Everything (almost) I use associated with this website and my day to day work.

I use this for the majority of design work. Managing components and libraries, prototyping and sharing is by far the best in my opinion.
For all the things Illustrator and Figma can’t do—which now is mostly photo editing. Without having to pay for Photoshop.
So many handy little tools that help designing. Rulers, colour blindness testing, etc. As well as the companion app xScope mirror.
A real conveient way to pick colours and manage colour palettes.
Really nice screenshot tool.
Another convenient app, it’s super smart at getting the dimensions of objects.
Collecting inspiration and creating my “taste” library.
I write all code in Nova, nothing beats a Panic app for quality. I like vscode but not the clunky side of it.
An easy and convenient way to search documentation for pretty much every language.
I use the Panic Palette and zsh (using ohmyzsh ).
I tend to use git through the Github desktop app and terminal.
A nice menu bar app for recording gifs. I use this to demonstrate things quickly in my posts.
iA Writer
A simple markdown editor. All posts start here then are copied and pasted into the CMS. Syncs with iCloud so I can write anywhere.
Keeping all my valuable files backed up and accessible anywhere.
A spotlight replacement for Mac, with loads of handy features and workflows. This has overtaken Alfred for me.
Roc Grotesk (variable)
Elza
Covik Sans Mono
I moved this site to a Next.js after its 10 year or so existence on ExpressionEngine.
One of the biggest reasons I use a static site generator is to take advantage of hosts like Netlify. It’s a one stop solution for hosting your website and it makes everything a dream.
