  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • intellij-plugins

    Open-source plugins included in the distribution of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and other IDEs based on the IntelliJ Platform

    The application I spent the most time during the day is my IDE. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA with the following must-have plugins:

  • Rectangle

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

    To quickly adjust and split any application window, I use Rectangle. This simple application allows adjusting the sizing of windows and quickly placing two next together, for example.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • ohmyzsh

    🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

    For the shell, I'm using zsh with Oh My Zsh. I'm using the default theme robbyrussell, and the following plugins: git, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting and history.

  • iTerm2

    iTerm2 is a terminal emulator for Mac OS X that does amazing things.

    I've installed iTerm2 as a replacement for the macOS native terminal. The main reason is the split pane feature that allows me to run multiple shell sessions on a single screen.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

    For quick project investigations or when writing blog posts in Markdown, I prefer VS Code. I have installed the following extensions:

  • 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.
