Best Dashboard widgets for web developers

By Dave Caolo

It's certainly no secret that I like Dashboard widgets. Just when I start to think I'm going a little overboard with the widget love, I find a list like this: The Best Of Dashboard Widgets for Web Developers. On her site, Lisa McMillan describes many of the cool widgets that have found a permanent home on her Mac, including:

  • ShortStat, which displays the total number of hits to your site, as well as total unique hits and the 7 most recent referrers (I took a look at ShortStat last month)
  • TypeCast, which allows you to quickly preview fonts and whole font families
  • CSS Cheat Sheet. Now this is cool. CSS Cheat Sheet displays the contents of the very comprehensive CSS Cheat Sheet file over at I Love Jack Daniels, right in your Dashboard.  Cheat sheet indeed!
  • Colourmod A nifty slider to quicky select hex colors.

There are many more. Check them all out. Thanks to Lisa for compiling such a great list.
