This is where I'll try and keep an updated summary of the hardware,
software, and tooling I use for web development and streaming. Inspired by
Uses.tech.
Development
- Editor — VS Code
- Theme — I often rotate between mutliple themes to keep things fresh. Here’s a few of my favourites:
- Typeface — JetBrains Mono
- Terminal — iTerm 2
- Shell — Fish
Software
- Brave — For browsing and development.
- Raycast — Like Spotlight, but way better.
- Discord, Slack — For chatting on-line.
- 1Password — Quick, secure access to all my passwords.
- Spotify — For tunes and podcasts.
- Fantastical — A nice minimal calendar app.
- OBS Studio — For livestreaming code and gaming on Twitch.
- Loopback — Easy per-source audio routing.
- HandyPalette — A clean and minimal colour grabbing tool.
- Figma — For all my design needs.
- Magnet — Awesome little window management tool.
- PixelSnap — For measuring spacing and sizes on screen.
- Übersicht - Little desktop widgets you can write in React.
- Davinci Resolve — For creating video-based animations.
