Ask HN: What paid applications do you use?

Posted by eduardsi on Monday March 30, 2020 @08:27AM
from the ask-hn dept.

In the world filled with free and open-source software - if you're paying for an app - probably it's really good. What's on your top 5 list? It can be a desktop or mobile app. The only rule: useful for a dev.

- AI Writer - my preferred MD app, simply beautiful

- Bartender - removes clutter from macOS icon bar

- Paper - for doodling and fleshing out ideas on my iPad

- Brilliant.org - my preferred way to brush up my maths skills

- TeuxDeux as a simple and timeless todo list

Does Fastmail count? Otherwise, none! \o/

The main apps I use every day are: vim, terminator, hexchat, Evolution (with the EWS plugin) and ssh. All running under Cinnamon in either Fedora, Debian or Ubuntu OSes.

Office 365.

I used to have Dropbox and evernote, but switched to paper and a fountain pen, and OneDrive.

Also, pinegrow web editor because... frontend is very time consuming for backend people like me.

Standard Notes, its search and tag features have basically replaced the need for OneNote

Simplepush.io would be the only one worth mentioning.
