    Swift Version Manager

    • One disadvantage of Swift is how Apple decided to deploy new versions. They only come bundled with new versions of their operating systems. However, with swiftenv (kylef/swiftenv) other versions than the bundled one can be installed. So maybe that adds a possibility to run more modern swift versions on older hardware?

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    • Firstly, install Xcode or the Xcode command line tools. I recommend installing the package manager brew (homebrew). It installs Xcode command line tools for you and comes in handy when you install software that's not in the App Store (and even if it is!).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
