Hardware
I recently bought MacBook Air. It’s probably the best computer I’ve ever had. I use this as an external monitor.
Apps
Terminal - iTerm
Text Editor - Sublime Text 3
Browser - Google Chrome
Sublime Text 3
I am using Cobalt2 theme. It gives me nice sidebar icons as well. This is the perfect theme if you are heavily using JS in your work.
Terminal — iTerm
In iTerm I am using ZSH shell with oh-my-zsh plugins.
Theme - robbyrussell
Font - 20pt Droid Sans Mono. Download it from powerline.
I use Z for walking across directories. Z is a cd command that learns. Whatever terminal you’re using I would highly recommend using Z. It will save a lot of time.
Browser — Google Chrome
Here are my most used extensions -
Onetab — Useful if you use too many tabs in chrome like me 😜.
Webmaker — Codepen like offline editor
Vimium - Provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim.
Pocket — Bookmark and read later.
Extensions Manager (aka Switcher) — Comes handy in managing other extensions.
LivePage — Live reloading webpage as it changes.
Page Ruler — Use it while designing/developing websites. It helps in measuring elements on any web page.
The Great Suspender — It automatically suspend tabs that have not been used for a while, freeing up memory and cpu that the chrome tab was consuming.
Mixmax — Email tracking
There are so many other apps/extensions I am using to boosts my productivity. If you’re interested in knowing them feel free to DM me here @meakaakka.
Stay tuned for future write-ups that will cover more detailed info of my dev setup.
