Uses
Here's what I'm using these days:
Developer Life
Editor + Terminal + Coding
- VS Code
- Synthwave theme
- Hyper or iTerm depending on the day
- macOS
- My daily browser is Firefox because its super rad and for debugging I use Firefox Developer Edition or Chrome
- Font of choice for coding: Dank Mono
- CMS of choice: Statamic
- CSS of choice: TailwindCSS
- Vue.js or Nuxt.js or Gridsome (aka Vue across the board)
Servers and stuff
- I try to avoid server management as much as I can because it makes my blood boil.
- For WordPress I've loved Flywheel
- For cheap shared hosting and domains with free privacy I've used DreamHost for years without complaint
- Cloudinary makes responsive image hosting super easy because #perfmatters
The Office
Apps I couldnt live without
- 1Password is the greatest thing since melted butter.
- ProtonVPN keeps my internet traffic secure, which is super important when on public wifi.
- For dev projects Basecamp Personal is the coolest thing ever
Freelancing
- Harvest for time tracking
- Dropbox makes cloud storge easy
- Woven is amazing for scheduling meetings. I can just generate a link for folks to grab time off my calendar
- I organize nearly everything on kanbans via Trello but am worried their Atlassian overlords will kill it. Bigger things go into Basecamp Personal
