📐 What are your top 5 tools?

by•
I loved because it allowed me to list (stack) the tools I'm using (to make stuff). Basically answering the question "which tools are you using/recommending?". Yourstack was also great becuause you could browse the stacks of other makers to (re)discover tools and compare approaches as well as sharing tips and tricks around those tools. 🏝 While yourstack is currently on (permanent) vacation () I was wondering if you only could take 5 tools to an island: which tools would you pick and why? Ideally name tools that you rely on regularly. Can be evergreen tools or something new. Bonus points if you made something using those tools. Feel free to share what you made for context : ) Will also share my top 5 tools after a few comments (wow, narrowing down is not easy)!

I am an amateur photographer, so I always use photo enhancers to give my works a little touch-up to make them look more attractive. Here are my top 5 photo-editing tools: 1. VanceAI -The most functional and simplest AI photo enhancer, which has 19 features that basically cover all the needs in photo editing 2. Image Upscaler -Enlarge small and low-quality images by 800% online. 3. Colourise powerful tool for colorizing black and white photos online. And there is no need to sign up or download any programs. It’s hassle-free. 4. Passport Photo Maker -An online editor that supports major countries’ passport photo models. People can manually set their country’s passport photo size parameters and replace the background with a solid color background. 5. BGremover -AI-powered tool that can help you remove background from images online for free. It could be a handy assistant for e-commerce sellers.
anything specific that you are using iTerm for vs the default Terminal app?
themes, tabs (I think terminal back then did not support it), and customizations in general. maybe it can all be done today in the default terminal as well :shrug:
Things (!) basecamp (not great, but prefer over eg slack) vim recently replaced alfred (great) with raycast (happy so far) fantastical
I just remembered Quicksilver
My most essential: 1. iTerm 2. VSCode 3. Slack 4. Figma 5. Asana
It changes every few months, but those are long-time favorites of mine: 1. / manages my entire life 2. / go-to notes and writing app 3. / fantastic collaboration tool for distributed teams 4. Basecamp 5. Brave Browser And some lesser-known tools as a bonus: * / calculator on steroids * / super-quick screen recorder * / electron-based terminal
I am a web developer and these are some of the tools I use everyday: 1. Alfred - first thing I install on macos 2. VS Code - best of both worlds (IDEs and text editors) 3. Vivaldi - highly customisable chromium based browser 4. Slack - team communication 5. Github - all my code lives there Others: Netlify and Vercel - deploys all my apps Zsh and oh-my-zsh - cant use the terminal without Joplin - open source note taking app Google Meet - team meetings
1. Intercom 2. Notion 3. Canny 4. Zest And of course 5. Centered.app which was featured today!

This is an easy one for me. Obsidian - My daily note driver as a researcher Zotero - My storage of articles Morgen - My task and calendar app of choice (syncs with gcal) Affinity Photo - for all image manipulation for digital marketing Filmora 9 - Video editing software. I don't use anything else really to run my YouTube channel and my research.
