Software

Wezterm + Departure Mono + neovim + jujutsu. My coding needs are relatively simple, but I like tools that are fast and integrate well into the terminal. Starting to eye helix, but configuring things is a time sink. jj made version control fun, and was a good replacement for the lazygit tui.

Firefox + vimium + uBlock Origin + Kagi. What can I say, I like my vim motions. I usually browse the web with javascript disabled and extensive filter lists in uBlock Origin. Kagi is quite good for search.

RSS + NetNewsWire. NetNewsWire is a beautifully designed app. I follow some 300 or so feeds via RSS and read them in the app. I use a customized version of the broadsheet theme with Palatino as the main font.

obsidian. Plaintext journaling. Syncs decently enough with icloud or git.

Zotero + bibtex + (typst | pandoc + LaTeX). Zotero works great for reading and saving papers, though I’m kind of a mess within the actual app. Bibtex spoiled me on using any other form of bibliography and citation management for writing, so I spent a lot of time writing in either LaTeX or in markdown. I use Pandoc for converting between these file formats, or when I need to produce a .docx file to share for revisions. Over the past year I’ve replaced these with typst (ˈtīpəst), since it works out-of-the-box with bibtex files. I can’t sing its praises enough; with typst I’ve actually started writing my own templates and tools, instead of trying to kludge together packages that other people wrote.
