Daily Development Toolkit

A list of tools I use every day to build, ship, and maintain software.

💻 Hardware

• MacBook Air (M1) – Silent, fast, and just enough for development work, though a MacBook Pro upgrade would be nice.

🧠 Editors & IDEs

• VS Code – Primary IDE for larger projects, debugging, and quick prototyping.
• Neovim – Keyboard driven editor for maximum efficiency and flow. Still learning.

🎨 Frontend

• HTML / CSS / JavaScript – Core web fundamentals.
• React / React Native – Cross-platform UI development.
• Markdown – Writing, documentation, and content-driven sites.

📱 React Native & tooling

React Native for cross platform apps (JavaScript / TypeScript).

• React Native CLI — for bare/native projects and direct native edits.
• TypeScript — type safety across the codebase.
• React Navigation — app navigation and routing.
• Jest + react-native-testing-library — unit and component testing.
• Detox — end-to-end testing on device/emulator.
• MobX – Preferred state management solution for React Native projects. I’ve explored alternatives on other projects.

⚙️ DevOps & CI

• Codemagic / Bitrise – Mobile CI/CD pipelines.
• Railway / Docker Deployments – Simple, fast hosting.
