Here are the tools I use to do stuff:

GitHub Pages - to host this site and others
Fathom analytics - to tell me where people go on this site and others (affiliate link 💰)
UsabilityHub - for quick user research studies. (See here for coupon codes! You can get 10% off a subscription & 20 free testing credits)
Canva - to design amazing YouTube thumbnails
Droplr - to take & share screenshots, and to record notes to myself & website audits
Formspark - to add forms to this website
Google Workspace - for docs, sheets, calendar, email (despite all my beefs with Google)
ScreenFlow - for recording and editing videos
Camo - Lets me use an old iphone with a cracked screen as a webcam
Google Workspace mail merge - to send my newsletter
Gumroad - to sell books and courses
Vellum - to do interior layout for books
Namecheap - to buy domain names which I sometimes use
Zoom - for video calls. (I’ve tried and liked other tools, but everybody just gave me a hard time about not using Zoom)
Excalidraw - for putting together quick and crude but cute wireframes
iTerm - for editing text and running scripts. I spend more time in this app than any other, by far
Firefox - to browse interwebs

Here’s a little map of what stuff I store locally vs. on other people’s computers (a.k.a. “the cloud”).

(If the image makes your eyeballs bleed, the short version is “web hosting and email in the cloud, other stuff local.”)
