Uses
A somewhat comprehensive list of tools, apps, hardware, and more that I use on a daily basis to code things. And yeah, that is a Johnny Mnemonic GIF in the background.
Development
- I use VSCodium as my text editor, with the Tokyo Night theme and Operator Mono as my typeface of choice.
- Chrome 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 designer.
- 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 Tailwindcss, but these days I’m using vanilla CSS with PostCSS to get upcoming CSS features today.
- For Javascript animations I use Framer Motion, it’s a great way to add spring animations to React and three.js.
- For building and testing UI components in isolation I use Storybook.
