I used to love Git Tower until the most recent version came out with the annual-renewing license. I used to promote Git Tower all the time because the one-time-purchase license was such a good deal for the tool and I truly believed it was w

I bought a Jarvis Standing Desk[1] when I transition to a 100% remote job. I love my desk and I love the motorized feature. You can select from various widths with various adding. It's not cheap but it has been worth every penny to me.

Chargebee works on top of payment gateways like Stripe or Braintree. They give you more flexibility around subscriptions than those payment gateways support out of the box. Plus they don't charge you a fee (excluding payment gateway st
