Ask HN: Favorite (Web) Developer Tool?

4 pointsby jeffreyqover 2 years ago
Curious to know more about what tools others use for web development.<p>In particular I&#x27;ve found that I&#x27;ve been spending a good deal of time manually mocking out data in my local environment for work. The process of reverse engineering which database models&#x2F;tables need to be populated with specific records in order to render the frontend (React) components that I want has been tedious.<p>Does anybody know of a &quot;full stack&quot; web dev tool that could help with the visualization of this reverse engineering process?

You can use Postman to mock an endpoint in a minute or two. Tell it what JSON you want it to return and it&#x27;ll host it for you at a real URL. Abstracts away the database completely.<p>Other than that, I use IntelliJ every day and love its power.
