.. is really just that! A collection of Dynamics 365 and Power Platform relevant bookmarks, that I have started to collect and have helped me greatly in my day-to-day work so far. By no means is it perfect nor finished, but opening it up to everyone so that you all can benefit too, and hoping, we can continue to nurture it together!
Use cases:
- When needing to set up a new workstation for a client,
- When needing a new browser profile for prototyping
- When needing to simply get a new dev/consultant up-to-speed.
This collection is truly just a curated list of bookmarks, so using them is as simple as clicking on them.

There are some special bookmarks (bookmarklets), that only work in given situations. One of these is the D365 Command Checker, which you can only use when you are in a Dynamics 365 model driven app. Mind it, ANY model driven app works, see documentation.
I strongly recommend setting up browser profiles to separate your accounts (history, passwords, bookmarks) and as part of this process, import this "starter pack" - but it works without profiles too. Follow guidelines based on your browser:
