Uses
I’m not famous, nobody has ever asked me what I use, however, I felt the urge to tell you guys about it. To be honest, it’s also a good reference for me to set up my workflow in a new environment.
Let’s start!
Editor
- Visual Studio Code has been my main editor for the past +3 years. Love it.
- SynthWave ‘84 is the theme. Yes, I like puprle. A lot.
- Cascadia Code with ligatures on is the font I’m using.
Extensions:
- DotENV: Syntax highlighting for .env files.
- ESLint: Lint JavaScript and TypeScript. Constantly reminds me I’m stupid because of importing modules that I don’t use.
- Git Graph: Git graphs inside editor.
- GitLens: Honestly, it has too many features I’m not even sure which ones I’m using.
- Prettier: Format and beautify code.
- Project Manager: Manage projects (Save, open, delete, etc).
- TODO Highlight: Highlight todos in the code.
- Toggle Quotes: Toggle quotes. Very useful in JavaScript.
- vscode-styled-components: styled-components syntax highlighter.
Desktop apps
- Adobe XD to design interfaces.
- Alfred, launcher with tons of features.
- Cmder, my go-to terminal when I’m on Windows.
- Compass, a GUI to manage MongoDB.
- Dozer to hide status bar icons
- Firefox for both development and browsing.
- IINA, modern media player.
- iTerm2 + Oh My Zsh is my default terminal. Using the same theme as VS Code with Menlo font.
- Notion, writing posts like this with it.
- Pocket, to bookmark and save content.
- PopClip, handly little app to perform actions when you select a text.
- Port Manager, view and kill ports from status bar.
- Postman, API client.
- RunJS, JavaScript scratchpad and playground.
- Spotify for music. Follow me for epic playlists.
