Comments and Reviews
Codepen has a really big library of code snippets to get ideas from
My favorite tool on codepen right now is the projects tool. I needed to make a multipage ecommerce front-end framework written with a SCSS / PUG compiler that live-reloads changes instantly. After wasting too many hours trying to set up webpack / flavor of the day tool codepen works off the bat.
