The Setup: Stuff I Use
Note: Idea borrowed from Paul Stamatiou with permission.
This is a list of applications, products and services I personally use on a regular basis. I was not paid for placement of anything on this list, they’re all things I personally find useful. If you have any suggestions about applications, products or services to try out or replace what I’m currently using, I’d love to hear about it!
