Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

  • The specs are great and i agree that having one for the more complicated features is a great benefit.

    I have also seen specs with added pseudocode, but am beginning to think that often leads to a poor code quality.

    Note that Windows Terminal project uses issue numbers for specs, so there are not 5000 specs :)

    Another file worth looking at from time to time is the Roadmap.

  • winget-cli

    WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).

  • Apparently they’re working on an official package manager, open source even:

  • 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.

  • winxcorners

    Hot corners for Windows 10

  • AutoHotkey

    AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows.

  • I've been using Auto Hotkey[1] for a while and it's truly amazing to bring the missing hotkeys feature to Windows.

    This, plus Altdrag[2], Quicklook[3] and Winxcorners[4] are my must have.

  • nyhackr-cli-dev-env

    Reference notes for the Creating a Command Line Driven Development Environment talk.

  • I highly recommend using tmux.

    You'll get forward and reverse searching, split panes, windows (similar to tabs), excellent window and pane management binds (moving them, switching order, zooming in / out, etc.) and persisted sessions that you can save and restore across reboots.

    The best part is it works the same with every terminal so you can super charge any terminal and use the same tmux configuration in multiple environments.

    I gave a command line talk once that focuses on using tmux, Vim and various Unix tools at https://github.com/nickjj/nyhackr-cli-dev-env. There's slides and video links there. The videos all have timestamps so you can jump around to the tmux bits pretty easily.

  • .shells

    My scripts and dotfiles.

  • See my [Phoenix config](https://github.com/NightMachinary/.shells/blob/master/.phoen...) (or Phoenix's docs) to create hotkey windows for any apps. I have been using this with Kitty, and it works very well, unless you want to have multiple windows.

  • PSFzf

    A PowerShell wrapper around the fuzzy finder fzf

  • Are you using PSFzf or something else? https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Rectangle

    Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas
