# What is this?

Every now and then, I find something interesting that I want to share.

Sublime Text (opens new window) -- This has been my go-to code editor for the past 10yrs. I am sticking with v3 for a little while.
Navicat (opens new window) -- This has been my go-to database client for the past few years. It is just kind of expensive
TablePlus (opens new window) -- Great budget alternative to Navicat (opens new window)
Docker (opens new window) -- Good alternative to Vagrant (opens new window) or Valet (opens new window)
Postman (opens new window) -- API client that is pretty good when building out your back-end
MacDown (opens new window) -- My go-to markdown editor
Duet (opens new window) -- How I use my iPad as a second monitor for work (Yes, I know that Sidecar (opens new window) exists)
iTerm2 (opens new window) -- A really good upgrade from the native macOS terminal

Macbook Pro (opens new window) -- It is what I use for both my job and my side work

Saucelabs (opens new window) -- Allows you to test against a lot of browsers / operating systems through your browser
Render (opens new window) -- How I host a lot of my stuff
Heroku (opens new window)
Mailtrap (opens new window) -- Great for testing how emails go out, in your development environment

CORS Anywhere (opens new window) -- It acts as a reverse proxy and adds CORS headers to the proxied request

Google Fi (opens new window) -- It's great because you can get 10 free data sims

ITProTV (opens new window) -- I bought a year of this during a black friday sale, a while back. It's nice.

Bivvy (Pet Insurance) (opens new window) -- It costs $10/pet/month and is seriously a game-changer.

Scott's Cheap Flights (opens new window) -- Tell them where you want to travel from and to and they will shoot you an email when there is a cheap price on airfare
FareDrop (opens new window) -- Very similar to Scott's (opens new window), above
