kitty
A fast, GPU-powered terminal emulator. My favourite one so far. It's cross-platform so I can use the same config files everywhere. Apart from being quick, it has some neat features like:
- Startup sessions that can set multiple tabs and layouts and run custom commands (think ssh, curl) so that your workflow is initialised as soon as you start developing.
- Little things like copy-on-select or ctrl-c/ctrl-v without the shift are convenient.
Roam Research
The best tools are the one make you change your lifestyle for the better. With Roam and its brilliant ocmmunity of devs and extensions,
- Cannot recommend this enough. I simply write more because the barrier has been drastically lowered. Before I had to think about how to organize something before I wrote it down, now I just write it in a journal entry and backlink the keywords for future reference. RIP Evernote.
- Spaced repetition and the notes I make are all in one place.
- I wake up to Roam Research: hash out the day's agenda, learn flashcards, write some thoughts down and get to work.
Typora
My new favourite tool for markdown writing. Elegant interface that handles image sizing very well.
I've started using it to write my blogs.
Hammerspoon
Automate your Mac workflows with simple Lua scripting. Extremely powerful but I've barely scratched the surface. I use it to quickly open my most used apps: Command+1 for Chrome, +2 for kitty and so on and so forth. Very handy. Oh and swapped the ctrl key with caps lock coz its easier to reach for them terminal commands.
