Software

  • I use Arch btw, running Hyprland on it as my WM of choice.
  • Zen Browser as the web browser because it's (i) based on Firefox (ii) looks cool (iii) has a bunch of great features for my usecase.
  • Zed as my code editor, it's fast and minimal. Plus I already have a web browser.
  • Obsidian for desktop note taking.
  • Godot for making lightweight games. Yes, I still take part in game jams.

Tech Stack

  • If it has to be a website HTML/CSS, Astro or SvelteKit depending on the usecase. Next.js or React if needed.
  • If it's an mobile app, Native Jetpack compose or CMP. I don't like putting websites into mobile applications.
  • If a backend is needed, Django / Flask is the best fit. been exploringGolang and Rust as well. I can write Express if needed.
  • C++ and C for low level and fast stuff
  • Python for almost everything else.
