Wow this is almost a list of everything on my machine. Great list. I second these recommendations!! Special mentions for: Alfred, Bartender, Daisy Disk and ColorSlurp

This might sound hyperbolic but as a .NET developer JetBrains Rider is a real joy to use IMHO. I think being paired with an M1 Mac is probably part of what makes the experience great for me. That IDE/hardware combo beats anything I&#x

What's insane to me is that Kagi is so good for the relatively little funding they have. Maybe when they have the subscriber numbers of Netflix they can reduce their monthly fee (not that I even personally think they need to), but for

Monodraw is great. I occasionally use it to document system architecture in code comments and project READMEs etc. [0] Also handy as a quick way to document CSS styles to help visualise which parts of a layout a given style targets [1] [0]

This is such a superb article. I'd forgotten about a lot of this. I used to be a grandmaster of creating any layout imaginable with tables and 1x1 pixel Gifs... So. Many. Tables...

I've had a great experience so far with UpCloud. Almost a comparable suite of products to DO and their support team is very responsive. European based too which helps for some projects (GDPR etc) - though you can spin up instances in

Evernote originally inspired me (back in the day) as to the value of having some sort of personal knowledge management tool. More recently Obsidian inspired me in terms of showing me what a non-enshittified, open/portable format note-t

Thank you, we appreciate what you all do.

That's very kind of you to say, I appreciate that. It's relatively new and still quite a bit unfinished (in my eyes...) Having spent the last decade or so buried deep in quite a big project, I have shamefully very little to show i

This is a great point actually. It's amazing how far you can get in a .NET project these days without a single third-party (Nuget) dependency. Compared to my projects that (begrudgingly) use Node.js...

You're right, Mono was pretty good even in the very early days. I had a small C# Mono app deployed on macOS in a similar time period (possibly close to 10 years ago now) and I was amazed at how well it worked at the time. It also felt

Nicely done! Very cool. And good job on the excellent GIF in the readme which completely demonstrates what it does - something that's often missing on such projects. Got a chuckle out of this too: > Disclaimer: This is a demo and i

Yeah, can confirm the same here. This seems to be the most frequent failure mode that I see with my use of Tunnels. Existing connections will continue working, but attempts to create new ones (or other changes) fail. Ie. the control plane
