Tools of Trade
Writing
- Typora: My main writing editor. If I'm writing for long periods of time, I prefer a program that isn't syncing constantly to the cloud, as I sometimes find that causes lags in the UI. I sync my files using Dropbox instead.
- Ellipsus: For when I do need an online editor, I use Ellipsus.
- Obsidian: This is my main note-taking and brainstorming program (do you get the sense I just love Markdown? Because I do!).
- Atticus: This is my eBook formatter.
- Bookfunnel: This is the online service that hosts and distributes my eBooks.
Art
- Krita: The main digital painting program I use.
- Inkscape: I use this for designing my website layout and book covers.
- GIMP: For photo manipulation and texts.
- Sketchbook: Good old paper and pencil when I just want to doodle.
Website
- Pelican Static Site Generator: Fun fact, this entire website is actually 3 statically generated sites in a trenchcoat!
- Bulma.io: CSS Framework
- Sass: CSS compiler
- jQuery + Handlebars: Yes, I know my front-end skills are a decade outdated, but with a very simple static website, do I really need React?
- Visual Studio Code: Code editor
- Cygwin: Windows terminal
- Websavers: Website host
