void shareImage() { Share.shareFiles(['path/to/image.jpg'], text: 'Check out this image!'); }
Step 4: Share Multiple Files
You can also share multiple files at once. This can include images, PDFs, videos, and documents. Here is how you do it:
void shareMultipleFiles() { Share.shareFiles( [ 'path/to/image.jpg', 'path/to/document.pdf', 'path/to/video.mp4', 'path/to/another_image.png', ], text: 'Here are some files for you!' ); }
Benefits of Sharing Multiple Files in Flutter

This feature is essential for many apps, making it a valuable skill for Flutter developers. Use the steps above to add file-sharing capabilities to your app and enhance your users' experience.

So as a kid I once found an old file sharing site that was throwing out these vintage Godzilla papercraft books (Not the ones from 2014, the ones from 1999), and I took the time to make a GIGANTIC Mothra, but now in the year of 2024, it's only really talked about by Vintage Godzilla Collectors like Monster Island Buddies which... hurts. I wished I had those pdf files back, I’d kill to do another one *flutters my eyelashes*

thoughts swarming with levi who’s up late on his laptop in the living room trying to finish some of his work files to send off to erwin before the weekend.
his hair is slightly dishevelled, his white button up is now three buttons down with his tie neatly folded to the side, and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. his grey eyes concentrating hard as they flip through each pdf document he’s written up.
he had been up late for most of the week leaving you to sleep alone. honestly you found it fine but then you’d wake up not seeing your lover in bed and would walk into the living room to see he’s already taken off to work.
so you grow a little needy for his attention. just a bit lovesick. you wake up again in the night to find he’s still awake.
half asleep, you trudged into the living room where levi has been sitting for hours after dinner. you didn’t really care if your hair was a mess or you were only wearing a big t-shirt that ran just over your thighs.
levi heard you walk down the hallway of your shared apartment but didn’t bother to turn around. he opted you were still probably in a rem sleep looking for water. his fingers tapping lightly at the keyboard again.
your arms wrapped around his shoulders suddenly. surprising him as he paused at the keyboard. your sweet smell of shampoo told him you showered before bed (one he likely didn’t hear or was offered to join you in).
“levi. come to bed” you groggily said, dipping your head on top of his as if it was momentarily a pillow. your eyes fluttered shut.
Levi sighed patting your arm. he really needed to get these documents finished. if he gets them done, he’d have the rest of the weekend with you.
“go to sleep without me. I’ll be in there soon” he softly remarked, he hugely disliked about taking necessary time like sleep away from you. even when you argued you’d wait up for him.
“vi, come to bed” you were persistent. even half asleep you still managed to argue with him.
levi sighed, also exhausted and not willing to fight.
“i just miss you” you added a little bit pleadingly. truthfully that part just blurted out due to the drowsiness of waking up.
but it worked it’s charm. levi’s heartstrings already being pulled on, who was he to deny what you were feeling. his arms manoeuvred around your body carefully, placing you in his lap with your feet over to the side. his eyes scanning over your relaxed face as he cradled you, his hand holding your head against his shoulder.
he moved strands of your hair out of your face. careful to not prod at you. you snuggled closer to him, inhaling the comforting smell that radiated off of him.
“can we stay like this for a little while” you begged, eyes still close as sleep still had a sway over your body.
levi’s eyes softened. maybe you were acting like a little baby wanting to be held and given attention but levi couldn’t bring himself to reject you. he wasn’t necessarily physically affectionate but at times likes this he would naturally allow his body to make decisions. pulling you closer he pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead.
“okay” he whispered, basking in the smells of your shampoo and body soap.
a couple hours later you were asleep in his arms, mouth slightly parted as you snored softly. with one arm freed levi managed to complete his work. he checked his watch, 4:45am it read back.
he sighed, relieved. he looked down at you and without a second thought picked you up from the under your legs. both of you heading back to bed where levi was determined to snuggle close to you to make up for the lost time.

Confinement Syndrome - Stiles Stilinski
Tumblr media
word count: 2817 warnings: swearing, panic attacks request: 40 with Stiles 😍 this is so something he would call Lydia about prompt #40 - “Hey, you okay? Whats going on?” “She won’t stop crying, and I don’t know what to do!”
The Dread Doctors have proven to be a real pain in the ass, as Stiles had so lightly put it during the pack meeting at Scott’s house.
“It’s… it’s like you can’t even breathe” Malia was explaining her own experience with them, though it wasn’t like it was a real sunny moment she was sharing.  “I felt so powerless, I couldn’t do a damn thing to help Tracy and I… well I never want to feel like that again”
(y/n’s) mind wandered to what it must feel like, to be a strong werecoyote and to suddenly have that completely shredded from you.  Malia always did her best to help, and her assets as a coyote were what she relied on to do that.  (y/n) was only human, so she knew all to well the fragility of her life, not to mention her bones.  But right now that was the last thing she wanted to be thinking about.
“Really?” Kira chriped in.  “I’ve felt the complete opposite… as if I’m learning control for the first time and that I’ve been completely taken over by the kitsune itself.  Like we aren’t one anymore, like we’re both fighting for control” She said.  (y/n) shuddered, turning away to hide the fact.  Stiles, who stood next to her, looked over to her, his expression silently asking if she was okay.
