Uses
A somewhat comprehensive list of tools, apps, hardware, and more that I use on a daily basis to design and code things. And yeah, that is a Johnny Mnemonic GIF in the background.
Development
- I use WebStorm as my text editor, with the Dark theme and Operator Mono as my typeface of choice.
- Google Chrome is my main browser for both development and general use.
- Nextjs is my front end Javascript framework of choice. The component-centric mental model is the first thing that truly made sense to me as a designer.
- Backend I use Golang and Nodejs (Nest)
- For CSS I’ve used a myriad pre-processors and css-in-js solutions like styled-components, but these days I’m using vanilla CSS with PostCSS to get upcoming CSS features today.
- For Javascript animations I use Framer Motion, it’s a great way to add spring animations to React and three.js.
- For building and testing UI components in isolation I use Storybook.
