Developer Tools
Most of the development tools found here are geared toward frontend development, static site generations and CMS.
Terminal
Warp 🏆
AI-powered terminal
iTerm Your terminal on steroids
Hyper A terminal built on web technologies.
IRC & Instant Messaging
Limechat 🏆 It's the IRC for geeks
If you already have previously installed it, you can run
When googling errors on Stackoverflow fails, I use mostly Limechat for asking questions when I want instantaneous answers in language-specific channels (#css, #wordpress, #js) at Freenode
Gitter Chat tool for communities
Spectrum Chat tool for communities
Local Server Environments
MAMP Apache + mySQL + PHP stack (for Wordpress development)
If you want to build Wordpress sites, MAMP does a good job of running a local server for your Wordpress site to run.
Code Snippets Manager
Quiver The Programmer's Notebook
I was always looking for a great way to store quick code snippets I could access anytime because I find it really annoying opening old projects because of a code snippet that I find reusable. Quiver was a good contender for it being lightweight, fast, and has good code formatting. Shared notebooks allow you to sync in code snippets collaboratively. The only downside is its hefty $10 price tag, and the iOS app is read-only.
Lepton The Lean Github Gist Client
I'm starting to move to this one because first of all - the gists syncs up on github (which is great for sharing) and it's completely FREE.
Database Management
Sequel Pro 🏆 A nice database tool
There are times when I want to modify the database tables easily in a GUI (Command-line is cool and geeky, but sometimes - I'm just in a hurry)
FTP Clients
Transmit 🏆 Simply the best FTP client. It is quite pricey though.
Filezilla It works, gets the job done, and most of all - it's FREE!
Text Editor
VS Code 🏆 The best code editor
SublimeText Before VS Code, this was king.
Internet Browsers
There are lots of internet browsers out there. Some interesting ones I have noticed are:
Arc - Dubbed the "Chrome Replacement". https://arc.net
Orion - Built on WebKit, Orion gives you a fast, smooth, and lightweight browsing experience
Chrome 🏆
Firefox
Others
Docker
