Web Dev Tools

Htmlboilerplates.com

Is a site that really deserves some praise, and a donation if you can afford it, as it provides the very useful service of allowing users to generate their own HTML boilerplates. Users can simply visit the site, toggle the features to use in generating the boilerplate, and then simply copy and paste the generated template into a file of their chosing. This service was once very popular during the days when writing your own html files by hand were common, but it still is a great way to kickstart an html project.
