Hi, Not sure if this has been done before, but I think it will be a good idea to get a list of (free) online tools available that help application development. By 'online tools', I mean in-browser applications which require no extra downloads. I always seem to stumble upon cool applications (often after I needed it), so I thought it would be handy for everyone if there was a centralised list, making it easier to see what's available. I'll start off with a few I use:

Feel free to add any useful tools, as long as they can help in developing applications.
