POURIA .

Thoughts that keep me awake at night.

Uses

Apps, tools and gadgets that I use.

code

I’m not famous, and nobody has ever asked me what I use, however, I felt the urge to let everyone know about it.

So let’s start.

Editor.

Extensions:

  • DotENV: Syntax highlighting for .env files.
  • ESLint: To lint JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Multiple cursor case preserve: Preserve case when I use CMD/CTRL+D to find and replace texts. Very handy.
  • Prettier: Format and beautify JavaScript/TypeScript code.
  • rust-analyzer: Provides support for Rust.
  • vscode-shader: Provides support for shader language.
  • Thunder Client: A minimal and simple REST API client that I prefer to apps like postman for most cases.
  • TODO Highlight: Highlight TODO’s in the code.
  • Toggle Quotes: Toggle between single-quotes, double-quotes and backticks. A real time saver.

Other configurations:

I’ve disabled the status bar, the activity bar, the minimap, breadcrumbs and basically any other visual noise if I ever notice them on the editor screen. Here are some notable configurations:

{
  "editor.fontSize": 16,
  "editor.lineHeight": 27,
  "files.defaultLanguage": "markdown",
  "editor.cursorWidth": 3,
  "editor.cursorBlinking": "phase",
  "editor.cursorSmoothCaretAnimation": true,
  "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
  "breadcrumbs.enabled": false,
  "workbench.activityBar.visible": false,
  "workbench.statusBar.visible": false,
}

Applications.

  • 💰 1Password, manage passwords.
  • 💰 💘 Alfred, launcher, clipboard manager, scripts and more. I’ve created dozens of my own custom workflows to automate things.
  • Amethyst, I wasn’t into window managers until I used this one.
  • Amphetamine, keeping the display on for when needed.
  • AppCleaner, uninstall apps and all of their data.
  • Blender, 3D design software. I’ve just started.
  • Docker, containers to run softwares in. The new desktop GUI makes it less painful to use.

  • Firefox, the one and only browser I use.
