For 2022, Obsidian on iOS and Mac (with PDF Expert for annotating PDFs in my vault). For all time, Preview.app on macOS, possibly the single greatest advantage Mac has over Windows.
Preview.app is so much underestimated. i realized its importance when i use my windows machine. perfect app. miss u so much :(
Caddy [0] has been an absolute joy to work with. I switched this year from nginx for my sideproject-hosting VPS. Just letting it handle the SSL certs and configuring a static site or a reverse proxied route in literally 3 lines of config is really nice. I'm planning on adding Authelia [1], Prometheus and Grafana Loki to the mix soon, which should all integrate nicely :) [0] https://caddyserver.com/ [1] https://www.au…
It has been an AI year for me: - ChatGPT - Stable Diffusion - MidJourney - Dall.e 2 - GitHub Copilot / OpenAI Codex - The new Tesla Copilot
I don't do much design, and while I'm super impressed w/ the graphic side of things. ChatGPT and Copilot have been more useful in my day-to-day and have blown up how I work, in fact it's curtailed some dev burnout, by doing the mundane things like writing tests.
Also on Windows, mostly. - Git, for being so versatile, after one learns its basic internal model. - Tortoise Git, for making my day to day job of dealing with branches and merges easier. - 7zip - my workhorse for compression for many years. - Visual Studio 2022. Specifically: its debugger, the refactoring support, and its recent intellicode feature, which for me gives better suggestions than Github's Copilot. And it…

What does preview.app do?
The signature feature is awesome - it lets you use a trackpad or iPhone as signature pad, or capture an image. Signatures are saved for future use.
PDF support is really great - things like annotations work well and it supports proper page numbering (e.g. textbooks often have page 1 starting 10 or 20 pages in; Preview handles this) - something that built in options on windows tend to lack.
