This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

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

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

  • Cross-platform support. That's a problem with :grep, how does vim solve it? Well, in the same way :make does. We can configure the external command vim calls with the variable grepprg. Say that instead of using grep we want to use ripgrep, in order to do that we add this to our config.

  • fzf.vim

    fzf :heart: vim

  • The last external search tool I'll mention is fzf.vim. This is a plugin that provides an interface where we can execute an interactive search. I won't get into any details here. Just going to tell you something I found out long after I started using it.

  • 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.
