Do you have a "uses" page?

We all are particular about the software and hardware we use. Something common that came about out of all this is tech folks that blog, stream and/or give talks started getting a lot of questions like, what font do you use? What theme is that? What kind of monitor etc.

So tech folk that have web sites started creating a "uses" page. If you have a uses page, share it in the comments and consider adding it to @wesbos' awesome project uses.tech.

If you don't have one, here my uses page as an example of one.

Might as well share a workstation photo too while you're at it.

Go!

DEV/Forem profiles should have pages in addition to posts. Like tabs on the profile. 🤔

Not yet, I feel that I'm not relevant enough for people to have an interest on what I kinds of tech/stack/hardware I use.

Hopefully one day I'll be so tired of people asking what is my VS Code font/theme that I'll write one up. 😄

I don't think you need to be a Wes Bos or Kent C. Dodds to justify having one. Also, it was just fun to make . 😺

I have been noticing a few of those on other people's portfolios! Always seemed like an interesting idea... Totally didn't know there were as many as folks listing it as shown on uses.tech/ though! Building mine this week! 😎

Anybody that wants to be added to uses.tech needs to send a PR to this repo updating this file in particular.

There's only 8 people under the Australia tag on the uses.tech website so maybe I will 🤔

I didn't know about such pages. I'll definitely add something similar to my blog. :)

I have a uses page not only for other's benefit but for mine. I list out all the specs for the desktop I built and peripherals so I don't need to filtering through my order histories to find which RAM I bought and all that good stuff. I should definitely go back through and add IDEs, extensions and all those other goodies.
