Well today's tip is a new one, even for me! Thanks to a tip from Matt Wise I recently discovered something called DevToys! As they describe it: a swiss army knife for developers.
Indeed DevToys (small footprint, open source) is a joy for us developers. It contains all kinds of things that I would normally have to do a Google search for first, things like Base64 en/decoding, JSON formatting, generating Lorem Ipsum text, testing regex, etc.

Just before writing this article, I had a need to quickly compare two text files. I fired up DevToys, dropped the text in the Text Diff tool and voilá, found the missing link.
I've also used the JSON validator a few times in the past week already and have been generating dummy Lorem Ipsum text like crazy.
So this tip really was brought to you by Matt, thanks Matt! 💪
