Uses
Every context demands different tools. These are the ones that made the cut — the stack I build with, the systems I run on, and the equipment I show up with.
I love working with my favorite toys.
I only recommend products I use and love. If you sign up for any of these tools with my affiliate link, I receive a small credit to my account at no cost to you!

I've replaced some of my tools over the years. Others, I end up using for other people but am not a fan. There are a few others on my radar that I'd like to try out some day (when there's a right fit and budget!) on projects.
Used in the Past: Baremetrics, Mixpanel, PhantomBot, Timely, Hike, Zenkit, Webflow, Netlify CMS, WordPress, InVision, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premiere Pro, Front, Kartra, Memberium, Autocode, Heroku, Whereby
Infrequent: Infusionsoft by Keap, Coda, Notion, Jotform, Calendly, Streamlabs
Keeping an Eye On but Don't Use (Yet): Simple Analytics, Mode, Qlik, Ionic Studio, Memberstack, Gather Content, Help Scout
And then there's the graveyard. A very salty graveyard lacking desirable replacements.
RIP, Services I Loved & Remain Salty About: Kifi (acq. 2016 by Google Spaces), Google Spaces (2017), Inbox by Google (2019), Google Play Music (2020), Meetingbird (2020)