‘Don’t worry about it’ She mouthed back, so the werewolves couldn’t listen in.  He faced his attention back to Kira as she continued to speak, but his hand reached for (y/n’s) hidden behind him.  Her fingers linking between his with ease.
As Scott began to talk about his asthma attack in the elevator just days ago, Stiles’ hand squeezed onto hers.  She thanked him silently.
Since (y/n) had moved to Beacon Hills last year, her and Stiles had been close friends.  They hadn’t even crossed paths until her name wound up on the Deadpool, and him and Scott had found her fighting for her life against Garrett and his twisted girlfriend.  While (y/n) turned out to only be human, she had a family history of banshees, so she carried the gene.
“Any ideas? I’ll take anything at this point” Scott sighed, slumping down at the kitchen table.  (y/n) felt bad for him in this moment, the alpha always tried to protect the entirety of Beacon Hills, and right now he was clearly feeling beat.
“The frequency” (y/n) said quietly, earning a very puzzled look from Scott.  “It’s how they run… how they’re able to do the things they do with the electrical currents, like in Eichen” She explained.  “I don’t know what they are, or how that works, but I think it’s how they communicate, how the overpower things”
“Yeah” Lydia nodded her head, understanding what she was saying.  “If we can throw that off, we could maybe take that away from them” She thought allowed.
“Like kicking them when they’re down?” Malia asked, and the girls nodded back at her.
“That makes sense” Scott finally got it.  “How do we throw off their frequency though?”
“Easy, overload it” Lydia said,
“Sound waves” (y/n) snapped her fingers, pointing to the banshee.  “We use audio files of you…”
“… and then surround them with it…” Lydia finished (y/n’s) thought.  “That could work!”
“You think?” The human girl smiled, glad that she’d helped with the plan.
“Lydia, Malia, you get the recordings” Scott said.
“Why me?” Malia whined.
“You’re the only one who can tolerate it” He answered, and she wanted to argue further, but it made too much sense.  “Kira and I will figure out how to find them, I’ll call Liam tonight and ask him to come searching with us” Scott said, thinking through each aspect of the plan.  “(y/n) and Stiles, you figure out how we switch up the frequency”
The two looked at each other, (y/n) pulling her hand out of Stiles’ as she smiled at him awkwardly.
“We’ll meet back here tomorrow, shoot for noon?”
Everyone nodded collectively in agreement.
“You want to get going then? Maybe we can get to a bookstore or something  for research?” Stiles offered as the two headed for the door.
“What’re you eighty? Why can’t we just google?” (y/n) responded.  Stiles shrugged his shoulders.
“Yeah we could just go back to my place” He suggested.  “You could stay the night, i-if you wanted.  Then we could just meet up with the pack together and-”
“That sounds fine” She said, ending his rambling as they got into the jeep.  “But could we stop at my house then to pick up some things?”
“Yeah-yeah of course” Stiles stammered out in response.
The trip to (y/n’s) didn’t last more than five minutes, filling her backpack with the necessities.  Clothes to sleep in, and change into for tomorrow.  Toothbrush, deodorant, phone charger.  That was about it.
“So I was thinking we start with getting all the research printed then going through it and trying to track down where we can get the kind of speakers that can carry the intensity of a banshee scream” (y/n) was explaining her ideas to Stiles as soon as they walked into his bedroom.
“Sounds good”
“Also, we’ll look super prepared when we go to Scott’s” She added with a sheepish grin.  Stiles chuckled at that.
“Good.  Go A team!” Stiles said, holding his hand up for her to high five, but she shook her head.
“We aren’t celebrating over this” She said, stifling her giggles as she pushed past him to get to his computer.
“Fine.  But we’re still A team” Stiles said, sprawling onto his bed to do his own research through his phone.
It must’ve been an hour of mumbles between the two, printing off sheet after sheet of papers that (y/n) felt would be necessary, until something in particular caught her eye.
“Hey… Stiles…” She called for him softly, unable to tear her eyes away from the laptop screen.
“Yeah?” He got up to walk over to her.
“There is a book” She told him, pointing to the screen.  “On the Dread Doctors, by…” Her eyes scanned over the page.  “T.R McCammon”
Stiles’ eyes squinted as he read over the page she’d pulled up.  “Is it… reliable?”
“Only one way to find out, yeah?”
“You mean you want to go buy this?” He asked incredulously.  “Didn’t I say we need to go to a bookstore?”
“Don’t be such a grandpa” She mumbled, the back of her hand slapping his arm.  “I’ll print the pdf” She giggled at Stiles’ inability to process modern technology.  She was already printing out a copy.  “I could probably finish this tonight”
“Are you serious?” Stiles asked, looking over at all the sheets currently being stacked on his printer’s tray.  “You’re paying me for that ink” He grumbled.
“Okay” She shrugged.
“I was kidding.  And there’s no way you’re reading that all tonight” He said, wandering over the the sheets and flipping through them curiously.  “They’re double sided!”
“I’m aware, Stiles.  I’m saving paper” She rolled her eyes.  The boy threw his hands in the air.
“(y/n/n), it’s already ten o’clock, you’re not going through the whole thing tonight.  You’ll be up till the morning”
“I’m okay with that” She shrugged.
