In my case, Obsidian is a game-changer. It allows me to organize my daily tasks, keep a journal of all my activities, organize the content for every customer, takes notes of each meeting I have, and have a place to store my ideas.
I know Obsidian is not a development-related tool but it increased my effectiveness and I became more efficient.
An important time gain recently was using Beeper: all my conversations are gathered in one application (WhatsApp / Instagram / Messenger / Signal)
I tried Beeper out a little while ago, and like other systems before it (trillian, bitlbee, pidgin, etc.) I found it didn't do what I wanted while at the same time becoming one single point of failure/frustration. Instead of a feature I don't like being annoying in one messaging app, now it's annoying in all of them!
It means I have to trust yet another third party, and since it won't support all the chat systems I use, I'll still have to go to other apps anyway.
Yes, it's annoying when chat networks are down... but I believe they will make the scaling and communication stable over time. In the background, I still have all native chat apps installed (and muted) if Beeper goes down.
I thought it was like the also amazing ferdium.org/
but wait... this also works on mobile ?
Absolutely incredible, I have been looking for that for years
You are my hero :)
Yes, Beeper is available and synchronised on IOS and Android :)
I didn't know about Ferdium, it is similar to Franz, thank you!
Ferdium is Franz but much better. Open source and supports many more services.
I joined the waiting list for beeper. Hopefully I can get in :)
Can I have a ref code please?
Code about what ? I’m only a Beeper user :D

Couple of cool tools for power platform developers by @wyattdave
Clipboard

Alfred is the one thing that has revolutionized the way I used Mac OS since one year.
Alfred brings a command palette interface to Mac OS, exactly like what you have in VS Code, IntelliJ, the shell, vim, ...
You are missing out if you like command palette interfaces in general but are still doing MacOS by point & click & drag & drop
You have to see it in action though, I just made a screecast here
I gotta jump on this post to say HELL YES. My boss at Oracle in 2022 introduced me to Alfred and it's been an invaluable addition to my macOS life. It's to the point where if I'm on someone else's system and I hit the activation key combo and nothing happens, I immediately think, Okay, WTF?! Every macOS user here should watch Jean-Michel's video and then branch off into other stuff on YouTube so you get a full feel for the utility of Alfred.
Thanks a lot !
Feel free to share the link in Slack / Discord
The embedded preview comes with it and it's very efficient to get people interested :)
Shoutout to my former coworker Aaron for getting me hooked on it 5 years ago. It's one of the top reasons why I pushed for a Mac over a PC at my current job (there's other reasons too, but I'm glad to still use Alfred over having to search for a PC-equivalent tool).
Using Ditto clipboard manager helps me a lot when dealing with lots of data to be copied and pasted. I can trigger lots of ctrl + C and then just open Ditto's and all my content is listed. It works much better than Windows default Clipboard Manager and saves a lot more entries.
As a front-ender, I also love some Visual Studio Code extensions:
My favourite tool or extension is Open Multiple URLs
Since i write on multiple blogging platforms like LinkedIn | Dev.to | Hashnode | Newsletter | C# Programming
So when I want to open all the platforms at once, I use the aforementioned extension.
Simply add the URLs as shown below and click the "Open URLs" button.
Apart from that, I use GitHub Desktop | Visual Studio Code
When I want to do this in Chrome, I save all the pages to their own bookmarks folder. That lets me organise them, and I can right-click and say "open all in tabs" if I want to. It's how I start different projects when I switch contexts at work. Chrome also supports tab groups now so you can close them all at once as well.
Sure, I agree, but I've been doing this for a long time...! It's almost like a habit now.
Big Notion fan here!
Notion + notepad and pen are an awesome combo for me.
For making some fast notes I use blank.page.
It has a simple design and also stores everything locally.
