Ask HN: Dev productivity tools you would pay for

• devdocs

  238 33,897 9.6 Ruby

  API Documentation Browser

  

Many of productivity tools I use are free (and not always related to dev, but as a side effect, increase my development productivity as well):

* https://www.raycast.com/ has the biggest impact to my productivity. Good old https://www.alfredapp.com/ is another option;

* https://devdocs.io/ to look up docs;

* https://www.tldraw.com/ for temporary sketches, wireframes, etc.

* while I'm here: in my experience, one-time purchase from https://serif.com/ is a great alternative to Creative Cloud.

  Issue tracker for Sublime Merge

  

Other good graphical git clients I have used in the past are Sublime Merge https://www.sublimemerge.com/ and SmartGit https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/.

They are usually not expensive, and I learned git with GUIs.
