Installed Tools

All the installed tools and their purpose.

General

• Docker - an alternative to virtual machines that creates reproducible environments for your code.
• Insomnia - test network requests—mostly for testing REST and GraphQL services. Postman is a good alternative.
• Kitematic - a GUI for Docker that lets you easily manage containers.
• Mojibar - easily search for and copy emojis from your menu bar (probably the most crucial piece of software we use)
• n - manage Node.js versions easily. nvm is a good alternative, but we use n for now. You can type n latest at any time to install the latest current version of Node.js.
• Now - deploy static files, Node.js-based servers, or Docker-based systems just by typing now. The static hosting is unlimited and free, so it's awesome for sharing files or getting a static testing environment.
• Sequel Pro (aka "Pancakes") - database client for MySQL & MariaDB databases
• serve - instantly start a static file server anywhere on your machine just by typing serve. Also great for sharing files locally when AirDrop just work work.
