For me, the following tools made my Windows development environment substantially better:
- Windows Terminal (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal)
- Windows Sandbox
- Visual Studio Code Remote extension
- Sublime Merge
- ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex)
Entertainment: VLC followed by QMMP
File management: PCManFM, especially for viewing PDF covers at beautiful sizes
Phone: QuickEdit+, Spiro (fidget toy), SmallBASIC (+AppImages on desktop), OsmAnd- (hiking)
Terminal:
find . -iname "blah" (find a file quickly. find in general was amazing to me in 2022, with -mtime, -size, and other flags)
du -hs (how big is the stuff in this folder? Ah, that big.)
lsblk (figure out what your linux system named your usb disk, for example)
mc + sshfs (for moving files around the LAN mostly; midnight commander's progress bars are very nice)
Scripting: ABS-lang.org
Overall I give my awards to `find`, ABS, QuickEdit+, PCManFM, VLC, and Geany.
I'd agree with Windows Terminal with WSL2/Ubuntu and VSCode.
- iTerm2 terminal (https://iterm2.com/)
- Visual Studio Code
- Typora for Markdown notes (https://typora.io/)
- MacPass for password management
CLI:
- Everything developed with bubbletea :)(https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)
- Homebrew
- jq
(this is the best software I used during 2022, but obviously this is not "new" software: software that also had a first release in 2022).
I'm planning on adding Authelia [1], Prometheus and Grafana Loki to the mix soon, which should all integrate nicely :)
- Kaleidoscope is the best diff / merge gui app I have used. (https://kaleidoscope.app)
- NetNewsWire, FOSS macOS and iOS feed reader.
- topgrade, CLI to upgrade most things on my systems.
- Forklift, macOS client for file management, especially good with remote sources (SFTP, FTP, Google Drive, S3…)
- Raycast, Spotlight replacement with better unit conversion and plugins
- Infuse, macOS/iOS video player, can connect to remote sources like Jellyfin and Plex.