“(y/n)-”
“People are getting hurt, Stiles” She said seriously, looking away from the computer and back up at him now.  “I can handle staying up past my bedtime” She said, then got up from the chair to go collect her twenty-some pages.  Stiles sighed, knowing he wouldn’t be able to talk her out of it.
(y/n) took her spot on the bed, getting comfortable with a pen in one hand for notes and a highlighter between her lips just in case.
“Are you gonna sit with me and keep me company?” She asked Stiles after a few minutes of being by herself.
Stiles had just been standing there, trying not to stare at her, but it was getting kind of hard nowadays.  The boy nodded, propping himself up next to her on the mattress.
“You just want me here to ask me questions on big words” He said with a goofy grin that earned him a smile.
“Maybe” She responded softly.
And she did ask hima  few things, as well as run a few ideas by him as she scribbled down notes and highlighted certain areas.  She was taking it very seriously, each page taking her longer to read through than the last.  Until eventually it didn’t matter that Stiles kept his eyes trained on her breathtaking features, because she was so captured by the words.
Stiles fell asleep by midnight, and she wasn’t even half way through it by that point.  Not that (y/n) minded, his head had fallen onto her shoulder and his soft snores were something that made her chest flutter with adoration.
But that was when things got difficult.
The reading was getting intense, and the further she went, the easier the picture in her mind became, until it was so realistic that she just couldn’t stop.  Because she was certain that at any moment the Doctors were going to come to get her, after her own mutated genes.  The image was crystal clear.  (y/n) was practically trapped by the book.
She didn’t even know she was shaking until Stiles began to stir and woke up because of it.
“(y/n)?” He mumbled, clearly confused.  “How long was I- O my God you’re crying” He sat up straight as soon as he’d noticed, but she didn’t say or do anything, just kept on reading as she trembled and tears fell down her cheeks.  “(y/n), hey, seriously stop reading now”
She barely even showed a sign of life if it weren’t for her tears.
“I’m serious (y/n), stop reading”
A small gasp escaped her lips, but it was only as a result of her crying.  Stiles began to shake her shoulders, snapping his fingers in front of her face, anything to direct her attention elsewhere, but it wasn’t working.
Finally, he gave up and called the one person he figured would be good with this sort of thing.  They picked up after a couple rings, sounding only slightly annoyed from being called at one in the morning.
“Hey, you okay?” Lydia’s voice asked, wondering why the hell Stiles would be calling at this hour.  “What’s going on?”
“It’s (y/n)” He answered quickly, sounding panicked.  “She won’t stop crying, and I don’t know what to do!”
“Oh my God… what’d you do to the poor girl?” The banshee sighed.
“Nothing! She was just reading this book thing about the Dread Doctors and just- I don’t really know I fell asleep-”
“Typical of you to leave all the work to her”
“Not now” He muttered.  “But she’s shaking and crying and it’s like, it’s like she’s in a trance and I don’t know how to help her just tell me how to help her”
“Well maybe start by taking away the book” Lydia stated calmly.  Stiles did so, reaching out and practically ripping the pages from her hands.  The girl’s eyes looked up to his, still wet with tears and there were trails on her cheeks.  Her breathing quickened, but she still didn’t say anything.
“Okay I think that worked” Stiles near whispered into the phone.
“Good, now… maybe treat it like a panic attack?”
“How the hell do I do that?” The boy whisper screamed.
“I don’t know! You’ve had them before, you figure it out!” Lydia replied defensively.
“Fine, I’ll figure it out on my own” Stiles answered, before hanging up on her and tossing her phone to the side.  “(y/n), hey, can you hear me?”
He got onto the bed in front of her, sitting on his knees as she stared at him.  Her head shakily nodded.
“I-” She took in a sharp breath.  “I feel like I-I can see them” Her voice came out in whimpers and Stiles’ heart broke right into two.
“There’s nothing here, it’s just me” He assured her, reaching his hands out to set on her shoulders.
“But I-I just f-feel them, like they’re everywhere” The tear flow continued on and Stiles was about ready to burn that pdf printout.
“Nothing is here” Stiles whispered.  “I need you to breathe”
“I can’t I-”
“(y/n)” Stiles spoke sternly.  “Breathe, in and out”
“Stiles I can’t-” She panted again, shutting her eyes in an effort to at least stop the crying.  “I can’t do this I- I can’t help them not like this-”
“Don’t think about that right now” He said softly, realizing his hands had been caressing over her arms involuntarily to try to soothe her.  He wasn’t all too sure if it was working, but he didn’t stop.  “Think about something else”
“How am I-”
“Just try” He pleaded.  “Try for me, find something else to focus on”
(y/n’s) eyes opened, red and sad and flickering between his.
“It-it’s n-not working” She sniffled, voice hiccuping.
Stiles gaze wandered from her tear filled (y/e/c) eyes down to her trembling pink lips.  Quickly snapping his line of sight back to his eyes, he wondered if his last ditch effort idea was even a good one.  But we know what they say about desperate times.
His hands released her arms to gently cup her face, and without a second thought he tugged the girl closer to him, slanting his lips over hers.  (y/n) squeaked with surprise, but didn’t try to push him away whatsoever, so it must’ve worked on some level.  He let his thumbs swipe tenderly over her cheeks to get rid of the wetness.  After he felt her let out a soft and steady sigh through her nose, he pulled away from her, removing his hands from her face and looking at her worriedly.
