25 must-have softwares for a new install

Florian Clanet on November 06, 2020

I recently had to configure all my tools after a fresh Windows re-installation. This went well and quick as I keep up to date a list of my favour...

Of course ! But it is a web interface right ? Or did they also release a laptop version ?

Don't you think that some things are a little outdated? E.g. Screenpresso -> Windows Snip & Sketch, f.lux ->Windows Night light, cmder -> Windows Terminal, Python -> Powershell(maybe :-)).

Sorry for my English.

Agree for screenpresso, I didn't try the Windows Snip & Sketch 🧐
For f.lux, I like the customization level which is better than on the night light.
Agree again for Windows terminal but it is not available on one of my client corporate laptop 🙄
And I like Powershell too (with ISE) but sometimes Python is useful, not just for automation but also to work with datasets, data exploration tasks, lambdas...
This was for my specific needs but besides that, I mostly agree with your comment 👍

I could try yEd. I want a local app to make some flow diagrams and isolate them from my mind haaha.
Thanks for the recommendation.

pgAdmin looks amazing. I will definitely give it a try when I need to mess with databases in the future. Thanks for sharing!

I have created a tooling package manager - sparrowhub.io , so whenever I need terminal tools I have them there.
