p5.js is a JavaScript library that starts with the original goal of Processing, to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners, and reinterprets this for today’s web.
Using the original metaphor of a software sketchbook, p5.js has a full set of drawing functionality.

Am I Responsive? – this is a brilliant tool! You can type the URL you are interested in, click “Go!” button and see the preview of the URL on four different screen sizes – large desktop, medium desktop, tablet, and smartphone. No waiting in queue, no screenshots – all is live, scrollable and instant. There is also a bookmarklet which you can add to your browser and then preview any page with a single click. You can even rearrange the preview screens by dragging them around. And on top of all of that, even the localhost URLs work – the killer feature for any web developer!