“How’d you know that’d work?” She whispered, no longer sounding panicked, but he could tell that she was still scared on some level.
“I… didn’t” He responded, chuckling nervously and rubbing the back of his neck.  “Sorry”
“It’s okay” She responded maybe too quickly.  “Thank you, I mean” (y/n) spoke almost under her breath, even though he was sitting just inches in front of her.  “That was… um… terrifying”
“I’m just glad it’s over.  It was terrifying to watch” He said, getting up off the bed, and placing the stack of papers she’d been going through clear on the other side of the room on his desk.  “We’ll worry about that all tomorrow, you need sleep” He told her.  (y/n) nodded in agreement.
If she was being honest with herself, she could still feel his velvety chapped lips on hers.
Stiles began to head for the door, shutting off the lights, and (y/n) stiffened instantaneously.
“Wait- Stiles” She called, sitting up straighter on his bed.  He turned back to her, silently asking what she needed.  “Can you… will you stay up here? Tonight?” She spoke slowly.  “Not on the couch?”
He smiled gently at her, closing the door and heading back to the bed.
“Thanks” (y/n) mumbled as they laid down across from one another, her eyes staring at him with a soft sort of intensity.
“Mhm o’course” He mumbled sleepily, pulling the covers over the both of them.  His eyes were shut as his head hit the pillow, but (y/n) was still looking at him.
“Stiles?” She murmured, like a frightened child.
“Mm?” He hummed, his eyes flickering open to see her unsurely watching him.
“Can I come closer?” His lips tugged gently, and without a word he opened his arms up for her.
She’d spent the night in the same bed with the boy before, many times actually.  After Lydia’s parties, late night pack meetings like to night, for movie marathons.  She’d grown accustomed to having him sleeping by her side, but cuddling was a new concept.
Without hesitation, she moved forward and tucked herself underneath his strong arm, pressing her hands to his check and her face against his collarbone.  Stiles held onto her securely, just enough to remind of her safety, but she could still breathe in his sweet scent of cologne.
“Thank you” She whispered.  He rubbed her back gently in response.
“Mhm” He hummed again.  “Get some sleep”
“Goodnight” She yawned, eyes fluttering shut as she pursed her nose into the crook of his neck.  “I love you” She purred without much of  thought of all, meanwhile making Stiles’ heart nearly burst out of his chest.
“Love you too pretty girl” Stiles said carefully.  He could feel her lips pulling into a small smile against his skin, but no more words were shared between the two.
But more words than those they’d let so tiredly slip out were needed.

He decided to lean into this idea and seek out sounds where it was the imperfections that gave them their appeal; that’s where the Lo-Fi Textures Patch Pack comes from.

Artwork Development, Project Announcement & Marketing
Part 1: Artwork Development & Project Announcement.
The past week was initially dedicated to completing artwork for the project, so that promotion can officially begin. While there has been a been mild teaser in the form of a promo video that was posted around a month ago, The name and release date of the project had not been publicly announced.
As stated previously, the decision was made to collaborate with a friend on designing the albums Artwork alongside an artist logo, both of which were completed in a weekend. The design and assembly of the artworks images were done in person, which allowed both of us to communicate creative decisions and ideas as work was being done.
The artwork was made by combining a mix of various public domain Retro futuristic and sci-fi images, and putting them together in photoshop.
Below is an example of some of the images used: 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The process only took a few hours, as the workflow was incredibly smooth, we both listened to some tracks of the album while designing the cover in order to maintain a clear image of what we felt was needed, the final product can be seen below.
Tumblr media
Designing the artist logo was a simple process  that combined by my own face with the famous hijacker D.B. Cooper’s, which can be seen below: 
Tumblr media
I was very pleased with the end results of the album artwork and artist logo. 
Trailer
To announce the project, I made a trailer by putting a 1 minute skit from the album over the albums cover art in iMovie. As the project has not yet been mastered I ran the premaster through an ozone mastering preset. As the only format the trailer will be in is an MP4 on Facebook and Instagram, It seemed suitable considering both websites compression rates (Bossetta, 2018). The trailer can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEbkK4w8yxA&feature=youtu.be
Album announcement
The trailer was uploaded to Facebook and Instagram  and The project was announced on Thursday the 21/03/2019 at around 5.30pm. The choice of date was based on the day being a Thursday a day that studies have shown Facebook engagement rates are 18% higher on (Pagoto et al., 2016). I applied the same logic to Instagram due to the face of them being owned by Facebook
While the Facebook Post was posted on my private profile, and the video was set to ‘public’, the  Instagram video was uploaded to on my artist page alongside a higher resolution image of the album artwork as a seperate post.  and I made the decision to implement paid promotion on Instagram for 48 hours, which cost just over £15. The promotion was fairly successful, with the post garnering 150 likes and over 9,000 views. Screenshots of Facebook and Instagram Posts can be seen below: 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The reception of the announcement of the album has been extremely positive At the time of this post, the Facebook video has almost 600 views whilst the Instagram Video has almost 9,100. Two artists who are rappers and producers have also reached out to me asking to collaborate once the album has been released. 
