Tools

Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

📦 Software

• Zendesk - Customer Support done right
• Github and VS Code - Code management
• 1Password - Keep your passwords secret. And your accounts safe
• Sketch - Nothing better than a Mac-assed app to do your work.
• Ghost - Best newsletter/blogging platform out there.

🎛️ Technology

• Cloudflare - DNS, Serverless functions, Cloud Storage
• Tailwind - CSS as classes? Heresy! Until you use it.
• Stripe - Never write your own payment system again.
• Plausible - Privacy conscious analytics.
• Heroicons - Clean set of SVG icons.

💻 Hardware

• MacBook Pro - 14-inch - M1 Pro - 32GB - 512GB. Probably the perfect MacBook.
• iPad Pro - 11-inch - M1 - 256GB. With a Folio Cover.
• Peak Design Everyday Backpack - Durable. Handy. Always with me.

💡Life Improvements

• Gaggia Pro - The best Espresso machine I ever owned
• Studio Neat Mark One - If you buy one pen, buy this one.
• Sharpie - Sharpie, what else.
