|
|

I bought this chair second-hand when I started working for Apple, it's extremely comfortable and
|
|
|
|
|
|
ergonomic for those long hours spent at the desk.

<Tool title="JetBrains" href="https://jetbrains.com/">
|
|
|
|
|

I use a mix of JetBrain apps for my IDEs depending on what I'm working on. For JavaScript
|
|
|
|
|
|
projects, I use WebStorm. PyCharm for python and IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for Java. I use the same
|
|
|

|
keyboard shortcuts across these apps which is great for productivity.

<Tool title="Insomnia" href="https://insomnia.rest/">

Good tool for designing and testing REST APIs. I used to use Postman but I found the interface too
|
|
|
|
|
|
cluttered and prefer the simplicity of Insomnia.

Great app for Windows which allows you share a region of the screen, handy for single monitor
|
2023-03-31 13:07:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
set ups such as ultrawides when you don't want to share the entire screen.

I use this software for creating low-fidelity wireframes and interfaces. It's great for

<Tool title="Color Picker" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/color-picker">
|
|
|
|
|
|
Color Picker is included in the PowerToys set of enhancements for Windows. Using the eye dropper you
|
|
|
|
|
|
can easily identify colours on the screen and copy the colour's code to your clipboard for use
|
|
|
|
|
|
in other applications.

<Tool title="AutoHotKey" href="https://autohotkey.com/">
|
|
|
|
|

AutoHotKey features it's own scripting language and allows you to create keyboard macros for
|
|
|
|
|
|
automating common tasks. For example, I use AutoHotKey to toggle between dark and light themes in
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows on the fly.

Bitwarden is a free, open-source password manager, this Chrome Extension connects to a self-hosted
|
|
|
|
|
|
instance of Bitwarden which lives on my Raspberry Pi. It is really useful for syncing passwords across
|

|
|
|
Floccus syncs your bookmarks across browsers and devices. It connects to my Nextcloud server via
|
|
|
|
|
|
WebDAV and keeps my bookmarks in sync, so no matter which device I'm using, I always have the
|
|
|
|
|
|
same set of bookmarks.
