Uses

The hardware and software I like using to get things done.

Obligatory neofetch. The wallpaper is a photograph I took at Kinkakuji, Japan.

• Browser: Firefox
  • It’s also my mobile browser - the web is unusable to me without extensions 🦊
• Coding: VS Code
  • With Sublime Material Theme - Dark and Material Icons 🧑‍💻
• Terminal: Warp as a trial - beautiful UI and powerful AI-driven features
  • Previously iTerm2 with Oh My Zsh and the agnoster theme
  • Terminator with Oh My Bash on Ubuntu ✨
• Notes: Joplin
  • Cross-platform, open source, and extensible. I’ve been using Joplin for a while 📝
• Email, Calendar, & Cloud Storage: Proton
• E-Book Management: Calibre
  • I like to curate my library of e-books, choosing preferred covers and removing all the junk from the metadata 📚
• RSS: Feedbin
  • The best way to keep up with blogs and news since I ditched social media
  • The web app is great, and I’ve installed it as a PWA for mobile feed reading 📰
