    Shottr is a free macOS screenshot app with scrolling screenshots, OCR, annotation and measurement instruments.
    So many over the years, but most recently? Shottr. It's this tiny app that makes it really fast to capture and annotate screenshots with tons of options and hotkeys. Obviously this doesn't make the coding go any faster, but it's so much easier to communicate with clients and QA. My favorite feature is the counter tool, where each click adds a new circle with a sequential number inside. So I can be like "click the buttons in this order" [click, click, click] https://imgur.com/a/Zh5QXLR.

    Specifically as far as regular expressions are concerned, I've gotten a lot of mileage out of regexr.

  5. Extensive regex tester and debugger with highlighting for PHP, PCRE, Python and JavaScript.
    Thanks. I've been using regex101.com when I need to test something quick, but I'll check that out. Once you get familiar with how regular expressions work, you'll wonder how any dev gets by without that knowledge.
