![]() ![]() Unlike most content management systems, Cloudcannon was built with Hugo in mind. I use Cloudcannon for any client project which requires CMS. Having worked with a bunch of different tools in the past – WordPress, Jekyll, Gatsby and Eleventy to name a few – Hugo is hands down my favourite to work with. I use it for both client projects and all sorts of personal projects. In 2021 I committed to using Hugo to build content based websites. I use Github to host all my code remotely. Working with static site generators and CI/CD it’s hard to avoid. However, I also use Typora when writing markdown for its seemless preview. I use it with a couple of plugins installed– hyper-night-owl theme and hyperborder–to improve the visual apperence. Inkscape** has a feature called Trace Bitmap which does a great job of replacing Adobe Illustrator’s Live Trace, so this is what I use it for. It’s super intuitive and a lot of fun to use. Glyphs is my choice for designing typefaces and icons. I use these two apps less so than Photo, but they’re handy to have for vector illustration and creating print assets, respectively. Affinity software is fast, intuitive to learn and you can’t beat a one-off payment over a monthly subscription.Īffinity Designer and Affinity Publisher are also installed on my machine. However, since the Adobe takeover, I’ve been looking into using Penpot**, an open-source competitor, particularly for use with personal projects.Īffinity Photo has replaced Photoshop as my choice for photo editing and creating raster based graphics. I find myself using it for all sorts of design related work, not just UI. I sit on a Herman Miller Aeron Chair which I found on eBay for a decent price. But I use it everyday, and it’s home to many of my favourite books, so it was well worth the price. Combined with the rest of the shelving, this the most expensive piece of furniture I own. I work at a 606 Universal Shelving System Desk Shelf. My Apple AirPods Pro were a more recent purchase, and I only have good things to say–one of the best Apple product releases in a good while. I’m not much into phones, so I have no plans to upgrade any time soon. They’re still going strong and kick out a good bit of bass, so I’ve stuck with them. I remember using them when I made music at university back in 2006. I’ve had Logitech x-230 speakers since what feels like the beginning of time. It’s certainy not the best out there, but it gets the job done. My Dell P2415Q Monitor I don’t have much of an opinion about. I’ve been using an Apple Magic Keyboard and Apple Magic Trackpad 2 combo for years now, and I’m happy with both. It’s strong, collapsible and super light, so you can take it everywhere. I picked mine up during the Kickstarter, so it’s an early model, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve changed much since then. My laptop sits on a Roost Laptop Stand, which I cannot recommend highly enough. I went for the base model which is more than enough for my needs. ![]() I haven’t heard the fans spin once since making the switch. In 2022 I switched to the MacBookPro M1 14”, after my 15” MacBook Pro (Mid 2015) finally gave out. My office setup and the app and services I use day to day, inspired by the great Wes Bos.
