Uses
This is an exhaustive list of everything that I use in my day-to-day for my web projects. :)
I hope you enjoy reading!
Workspace
- MacBook Pro – My primary machine for all development work and internet browsing.
- Laravel Valet – Lightweight development environment for Laravel and PHP projects, there are options like Herd but I've never had any issues here. Why rock the boat?
- DBngin – Simple local database management that just works.
- TablePlus – A client I've used for years for managing both local and production databases. Highly, highly recommend.
Development
- PHPStorm – My main IDE, developed by JetBrains and is the only option for PHP in my opinion.
Hosting & Deployment
- Upcloud – My main hosting provider, great region locations and amazing support.
- Hetzner – Used for lower-priority projects of mine.
- Ploi – My go-to for deploying Laravel projects. Reliable and Dennis the owner is a lovely guy.
- GitHub Pages – Great for hosting static sites like this one and Vanguard's docs.
- Porkbun – Where I register all my domains and is my favourite out of many I've tried before.
Productivity
- MullvadVPN – I typically use a VPN all the time and I highly recommend you do so too!
- Apple Mail – The default mail client on MacOS. I love how it just works and is straightforward. No bling no fuss.
