What I use
Shout out to Wes Bos for the idea of this page, a living document that contains the list of softwares or hardwares I use.
Terminal + Editor
- For terminal I use Fish mainly for its great autocomplete feature andZSH.
- Visual Studio Code has been my editor for a few years now.
- I frequently change my editor's theme. Currently it's set to Monokai Pro (Filter Machine). Sometimes to get some light, I try Github Plus.
- I have a bunch of extensions installed.
- The font I code in is Fira Code.
Apps & Services
- I use primarily Netlify for hosting web-application or PWAs. But according to need, I also switch to Heroku or Firebase for data-driven / fullstack app, or sometimes Surge.sh for static site deployment. This website is deployed viaVercel, a great solution for SSR problem for ReactJS Applications.
- Metatags.io to generate useful meta-tags quickly.
