here's my pile of links and resources of things i use and like! ranges from random silly things to play around with to various creative tools. yippee!

WEB DEV RESOURCES:

visual studio code the code editor i use! helps me code offline before tossing it up onto neocities. has a marketplace with plugins to let you do more with it like live previews! (my entire coding experience relies on this LMAO)
w3schools The one and only. just about everyone with even a fleeting interest in html has been here, but never hurts to share! LOTS of tutorials on like everything under the sun. helped me A Lot
css tricks helped me IMMENSELY with the css for my website. particularly with learning how to wrangle flexbox. it still confuses me tbh But resources like this help <3
tinkerbell mouse effect the sparkle trail effect i use on this website!

VARIOUS USEFUL TOOLS:

zebirdbrain tutorials a channel dedicated almost entirely to toon boom tutorials! VERY VERY useful, helped me get my footing with the program with ease!!!
lipsum generator a generator of placeholder lorem ipsum text. helps me when i need to preview how things look with a handful of text but have nothing to input at the moment!
4k video downloader (i use the base version, i have yet to try downloader+) what i use to save videos! i've used this as a multi animator project host to save participants' parts, to save videos for work when we had no other way to access promotional material, etc. quick and easy! has a 10 video per day limit for the free version
waifu2x tool for scaling up images! i use this one a lot for scaling up icons so they don't look all crunchy
blockbench low poly 3d modeling / texturing program! i like to use it for making minecraft skins :)c
postimage the image host i use for things that aren't neocities! easy to use, just drag in your images and it provides you hotlinks. you can sign up and make folders for organization purposes too!
