Ask HN: What are your staple tools for creating a good UI/UX?

When you start a new project, which tools/plugins/elements are you using to make it beautiful and intuitive? Javascript libraries, CSS frameworks, fonts, other tools, etc...

A couple to start with:

- Bootstrap (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap)

- FontAwesome (https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome)

- Normalize (https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css)

- Chosen (https://github.com/harvesthq/chosen)

- Angular (https://github.com/angular)

- Parsley (http://parsleyjs.org/)

- Subtle Patterns (http://subtlepatterns.com/)

- Color Scheme Designer (http://paletton.com/)

- Sketch (http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch/)