Over the next month until release promotion will involve the release of a music video, and other teasers that will be made from material that won't make into the full album, and will be posted to Facebook and Instagram.
Production Analysis 3: Sampling
Although Sampling is often utilised and associated within the Hip Hop scene, Its practice is an often divisive in the music industry in regards its use as production technique throughout the music industry, and its integrity has often come into question (Behr, Negus and Street, 2017). Due to some of these concerns, the samples implemented throughout the album are heavily manipulated in order to greatly differentiate from the original sound. 
In this post I will be breaking down how I utilise sampling in two examples, displaying the original sample, then discussing the processes that lead to its use in the end product. One will focus on vocal manipulation whilst the other will focus on the use of a melodic sample. 
The chorus of the track First Contact is comprised of a distorted and manipulated vocal sample which was taken from a short excerpt of a song called ‘This Guys In love With You’. the clip was then pitched down by 6 semitones and the audio was chopped up and rearranged in in Ableton, resulting in a sample with a disjointed uncomfortable feel, when compared to its original format.
After I was happy of how the sample now sounded, I routed the audio through my SP and used its vinyl sim and pitch effects. The Wet audio then had sidechain compression to the drums applied. Its evolution from dry sample to i implementation into the chorus of  the track can be heard here:      
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zww5Kl0FAcs99v_-4sI-BFupgDJuInLy/view?usp=sharing
The use of vocal manipulation  in this example took partial inspiration from how  Flying Lotus implements into his tracks, by ‘chopping’ the samples up drastically, and then using heavy sidechain compression to cause the vocals to duck under the kick drum every time it hits, providing the track with additional dynamic edge that is intended to complement the overall head bopping sound associated with Hip hop (Hodgson, 2011)
The main melody heard throughout the track solace is of a Rhodes sounding instrument, consisting of a two bar loop playing a few keys. While on a superficial level it may seem like a relatively simple melodic implementation, the tone the sample relays thoroughly reflect where the journey of the album is at, as this is the last full length track before the album's final skit. Once the sample was edited into a two bar loop it was routed through the SP-404’s Compressor and Vinyl Sim, which consisted of flutter and vinyl crackle sound effects, the timbre of which added a considerable difference to the original sample. The stages of the samples processing can be heard here:   
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iQOQ6NizrXD03K4jjVLHMMotUJewWNVb?usp=sharing
The warmth and texture of the sample after it was processed can be seen within the DAW, when both images are compared:
Tumblr media
The role of this melodic sample is to serve as a focal point for the rest of the composition to build upon, and work around in various ways for example adding progressive elements throughout that accompany the original melody in a way that adds to the intended atmosphere of the song, which will be heard in the full track.
The next step in the progress of the project is getting each track finished and mixed down so that the pre-masters can be sent off to Imperial.  As the pre-masters for the album have been agreed to be ready by the end of March/start of April. The rest week and a half will be solely focused on finishing the project. Once the pre-masters have been sent future posts will be discussing putting the album onto tape, promotional activity and further analysis of techniques used throughout production, alongside how some of the main concepts have been realised.

Google is always present in one way or another when you are working with Internet or web applications. As applications like Google Chrome are ahead of their time, designers and developers need to analyze how their project is going to function across Google platforms. They need to check how the application may look, what technologies they need to implement, the security issues, and the application’s performance. Google provides users with many efficient Google tools built specifically for that purpose.
Luckily, Google offers access to tools that help any web application to be at its best form. Google’s developer tools are the tools that help developers understand everything about their application’s performance. With these Google tools, you can check designs, real-time editing, JavaScript debugging, and performance measures.
Here is a list of 11 tools offered by Google that are a must to use for designers and developers.
1. Lighthouse:
Tumblr media
Once you have built a website, it is imperative to see if the site performs according to your expectations. You need to check every web page’s performance and functionality. Google provides you with a tool called Lighthouse that aids you in improving the web page’s quality. You can access Lighthouse from the Audits tab. You have multiple options, like desktop and mobile. In addition to this, you can tick boxes to assess performance, SEO, and accessibility factor. With these parameters checked on, the Lighthouse can provide you with a detailed report of its performance and the improvements you can implement.
Lighthouse is an automated and open-source tool that improves the quality of your website’s web pages. You can use Lighthouse for any page of any website, regardless of whether it is publicly accessible or needs authentication. It checks your web pages for parameters like SEO, progressive web applications, performance, and accessibility. You can bring Lighthouse from Chrome’s DevTools, from the command line or as a Node module. You just have to provide Lighthouse with the URL of the web page to run an audit. It provides you with how well the page functions. Each audit execution gives you a reference doc that tells you why an audit is necessary. It also describes how you can fix the errors and problems within your web pages.
2. Polymer:
Tumblr media
The Polymer is another open-source framework from Google made from an open-source Javascript library. It works better to build web applications from web components. Google developers always work hand-in-hand to provide web developers with a library. With Polymer, you can create customized web elements through simplified ways. Polymer offers you with a one-way as well as two-way data binding feature.
The Polymer is known in the world of web-design widely, but the project has expanded its domain to include a collection of libraries, tools, and standards. Polymer comes with a LitElement editor where defining the web elements becomes easy. Whereas, lit-HTML is an HTML template library that developers can use to write the next-generation, top-level HTML templates in JavaScript. In addition to this, Polymer also provides developers with a PWA starter kit. The PWA starter kit is the original Polymer library along with the sets of web components for web application development.
