1. I'm a heavy user of the whole Proton suite. I'm always on VPN on my laptop and mobile, I love the private email and the new calendar :)
2. After some bad experiences with several computers over 10 years of coding (completely dying the day before a release, for example), I run all my code on Gitpod
3. I love using Bear for note taking and organizing my thoughts.

This sounds like a simple question, but what my favourite is isn't the same as what I think's the best for whatever reason, or what's affected my life most. I mean, I use web browsers every day and should probably put the whole category in here as my favourite, right? Silent Hill 2 is a "software product" that I used a lot back in the day, and I still don't think there's much that can top this one in its category.

I'll stop overthinking.

Vim is my #1. There are some rough edges with plugins, but the core Vim experience is as close to perfect as I can imagine.

tmux fits snuggly with Vim, and while it's not perfect, and the interface can be a little funny sometimes, it still massively improves my terminal experience and I use it every day.

ripgrep is the fastest and simplest of the grep-replacements that came out a few years ago (starting with things like Ack and Ag).

Honourable mention: fzf. A lot of my workflow is around using ripgrep inside Vim inside tmux, and fzf is the sprinkle on top of the cake that makes it all much more fun to eat. There are other fuzzy-finders around these days, but to be honest I haven't investigated much since fzf works exactly as I want it to already.

Yes, everything I've mentioned has been terminal-based! And it's nice to have favourites that aren't just favourites at work, of course :)

1. As the main code editor, I like to use VSCode. It has everything I need, and if there is something missing, you can try to create it. ❤️
2. To create notes, articles and just materials, I use Obsidian. Beautiful design, convenient functionality, and many other useful features. 😃
3. I like to use Figma to create designs, layouts, icons and more. This is one of my favorite tools for working with design ✨

1Password - I’ve been a customer for 10 years and it’s been an absolute game changer. I recommend this anytime I see friends get their socials hacked.
JetBrains Webstorm - my IDE of choice. It’s a bit hefty compared to VSCode but it excels better at tracing-related workflows with complex projects.
Docker - I lived the SysAdmin life before containers, being able to package packages into their own little runtime environment has been transformative for scaling up an application stack.

There are many, Can't mention all, some of them would be -

• VS Code
• Sublime text 4
• Bitwarden (password manager)
• Microsoft todo
• Figma (design)
• Ditto (clipboard manager)
• Share X (Screenshot Manager)

I'll cheat a bit and categorise:
most used:

• Falkon - a privacy-focused webkit based browser, I switched from Firefox after the shenannigans with Mozilla and 'managed advertising'
• Thunderbird - until I find an alternative mail client I can stand to use!
• KeePassXC - utterly awesome :)

most enjoyed:

• Flightgear - probably one of the largest, oldest OSS projects, and a really nice flight sim!
• Python - I guess my mind works like Guido's, as I find both the language and std lib intuitive, and I get good flow.
• Git - yes really.. I spent far too many years with bad SCM tools, it's nice to have one that isn't!

I'd have listed many online services, but we're sticking to local software right?

1) VSCode
2) VSCode
3) VSCode

Okay I cheated a bit here, but you get the idea ... :)

Same as @jesssimpson34 for the first point,

1. I use Proton suite like ProtonMail, ProtonDrive and ProtonCalendar. For personnal and work uses. Very good to keep your private/intimate life safe.
2. For everything that is writing, like projects, ideas, things to-do, I centralized everything on Notion. It's organized, easy to use and very powerful!
3. And the last, I use Gravit Designer for all the design aspect, banners, logos.

1. Anaconda
2. VS Code
3. Notes app on iPhone and its equivalent for Mac. Used to also be Parallels for virtualization on Mac but now that I got a dedicated Linux server I don't need to virtualize anymore.

My two besties

• Sublime text 3
• firefox

As a developer, I need:

1. GitHub integrated with CircleCI (GitHub Actions is a rising star, but not good enough in terms of DX)
2. Gitpod (but cloud edition is not stable at all 😭, especially for these 3 months)
3. VSCode server (through Gitpod.io)

VSCodium - a FOSS binary of VS Code.

Notion - an amazing tool which is a house for large quantity of important things in my life (from reading and watch lists to other stuff).

TickTick - best to do app I have used so far.

These are in no particular order, and it was actually a bit hard for me to come up with this list. Lol

1. PhpStorm
2. Trello
3. GitHub
4. Heroku
5. Bitwarden
6. Authy
7. Obsidian
8. Spotify
9. AWS S3
10. Twitter

Love this question. Some software applications you just take for granted.

My top 3:

• Git. Amazing software. The impact it had is massive and I use it every day at work.
• Notion. To gather my thoughts and ideas in a user friendly way.
• Vim key bindings. I mainly use other apps to write code but always with the key bindings. They make me so much faster.

So interesting to read what other people wrote 😊

I feel like I might want to revise this list later, but here's the first 3 things that pop into my mind:

1. Libby, "the library reading app". It allows you to rent books AND audiobooks - it's awesome!
2. Gramps, open-source genealogy software. I've been creating my family tree using this & it has SO MANY features. Maybe too much? But it gets the job done.
3. Notion, "a project management and note-taking software". It's pretty simple IMO; and there's a desktop app which I always prefer.

Gramps is the only one I don't use everyday, but when I do use it I get lost in the flow - again, there's SO many features...it makes me want to add every bit of detail that I can.

-VSC
-Next.Js
-Tailwindcss
-Sanity.io
-GitHub

next.js
material-UI
wavesurfer.js

Here are my top 3, in random order-

1. VS Code
2. GitHub
3. YouTube

• WebStorm / PyCharm - I'm using JetBrains IDEs from years, and they are my favorite piece of software
• Obsidian.md - amazing note-taking app
• Bitwarden - password manager for any device

RememberTheMilk, Bear, WebStorm

1. Jetbrains IDE (If I had to chose one it's IntelliJ IDEA)
2. GitUp, Git GUI on macOS that uses Git as a library, not Git as an executable
3. Gyazo, instant screenshot & share software

If I was to say the top 3 I use i'd have to say
Reaper
Rubymine
And probably chrome...

I think those are the 3 that bring me the most Joy.

Figma, notion and edge. These sums it all.

1. Loom - video recording and sharing.
2. Photoshop - editing and creating designs.
3. VS Code - writing codes.

1. VSCode
   Because I have the power to customise everything and it is also lightweight

2. Google meet
   Really simple interface and no time limit on calls

3. Iterm and zsh
   Again customisation 😅

VS Code
Twitter
Spotify
Discord
Figma

If we're not limited to developer tools:

• Todoist

2. VSCode
3. Figma

• VSCode
