Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Development

  • Laravel

    Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. Out of the box, Laravel has elegant solutions for the common features needed by all modern web applications.

  • Livewire

    Livewire is a full-stack framework for Laravel that makes building dynamic interfaces simple, without leaving the comfort of Laravel.

  • Tailwind

    Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building modern websites without ever leaving your HTML.

  • Alpine.js

    Alpine is a rugged, minimal tool for composing behavior directly in your markup. Think of it like jQuery for the modern web. Plop in a script tag and get going.
