What’s your tech/tool stack for the web?
Here’s mine and why I use it.
🧵Thread
@NotionHQ for ideas, crm, second brain and just “dropping stuff i like”
I use @eagle_app for design recources I collect like design patterns, styles and UX,UI as well as CRO ideas.
@toggltrack for time tracking, productivity and pomodoro timer. Love how it tracks activity
@numiapp for a mac calculator for those quick math problems
numi.app
numi.app
@figma is my app of choice for web design work. It’s fast and covers my needs.
While I don’t like their pricing for collaboration it’s still better for me than the also good (free) alternative @AdobeXD
@creativecloud Photoshop and Illustrator are still my go to apps for graphic design, print, photo work, branding, logo design, illustrations and icons.
Figma can docsome of these things but it wasn’t build for that.
@artboard_studio for high quality and fast mockups. These look so good and clients love it for presentations.
Makes “selling” design services easier and you can get paid more.
@imageoptim for compression of design assets up to 80% for web. Fast loading websites & images start with optimized assets as this impacts UX and conversions.
It also takes a second to do but the impact is big.
@code for my coding editor. I keep it minimal, just some extensions for tech i use like @reactjs @tailwindcss and @PrettierCode to clean up my code
Trying out @GitHubCopilot and kind of like it. AI to help with the code.
@polypane as a browser for front-end dev stuff and responsive design as well as optimization for speed and debugging.
Really increased my productivity for front-end.
I switched from @GatsbyJS + @netlify to @nextjs + @vercel
As both are close I kind of prefer that the “hosting” company also makes the framework (or was it other way around?)
All are solid products with a great ecosystem and community.
@sanity_io is my go to CMS. Insanely customizable with a great development experience.
Learning curve was a bit harder but the community support from @kmelve and others is amazing.
I like markdown files for “light cms” needs. Clean and fast woth nextjs
@Shopify for backend/headless experience using hull.dev as a next+sanity combo.
Currently adding my own blog functionality before the project launch.
hull.dev
@stripe and @gumroad for payments. Simple, clean and it works without problems.
@Pabbly18 for personal automation. I’m on the lifetime plan as I don’t use it that much.
I use @zapier for projects that bring in revenue.
@HexomaticAI and @texauhq for automation/scraping data and some other stuff to save time.
What are yours and what did I miss?
