  • 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!

    Along with WSL I install the Windows Terminal. It has come a long way in a short time. To set it up I copy the settings.json file from a machine where Windows Terminal is already set up how I like it.

  • dotfiles

    My lovely, lovely, dotfiles (by mrrcollins)

    Since I like playing around with Linux at the command line, I already have a bootstrap script and keep my dotfiles in a Git repo making it really easy to set up any Linux machine just as I like 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.

  • ShareX

    ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.

    For screenshots I use Greenshot. I also like a good clipboard manager, so the Ditto clipboard manager is installed. I want to like ShareX for screenshots, but I haven’t had a chance to get comfortable with it.

  • espanso

    Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust

    Finally, the utility I can’t live without, espanso, a cross platform text expander. I don’t know why it isn’t talked about more, but it is great!

  • Ditto

    Ditto is an extension to the Windows Clipboard. You copy something to the Clipboard and Ditto takes what you copied and stores it in a database to retrieve at a later time.

    For screenshots I use Greenshot. I also like a good clipboard manager, so the Ditto clipboard manager is installed. I want to like ShareX for screenshots, but I haven’t had a chance to get comfortable with it.
