collaboration, allowing multiple developers to work on the same project simultaneously, with real-time code synchronization and shared development environments.

Postman

Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

Postman is an API development and testing tool. It allows developers to design, document, and test APIs easily. With Postman, you can make HTTP requests, view responses, and create automated test suites to ensure the proper functioning of your APIs.

Conclusion

All these tools are awesome tools that can help in boosting your productivity. I have been using these tools to enhance my productivity. I will definitely recommend you try these and integrate them into your workflow. Find what’s best suits your workflow.

I hope this article has helped you know some tools that will help in your workflow. Thanks for reading the article.
