  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    • I recommend that people migrate their user folder and reinstall apps as /u/Electrical_West_5381 recommended. Using a package manager like brew.sh can make reinstalling apps much easier.

  • 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.