3. Google API Explorer:
Tumblr media
Google offers an extensive range of APIs for developers to implement in their web applications. But, looking for them can get tedious. Hence, you should browse Google APIs Explorer helps you find the right API according to your requirement. It provides you with a long list of APIs through which you have to scroll to see the required API. But instead, you can write the API requirement in the provided search box, and it filters out the required APIs. Each link can take you to their reference page, which describes how to use the selected API.4
4. Flutter:
Tumblr media
Flutter is a tool that can help you build aesthetically appealing websites and web applications. If your focus is on a beautiful looking UI, then you should use Flutter to design your UI. With Flutter, you get customizable widgets that help you build native interfaces of your application in a matter of minutes. It has a layered architecture that enables complete customization. All this results in quickly rendering designs that are expressive and flexible. Flutter uses Dart’s native compilers to compile Native ARM machine code.
If you are a  beginner to Flutter, you can browse through their documentation. They have well-equipped documentation that can take you from creation to installation. The applications built with Flutter can be a delightful experience for a user to use. Flutter provides the applications with Cupertino widgets, rich motion API, smooth scrolling system, and platform understanding.
5. Google GitHub:
Tumblr media
Google GitHub is a platform that allows a user to store and exchange the codes and files. With over 260 repositories to browse and look for, Google has a proud place on the platform. They have provided a search box that you can use to look for your required repository and reach the needed file and the code. This search box cuts down on your time and takes you to your required list of repositories. With this tool, you can build, test, and execute along with code management at the same place. You can develop your Actions and its code, or you can work with the existing codes from the community.
Google GitHub is known all over the world to secure the world’s code. Developers, maintainers, and researchers work together on this tool to secure the world’s software supply chain.
6. Puppeteer:
Tumblr media
While providing a high-level API, Puppeteer is a Node library developed to control headless Chrome over the DevTools protocol. Whatever you can do manually in a browser can be done in Puppeteer. With Puppeteer, you can click screenshots, create PDFs of pages, and crawl a single-page application.  You can also generate pre-rendered content. It also allows automated form submission, UI test, a keyboard input mechanism, and more.
The Puppeteer can help you create an updated and automated testing platform. It is where you can execute your tests in the latest version of the Chrome browser. You can run these tests that use Javascript and browser features. Performance issues can be corrected using a timeline trace that is available with Puppeteer. Also, you can test the extensions that are provided by Chrome.
7. Workbox:
Tumblr media
For building PWA, you can start working with Workbox. Workbox comes with a collection of JavaScript libraries that help you add offline support to the web applications. With Workbox’s guides, you can create a service register file, route the incoming requests, and understand the usage of plugins and bundlers. Workbox can help you analyze your performance offline without any network connection by caching the web app’s files and codes. It has the right runtime caching strategy that makes your web apps work accurately, even on an unstable connection. Features like precaching, caching during runtime, and request routing makes Workbox an essential tool in the world of web app development. The most crucial element of Workbox so far is that offline Google Analytics is also available for use to measure your website’s performance.
8. Codelabs:
Tumblr media
To have a guided tutorial and coding experience, every budding developer and coder should go to Codelabs. The guides on Codelabs provide you the aids in developing a small application. It can also help you extend the functionality of the existing application by adding a new feature. Codelabs is known to improve its user have practical guidance for Google products. The site is structured nicely into categories and events that help you find whatever you want to search.
Among so many code files, it supports Analytics, Android, Assistant, Flutter, Tensor Flow, and Search. You can select one of the options and see the code with which you can quickly develop a small web application. Codelabs can help you build a progressive web application that renders quickly on a slow network. It can have a home screen logo and presents as an excellent, full-screen application experience.
9. Color Tool:
Tumblr media
Color Tool enables a developer to create, exchange, and use the palette while checking the accessibility. A predefined palette from the Material palette can be useful for your applications. You have to select a color and apply it to the primary color scheme. After that, switch to secondary selection and pick a color again. Finally, you can decide the text color for both the schemes. Color Tool is known for providing the developers and designers with a broad range of color selection. They can use these colors in their apps for designing a vibrant interface.
Color tool is also famous for evaluating the legibility of the text for the chosen color scheme. The assessment is conducted based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines focus on the contrast between the text color and the color scheme to help visually impaired people have improved readability.
10. Design Sprints:
Tumblr media
Design Sprints is another Google tool that helps solve problems through designs, prototype development, and having users to test the ideas. It is known to align the teams in a short period with a shared aim. This team has clearly defined goals along with deliverables. Eventually, Design Sprints helps develop a hypothesis, idea prototype, and testing all of it rapidly in a real environment. Originated at Google, it had the vision to encourage UX culture and practicing design leadership within the organization. The resultant framework is a set of flexible methods. The teams are continually working to adapt it according to different organizational structures and goals.
Design Sprints kit helps share the flexible model internally with the Google teams. It is also a repository for design and product development community. This tool is as helpful to beginners as it is to the seasoned developers. The kit includes many  Google tools, templates, recipes, and options to provide your methods.
