Speakeasy
Speakeasy's contributions to the OpenAPI ecosystem are incredibly valuable. Super approachable guides for getting started with OAS and the benefits for any team. Big fan of the work they're doing and recommend checking them out.

Sublime Merge
Sublime's suite of tools are .... sublime :P .. But actually, I really enjoy the simplicity of merge and usability. I don't always need to git from a UI, but on occasion it's nice to have a visual helper to solve conflicts or cherry picks. One of the standouts is the 'show underlying git commands' feature that I use to help me learn crazy git commands. No more copying over entire folders, recloning, new branch, copy back over and resolve from there.
Linear
Team is currently using Linear and the simplicity is nice compared to Jira. Still a lot of features I'm not taking advantage of, but the ability to 'just get started' is nice. Much less overhead for personal boards and basic Kanban style boards.

What's great

lightweight (5)intuitive design (34)
HTTPie for Terminal 2.6.0
Such a simple tool to start using instead of curl :) Pairs well with their UI application, but once you get used to HTTPie in the terminal it's 2nd nature and just works. very much recommend at least having available on your system even for the random HTTP request.
Obsidian
I've been using Obsidian for the past three years now. I moved over from Bear in order to have a cross platform experience and haven't missed it all. Interface and sync combined with plugins makes for a powerful organization tool and lightweight markdown behind the scenes makes it easy to backup and share notes through the filesystem. There is a small learning curve to get obsidian to work the best for you, however it's more than usable out of the box.

What's great

cross-platform (11)markdown support (21)community plugins (41)

What needs improvement

learning curve (10)
