Uses

Inspired by Wes Bos’ uses.tech, here is a list of things I use on a daily basis that help me code.

I use Visual Studio Code as my code editor of choice with the Rose Pine Moon theme and the Fluent Icons extension. The font I use is Roboto Mono. Here’s what that looks like:

My Visual Studio Code appearance.

I use Figma to prototype and iterate my website and app designs, as well as to create simple SVG files (I use Adobe Illustrator for anything more complex).
Squoosh is an amazing web app I often use to compress images.

File Nesting Updater - Automatically updates the file-nesting for a bunch of related files. Incredibly useful for front-end projects, particularly since they always have a bunch of config files. (ts, prettier, lock files, etc.)
HTML Biscuits - Adds a class list to the end of HTML elements, helps identify which closing-tag you’re looking at.
Pretty TypeScript Errors - Does what it says on the box.
Quokka.js - Tightens the feedback loop for JS and TS script development IMMENSELY. Cannot recommend enough if you’re picking up programming for the first time, and trying to learn JS.
