Those of you who do web development in Ubuntu, I'm curious what tools you use.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Ubuntu

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

    SoapUI is a free and open source cross-platform functional testing solution for APIs and web services.

  • Eclipse IDE (IntelliJ when I have to depending on the team) (oh and I use the Eclipse package download site, not the installer) Bash shell (WSL on Windows) Gnu CLI commands Dbeaver (although I tend to use the version in the repos) MySQL Workbench (although I tend to use the version in the repos) Meld (like it better than any other comparison tool for ad hoc visual file compares) Apache JMeter (performance testing) (I tend to download and run manually instead of the one in the repos) GIMP Wireshark (great for figuring out why someone's fancy REST client isn't passing JSON correctly) SoapUI (or Postman depending on the team, I prefer SoapUI - which does REST)

  • brackets

    An open source code editor for the web, written in JavaScript, HTML and CSS. (by brackets-cont)

  • I like to use Brackets. It's fairly lightweight and has all the tools I need. If I am doing a quick edit I just use Vim.

  • 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.
