Uses
A somewhat comprehensive list of tools, apps, hardware, and more that I use on a daily basis to design and code things. To be full-stack developer, it requires proper understanding of tools used in development.
Development
- I use VSCode as my text editor, with the Tokyo Night theme and Operator Mono as my typeface of choice.
- Chrome is my main browser for both development, debugging and general use.
- React is my front end Javascript library of choice. For framework, I use Next.js to go with React for frontend.
- For API testing and verification, I use Postman. It has everything required to check response for various APIs.
- For CSS I like to use Sass and bootstrap, these days I use Tailwind CSS to get inline CSS styling easily.
- For Javascript animations I use Framer Motion, it’s a great way to add spring animations to React and three.js.
Design
- Figma is my primary tool for UI design these days. Made the switch from Sketch in 2020 and haven’t looked back.
- Any motion graphics I create are created in Adobe After Effects. So far I haven’t found a non-Adobe product that’s as good. If anyone has suggestions please message me.
