Apps, services, and hardware I use every day:
Apps
- Editor: AtomĀ I had been a loyal Panic Coda user for over a decade, however the customization and keyboard shortcuts for hackable editors had me switching overnight and never looking back. My setup is as follows:
- Theme: One Dark, sword-syntax,Ā HackerĀ font
- Snippets: here.
- Packages:Ā ascii-art, atom-beautify, atom-minify, atom-WordPress, atom-wpcodex, auto-update-packages, autocomplete-WordPress-hooks, caniuse, color-picker, colorful-json, css-color-name, custom-title, data-atom, docblockr, editor-stats, editorconfig, emmet, file-icons, gist, highlight-line, highlight-selected, html-to-css, intentions, jquery-snippets, language-javascript-jsx, language-todofile, less-compiler, linter, lipsum, multi-cursor, pastel-dark-theme, php-cs-fixer, pigments, platformio-ide-terminal, project-manager, react, remote-ftp, rest-client, todo-show, toggle-quotes, zentabs
- ThingsĀ for task management
- Apple’s NotesĀ for note taking, never saw the need for Evernote
- Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop + Lightroom) for designing
- SIP App for extracting colours
- iCloud Drive for personal files
- Slack for work related discussions and assignments (almost no email these days)
- Google DriveĀ for clients files and shared resources
- OneDrive for client archives
- Little Snitch for reducing and monitoring network
- Parallels for Microsoft Edge testing, and an Ubuntu playground
- and then just the normal macOS stock apps: Automator, Safari, KeyChain Access, Ā iTunes (with Apple Music subscription)
- Localhost
- LAMP stack for developing, served out of a folder in iCloud Drive. I opted to run Apache and PHP with homebrew (instead of normal macOS methods) because of sphp, granting me the ability to switch between PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1 with a single command.