11. Google DevTools:

Working on the web usually means you will be working with Google in some shape or form. And seeing as Google Chrome is streets ahead of the competition, designers and developers need to think about how their project will work with the browser. How will it look? What technologies does it support, how secure is it and how will it perform?  Fortunately, Chrome provides tools to ensure any site or app will be at its best. DevTools enable designers and developers to gain insight into a web page: you can manipulate the DOM, check CSS, experiment on designs with live editing, debug JavaScript and check performance. (See more about how to use these Google web tools here). But Google offers more than just the browser. It has tools and resources to aid nearly every aspect of your design and development life. Want to know how to improve performance? Lighthouse is here to help. Want to build better performing mobile sites? Then say hello to AMP. Are you looking to build beautiful PWAs? Then Flutter, Material Design and Workbox are ready to step in.  The beauty of using Google tools, resources, libraries and frameworks is that you know they will work well with the Chrome browser – the most popular browser on the planet. For more tools, see our web design tools roundup.  01. Lighthouse Performance is a key factor in the success of a site and Lighthouse is Google’s tool for improving the quality of web pages. So how do you use it and what can it do? In its simplest form, you can run Lighthouse from the Audits tab and choose from a selection of options including desktop or mobile, in addition to tick boxes for performance, accessibility and SEO, to generate a final report with suggested improvements. 02. Polymer Polymer is well-known for its work with web components but the project has now expanded its repertoire to embrace a collection of libraries, tools and standards. What’s included? LitElement is an editor that makes it easy to define web components, while lit-html is an HTML templating library that enables users to write next-gen HTML templates in JS. Plus, you will also find a PWA Starter kit, the original Polymer library and sets of web components.  03. APIs Explorer Google has a vast library of APIs available to developers but finding what you need is no easy task. This is where Google’s APIs Explorer steps in to offer a helping hand. There is a long list that can be scrolled through but, for quicker access, there is a search box to filter the API list. Each entry links to a reference page with more details on how to use the API. 04. Flutter Create beautiful apps with Flutter If you are looking to build good-looking applications for mobile, web and desktop from a single codebase then Flutter could be for you. The site is a complete reference to working with and building with Flutter. Haven’t got a clue what to do?

Also includes a host of resources such as tools, templates, recipes and the option to submit your own method. 11. People + AI Guidebook This guide is the work of the People + AI Research initiative at Google and looks to offer help to those wanting to build human-centred AI products. The comprehensive guidebook is split into six chapters covering user needs, data collection and evaluation, mental models, trust, feedback and graceful failure. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises, worksheets and the tools and resources that are needed to make it happen. 12. Google Assistant Google's Assistant does plenty of assisting This is the Google Assistant’s developer platform, offering a guide on how to integrate your content and services with the Google Assistant. It shows you how to extend your mobile app, present content in rich ways for Search and Assistant, control lights, coffee machines and other devices around the home and build voice and visual experiences for smart speakers, displays and phones. 13. PageSpeed Insights PageSpeed Insights analyses web content and then offers suggestions on how to make it load faster. Simply add a URL, hit the Analyze button and wait for the magic to happen. Check the Docs to get a better insight into how the PageSpeed API works and how to start using it.  14. AMP on Google AMP is Google’s tool for creating fast-loading mobile pages that will (hopefully) get to the top of search rankings. Learn how to create fast, user-first sites, integrate AMP across Google products, use Google AMP Cache to make AMP pages faster and monetise AMP pages with other Google products. 15. Google DevTools There's a lot you can do with DevTools Every designer and developer knows (or at least should know) that Chrome comes with a set of tools built directly into the browser. Chrome's DevTools are ideal for inspecting the elements that make up a page, checking CSS, editing pages on the fly and much more. The Elements tab is the introduction to DevTools. It displays the HTML code that makes up the selected page. Get an insight into the properties of each div or tag from the selected page and start live editing. This is perfect for experimenting with designs. Check the Layout – whether you are using Flexbox or Grid – and take a look at related fonts with examples and examine animations. Elsewhere, you can view and change CSS. The Styles tab on the Elements panel lists the CSS rules being applied to the currently selected element in the DOM Tree. Switch properties on and off (or add new values) to experiment with designs. This is the perfect tool for ensuring that everything works as expected before applying any changes to the live design.  You can also debug JavaScript, optimise website speed and inspect network speed. Here’s a quick tip you can use to immediately speed up your workflow. Head to the Sources tab, click New Snippet and add frequently used code. Name the code snippet and save. Repeat as needed. Now you can grab this code snippet instead of writing it again. Like every good browser, Chrome is constantly evolving and each new release brings new features. Find out what's happening on the Chrome status platform 16. Material Design Material is a vital piece of design kit Development may be seen as Google’s favoured child but, whatever you are making, creating or building, it needs to look good and give the user an experience that makes them want to use it. Material is a more recent addition to the Google stable but is a design system that has matured into a vital piece of design kit. Like any good design system, it has its own set of guidelines, which you need to look at before stepping into the more exciting stuff. Get an overview of how to use different elements, what Material theming is, how to implement a theme and usability guides including accessibility. Elsewhere, there is an insight into Material Foundation, which includes the key areas of design such as layout, navigation, colour, typography, sound, iconography, motion and interaction. Each category reveals its dos and don’ts and where you should consider caution. To give an idea of what to expect, the Layout category offers sections on understanding layout, pixel density, how to work with a responsive layout including columns, gutters and margins, breakpoints, UI regions and spacing methods to name but a few. Beyond the Design section is Components, which provides the physical building blocks needed to create a design. What’s included here? Buttons, banners, cards, dialogs, dividers, lists, menus, progress indicators, sliders, snackbars (these are brief messages about app processes at the bottom of the screen), tabs, text fields and tooltips. Undoubtedly a comprehensive collection of components. And developers haven’t been forgotten, with details and tutorials on how to build for different platforms – Android, iOS, Web and Flutter. And, finally, there is a page dedicated to a host of resources to help make your chosen design happen.

