Paw is a full-featured HTTP client that lets you test the APIs you build or consume. It has a beautiful native OS X interface to compose requests, inspect server responses and generate client code out-of-the-box.
This is one of my go-to tools, when test-driving my API endpoints.

When performing tasks using the Gravity Forms API, handling notifications and hook execution on demand is something that becomes really handy.
Visual Composer shortcodes are normally not converted within the WordPress REST API rendered output.
This can be accomplished by calling WPBMap::addAllMappedShortcodes();
WP Safe Updates allows users to test plugin updates in a sandbox before applying them on a live site.

There are multiple options how to handle the confirmation page. Gravity form allows you to send query parameters to the page it is redirecting to.
You can send all form information in the clear, via query variables, but that looks really messy. Its better to use something like this .. lead_id={entry_id} and query form information on the actual confirmation page.
This will output the submitted form data as an array, with all fields linked by field id.
When you are reusing the field data for your own purposes, its easier to deal with field names than with fields ids. So we get the form meta data
and extend the lead array.
Before you needed to know the actual field id to get its value. Now you can use the generated lead key to get that value.
Much easier to reuse and remember :)
I am starting a small list of Material Design resources. If you have anything to share, let me know in the comments.
Sometimes we need to debug a WordPress plugin, even though the website is live.
