    How I Work: from apps to index cards

    I’ve always appreciated seeing what gear, software, and workflows other folks use day-to-day.  It’s part inspiration, part curiosity, and sometimes a great way to discover that niche tool you didn’t know you needed.

    For years, Wes Bos’ /uses page has set the bar and the uses.tech site has turned this idea into a community catalog of developers, designers, and makers sharing their setups.  I’ve browsed more of those pages than I can count… and now, I’ve finally built one of my own.

    ???? Check out my /uses page here

    It’s a living list of what I rely on daily across:

    • Hardware (from desk to monitor to Oura ring)
    • Software and developer tools
    • My analog task system (3×5 cards > to-do apps)
    • Fitness and photo tools
    • WordPress plugins, themes, and host setups
    • Social platforms, backup strategies, and more

    I’ve also added some personal quirks, like how I stack-rank index cards each morning, what tools I’m still testing, and where I hang out online (ranked by actual usage).  It’s not just a list, it’s a snapshot of how I work and what keeps the machine running.

    As I tweak my setup, experiment with new tools, or shift platforms, I’ll keep the page updated.  If you’re into /uses pages, workflows, or just curious how other folks work, then I hope it’s useful.  And if you’ve got your own /uses page, I’d love to see it.  Drop me a link!
