Many of productivity tools I use are free (and not always related to dev, but as a side effect, increase my development productivity as well):
* a big monitor (switching from 13" to 27" definitely had an impact)
* https://www.raycast.com/ https://www.raycast.com/ has the biggest impact to my productivity. So much good stuff there! Just one example is resizing windows with keyboard. Good old https://www.alfredapp.com/ https://www.alfredapp.com/ is another option;
* https://devdocs.io/ https://devdocs.io/ to look up docs;
* https://www.tldraw.com/ https://www.tldraw.com/ for temporary sketches, wireframes, etc.
* while I'm here: in my experience, one-time purchase from https://serif.com/ https://serif.com/ is a great alternative to Creative Cloud.
- KingMob 3y agoI really want to like Raycast, since its plugin ecosystem is better integrated than Alfred's, but every time I try it, I keep stumbling against its multi-step wizard-style interface, when what I want is a GUI CLI. I want to type a bunch of words (with autocomplete), and hit Return when done, and Alfred makes me hit "Return" (or something else) in the middle of some sequences, hides results until I do, and is generally slower to use than Alfred.
- olvy0 3y agoOff topic and late: Hi Vlad, just wanted to say I ran into your website and desktop wallpapers some years ago, and I just love them, I keep using them as wallpapers on my various machines and telling people about them. Just wanted to say thank you for your work on them.
