Cross-Platform Tooling

Browser Plugins

There are tons of helpful browser plugins out there and it might be a matter of personal taste what you like to have installed. The following are explicitly worth to mention:

  • DarkReader - for developers enjoying dark-mode (and get eye-cancer from white backgrounds)

  • TamperMonkey - even though not recommended to be always on for security reasons this is the ultimate swiss-army-knife of every web-developer.

  • FF only: Simple Tab Groups - only for power-users that need to manage 100+ open tabs in multi-tenancy contexts (project A, project B, timetracking, travel, etc.).

For the record: HttpsEverywhere is dead since now there is native browser support for HTTPS only.

Draw Diagrams

To draw diagrams for your project or for blueprints in devonfw, we recommend the following cross-platform tools:

  • draw.io is a powerful generic vector painting program (similar to visio). You can get a free open-source edition for your desktop from here.

  • PlantUML is a great tool that can render UML diagrams from simple markup that can be easily managed in git or other version-control systems together with your code. Its simplicity allows branching and merging unlike other greedy binary UML data-formats.

Git Client

If you are looking for a git client that works cross-platform we recommend to use Fork.
