Ask HN: OS X productivity tips/apps?
Hey everyone! I just bought a MacBook Air, my first time with OS X.
I'm looking for recommendations for apps (preferably free) and all around tips for using the OS.
I'm using the OS for developing PHP, Node.js and Web design. For now I'm using Safari for browsing but Chrome and Firefox for testing the websites I'm making, and Atom.io as an editor, however I'm not sure it's the best choice.
Thanks everyone!

- konart 10y agoI don't like Atom, 'cause it's still as unstable as it was a year ago and memory hungry, so I'd say - try Sublime Text, if you haven't before. Matter of taste though. https://kapeli.com/dash https://kapeli.com/dash https://www.mediaatelier.com/CheatSheet/ https://www.mediaatelier.com/CheatSheet/ - cheatsheet for (almost) any app. Know your hotkeys! http://brew.sh/ http://brew.sh/ - your package manager https://www.iterm2.com/ https://www.iterm2.com/ - best terminal replacement, most likely http://happenapps.com/#quiver http://happenapps.com/#quiver - evernote for your code (dash has similar functionality build-in though)
