Here are a few pieces of software Iāve started using and really wanted to share.
Exercism
I rediscovered a very nice piece of software that I decided to donate to, since Iāve been using it heavily for the past few weeks. That software, or website, is called Exercism. Itās a platform that lets you learn many programming languages with exercises. The exercises are not as ho-hum as just doing LeetCode problems, and the platform has a very nice gamified feel to it all. What I like most about it is that most problems take a good 15-30 minutes depending on difficulty, and thatās just perfect for days that I canāt dedicate several hours to programming, but still want to get my fingers moving a bit.
Qutebrowser
A major Arc browser vulnerability was discovered by a security researcher, and it has been the talk of the town. More worryingly for me though was that I am an Arc browser user. Reading this didnāt sit well with me, and I thought that yeah, maybe I donāt need to use this, that its features arenāt really all that great.
So I am giving my favorite browser another shot: Qutebrowser. That might sound weird, but Qutebrowser has a lot of issues that were hard for me to overcome, but about a week in, I am feeling hopeful.
New Reeder
My favorite RSS app came out with its new version, and I am loving it. While I find it unfortunate that its a subscription based product, the pricing is really lovely and I donāt mind paying for it at that price range. In truth, I found the older Reeder version a bit difficult to grasp. The UI was nice but a lot of the actions were not intuitive to me. This new one feels like its going in the right direction.
