/uses
A living document of the gear and software that helps me build things and stay productive. This page is inspired by uses.tech, a collection of /uses pages from folks all over the web.
Think of it as a transparent look at the tools I rely on daily: no unnecessary fluff, just the essentials that get the job done.
Hardware
Development
- Zed My primary code editor.
- OpenCode My coding agent of choice. I use TUI and OpenChamber for GUI.
- OpenChamber My main workspace, with an integrated browser and a complete loop for reviewing files, code, and commits.
- Ghostty Not a big terminal user, but for the little work I do on it, Ghostty fits my workflows better.
- Helium My main browser. Minimal, distraction-free, and stays out of the way.
