Software

Here are some tools I use in my day-to-day development:

  • Alfred – clipboard history, snippets, hotkeys, and other things.
  • CodeSandbox – to test an idea / package, or replicate an issue in an isolated environment.
  • CleanShot X – for taking screenshots & video captures.
  • caniuse – to check if some CSS or JS is supported enough to be used.
  • Excalidraw – to make visualizations.
  • GitHub Desktop: to view Git changes
  • Fonts Ninja – Chrome extension to quickly detect fonts on a page.
  • iTerm – terminal emulator. Just gotten used to it now though not sure it’s much better than default terminal.
  • JetBrains IDEs – PHPStorm, Webstorm, Pycharm, IntelliJ, DataGrip – depending on the project.
  • LastPass – Password manager
  • Postman – for working with REST APIs
  • Proxyman – for debugging HTTP requests.
  • Roam Research – for note-taking / freewriting
  • Wappalyzer – to see what technologies a website uses.
  • Vim

    Tools to checkout

    • Browserstack – worth the price if you need to test on different devices & platforms which you mostly need to as a front-end dev. Saves time compared to setting up virtual machines.
    • BetterSnapTool
    • Kap – screen recording tool
