Uses
Here’s a not-so-exhaustive-but-still-pretty-thorough list of the tools, apps, hardware, and other gadgets I use every day to design and code my masterpieces. And don’t be distracted by the Johnny Mnemonic GIF in the background—he's just here to keep things cool..
Frontend (UI/UX)
- Figma is my primary tool for UI design these days.
- React is my front end Javascript library of choice. I am also learning Next.js right now.
- 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 MUI and Bootstarp like styled-components, but these days I’m using tailwind 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.
Backend
- I use express.js for building RESTful APIs with Node.js.
- Currently I am using MongoDB for developing scalable applications with evolving data schemas.
Apps
- I use Visual Studio Code as my text editor, with the cyberpunk theme typeface of choice.
- Brave is my main browser for both development and general use.
