My Library
Some of my favorite resources that I've returned to over and over again across my career.
Tools
Reading
Good for:
Leaders
Founders
Builders
Claude Code
Will we get Fable back?
Codex
My all-in-one.
ChatGPT
You've heard of this one.
Cursor
Big fan of composer 2.5, v fast and awesome to use for front-end work.
Claude
I rarely open the desktop app now, mostly bc the usage limitations. Claude Design is nice, though.
1Password
I'm disturbed by the number of you who don't use a password manager.
Raycast
If you like to tinker and want to use your computer better, this is a must.
Wispr Flow
Voice to text is a life changing thing.
Monologue
Also voice to text, would be S tier if I could remove seeing the speaker (sorry).
CleanShot X
You take a lot of screenshots when working with AI; this is the best one.
Notion Calendar
It's solely here because Apple makes adding a Zoom link unnecessarily difficult.
Figma
Will be interesting to see strategically if they lean more into vibe coders or stay for the pros.
Magic Path
One of the popular Figma AI-native alternatives.
Cloudflare
Does an important job very well.
Dia
My everyday browser. Chatting with AI across tabs changes how you use a computer.
Next.js
Stumbled into it and Vercel while learning to build, and well, never left.
Ghost
Like it a lot for writing, especially if you can self-host it. Not as robust as a newsletter platform imo.
Audible
ADHD life hack - listen on 2x.
