What I Use for Web Development

Published on Dec 3, 2023

Some technologies that I use today:

  • VS Code for my editor
  • Svelte/SvelteKit for my framework as it merges back-end and front-end nicely
  • HTML, obviously
  • CSS, went down the Bootstrap -> tailwind -> vanilla -> open-props.style CSS path. I’ve settled on open-props, mainly because I’m not a designer and it is easy to use and stays out of my way. (going to therapy after migrating from Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5)
  • Javascript/Node.js, needed to access database/files so had to move to server-based node.js
  • pnpm over npm as it is faster and a more disk efficient package manager
  • D3 for data visualizations, but now it is more utilitarian as svelte is declarative and easier to manipulate the DOM
  • Observable for data visualizations
  • threlte (svelte and three.js) for exploring 3d spaces
  • gsap(GreenSock Animation Platform) for complex animations
  • chrome is my target web browser but I am learning how to automate testing on all browsers, just need to remember where I read how to do that.
  • python for data engineering and data science
  • a little databricks for data engineering and data science
  • RSS
  • Vercel, free tier to see what production deployments look like
  • Docker to spin up various technologies like databases or kali
  • Github for storage, backup and version control
  • git from the command line as I don’t trust myself with the GUI version
  • drizzle for a Typescript ORM
  • turso an SQLite Database as a service (free tier)
  • figma for some graphics work
  • blender for 3D models especially the dioramas, love dioramas
  • sketchfab for 3d models
  • pending - Suprabase to store blog posts
  • pending - PocketHost.io to store blog posts in pocketbase but not able to get my account working

Note: I don’t get paid for endorsing anything…yet
