My Development Setup

In the past, I stumbled upon many interesting tools by investigating the development setups of other developers. Therefore, I thought I could also present you my setup.

I change up things sometimes, so this page will serve as a living document and a place to point curious developers to when I get asked.

Editor + Terminal

Desktop Apps

  • Firefox as my main browser
  • Boostnote as my note-taking app. It is focused on markdown, snippets, and customization.
  • Trello as my project management tool
  • Any.do to manage my tasks across devices
  • Enpass for password management
  • Franz as messaging app
  • Spotify for music streaming

Notebook

I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) for development and a custom-built desktop PC for gaming.

Wow I thought I was a rebel (joke) but we use the same things! A couple different but really just different names!

Never heard on EnPass before. How do you like it it? Any comparisons to KeePass?

I used KeePass before but switched to Enpass for these reason:

  • Better UI
  • Good browser extension support
  • Check for pwned passwords