Working on the web usually means you will be working with Google in some shape or form. And seeing as Google Chrome is streets ahead of the competition, designers and developers need to think about how their project will work with the browser. How will it look? What technologies does it support, how secure is it and how will it perform?  Fortunately, Chrome provides tools to ensure any site or app will be at its best. DevTools enable designers and developers to gain insight into a web page: you can manipulate the DOM, check CSS, experiment on designs with live editing, debug JavaScript and check performance. (See more about how to use these Google web tools here). But Google offers more than just the browser. It has tools and resources to aid nearly every aspect of your design and development life. Want to know how to improve performance? Lighthouse is here to help. Want to build better performing mobile sites? Then say hello to AMP. Are you looking to build beautiful PWAs? Then Flutter, Material Design and Workbox are ready to step in.  The beauty of using Google tools, resources, libraries and frameworks is that you know they will work well with the Chrome browser – the most popular browser on the planet. For more tools, see our web design tools roundup.  01. Lighthouse Performance is a key factor in the success of a site and Lighthouse is Google’s tool for improving the quality of web pages. So how do you use it and what can it do? In its simplest form, you can run Lighthouse from the Audits tab and choose from a selection of options including desktop or mobile, in addition to tick boxes for performance, accessibility and SEO, to generate a final report with suggested improvements. 02. Polymer Polymer is well-known for its work with web components but the project has now expanded its repertoire to embrace a collection of libraries, tools and standards. What’s included? LitElement is an editor that makes it easy to define web components, while lit-html is an HTML templating library that enables users to write next-gen HTML templates in JS. Plus, you will also find a PWA Starter kit, the original Polymer library and sets of web components.  03. APIs Explorer Google has a vast library of APIs available to developers but finding what you need is no easy task. This is where Google’s APIs Explorer steps in to offer a helping hand. There is a long list that can be scrolled through but, for quicker access, there is a search box to filter the API list. Each entry links to a reference page with more details on how to use the API. 04. Flutter Create beautiful apps with Flutter If you are looking to build good-looking applications for mobile, web and desktop from a single codebase then Flutter could be for you. The site is a complete reference to working with and building with Flutter. Haven’t got a clue what to do? The docs take a user from installation to creation, assisted by plenty of samples and tutorials.  05. Google GitHub As most will know, GitHub is the hosting platform/repository to store and share code and files. And happily Google has its own spot on the platform with over 260 repositories to sift through. Use the filter to cut down on your search time and get closer to the repository you want to play with or contribute to.  06. Puppeteer Built in Node, Puppeteer offers a high-level API that enables you to access headless Chrome – effectively Chrome without the UI, which developers can then control through the command line. So what can you do with Puppeteer? A few options are available for generating screenshots and PDFs of pages, automating form submission and creating an automated testing environment.  07. Workbox If you are looking to build a PWA then this is a great starting point. Workbox provides a collection of JavaScript libraries for adding offline support to web apps. A selection of in-depth guides demonstrate how to create and register a service worker file, route requests, use plugins and use bundlers with Workbox. And there is also a set of example caching strategies to check out. 08. Codelabs In need of practical guidance for a Google product? Codelabs provides “a guided, tutorial, hands-on coding experience”. The site is neatly broken down into categories and events, making it quick and easy to find what you want. It includes Analytics, Android, Assistant, augmented reality, Flutter, G Suite, Search, TensorFlow and virtual reality. Select an option and get the code and directions you need to build small applications. 09. Color Tool Pick a palette, any palette Color Tool is a straightforward tool that enables you to create, share and apply a palette in addition to checking accessibility. Users can choose a predefined palette from the Material palette. Simply pick a colour and then apply it to the primary colour scheme, switch to the secondary option and pick again. Finally, pick text colours for both schemes. Alternatively, switch to Custom to pick your colours. Then switch to Accessibility to check all is good before, finally, exporting the palette. 10. Design Sprints The Design Sprint Kit is for those who are learning how to participate in or run design sprints. It looks to cover all knowledge bases, from first-timers to experienced sprint facilitators. Learn about the methodology or jump straight into the planning stage, including writing briefs, gathering data and research, as well as what to do post-sprint. Also includes a host of resources such as tools, templates, recipes and the option to submit your own method. 11. People + AI Guidebook This guide is the work of the People + AI Research initiative at Google and looks to offer help to those wanting to build human-centred AI products. The comprehensive guidebook is split into six chapters covering user needs, data collection and evaluation, mental models, trust, feedback and graceful failure.
