Uses
A somewhat comprehensive list of tools, apps, and more that I use on a daily basis to design and code things. And yeah, that is a Johnny Mnemonic GIF in the background.
Development
- I use Visual Studio Code as my text editor, with the Real-Synth-84 theme and Operator Mono as my typeface of choice.
- For Backend I use Rust, it's a great Language and it gets work done in minutes
- For Server Side I use Node.JS, it's a amazing framework which is really easy to use.
- Firefox is my main browser for both development and general use.
- React is my front end Javascript library of choice. The component-centric mental model is the first thing that truly made sense to me as a Backend Developer
- For 3D effects and image shaders I use three.js. It has a bit of a learning curve but you can do some really powerful stuff with it.
- For CSS I've used a myriad pre-processors and css-in-js solutions like styled-components, but these days I'm using vanilla CSS with PostCSS to get upcoming CSS features today.
- For Javascript animations I use Popmotion Pure 8, it's a great way to add spring animations to three.js. All other animations are CSS with React Transition Group for enter/exit transitions.
