Links
Here's a random collection of links I use pretty regularly and thought others might also find fun or useful. This is also a place for me to dump links to things I want to be able to pull up quickly without needing to look through my notes.
Software Development
A bunch of different stuff I use daily for work or personal projects.
Astro (Web Framework) (opens in new tab)
This is a wonderful (and minimal) Javascript framework for building web apps without all the overhead of some larger frameworks like Vue or React. This site used to be built with Astro.
Go (opens in new tab)
The Go programming language. This has become my preferred language for just about everything. You can easily make anything from simple cli tools to full blown web applications. This site is built using Go (specifically, the 'Boring Stack' I wrote about).
HTMX (opens in new tab)
Extends what you can do with your HTML elements.
TEMPL (opens in new tab)
HTML templating for Go that makes building web UIs super easy.
Alpine.js (opens in new tab)
Just enough JavaScript without needing to build your entire application around a JS framework.
Neovim (opens in new tab)
My editor of choice (btw)
Wezterm (opens in new tab)
My preferred terminal emulator. It's easily configurable and has handy built-in multiplexing.
Design and Accessibility
Making things look nice and making sure they can be used by everyone.
A11y Collective (opens in new tab)
Information and resources for making the web accessible to everyone.
A11y Support (opens in new tab)
A quick way to check if your code will work with assistive technology like screen readers.
CSS-Tricks (opens in new tab)
An ever-growing collection of articles on CSS tips and tricks. There's a lot of novelty but also quite a few useful tips.
Classless.css (opens in new tab)
Clean css with minimal classes. Great for making simple sites look nice without a lot of effort.
Tools
Pysical, digital, etc tools for doing things.
Alfred (opens in new tab)
Alfred is essentially a replacement for the MacOS search but is extendable and much more useful.
Homebrew Package Manager (opens in new tab)
Absolutely essential package manager that should really be included with MacOS. If you're a GNU/Linux user and are familiar with apt or pacman you'll feel right at home here.
CSS Grid Generator (opens in new tab)
I hate messing with CSS grids. A lot. This helps me avoid it.
Flerm (opens in new tab)
I'm biased because I built this, but it's a handy little flowchart creation tool that works in your terminal and exports to plaintext.
KeyClu (opens in new tab)
Displays useful keyboard shortcuts for whatever app you're using. Really handy for getting to know new applications or quickly looking up lesser used shortcuts in your regular apps.
Lodash (opens in new tab)
A JavaScript utility library I use regularly work both work and personal projects. It just makes working with data a little nicer.
Meet the Ipsums (opens in new tab)
A collection of fun Lorem Ipsum generators for when you ned some text and it doesn't matter what the text says.
Just For Fun
Bascially anything that isn't 'productive'.
Kingdom of Loathing (opens in new tab)
An adventurer is you! This is a free web (and mostly text) based RPG that has been around forever and is still regularly updated.
Donjon RPG Tools (opens in new tab)
A huge collection of random generators for all types of TTRPGs. Fantasy, sci-fi, modern, you name it there's probably a tool for it. I use these heavily for solo roleplaying as well as when I GM for a group.
Misc
Everything else
Plaintext Productivity (opens in new tab)
Misc guides and ideas for organization using strictly plaintext.
W3 Schools (opens in new tab)
A great resource for learning to code and for brushing up existing coding skills. W3.CSS is also a wonderful framework to use as-is or modify to fit just about any project.
