Development Stack
All of the apps, tools, and services I use to build my projects.
Apps
Cursor
- Cursor is a fork of VSCode with Claude built-in. I find the AI is a lot better than GitHub Copilot. They keep it up to date with the latest versions of VSCode so any extension should work perfectly.
Arc
- My browser of choice. I love the sidebar design and having different spaces. It's built on top of Chromium so any Chrome extension is compatible.
Raycast
- So much more than a spotlight replacement. Raycast integrates with a ton of tools and lets you take control of your entire mac from your keyboard. Things like changing output devices and clipboard history are super convenient.
Linear
- Primarily a team-based project management tool but it's still great for personal projects.
Languages/Frameworks
Next.js
- I use Next as the frontend for all of my projects. Its server-side capabilities make it great for SEO and with small apps a separate backend may not be necessary.
Laravel
- I use Laravel for all of my backend APIs. It's a great framework for building RESTful APIs quickly.
Tailwind CSS
- I use Tailwind for all of my frontend styling. It's a great utility-first framework that makes styling a breeze.
shadcn/ui
- When I need a UI component I don't want to build myself I go here first. Lots of great ones that are easy to integrate with.
