My Design and Development Setup - Fall 2017

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz. I design, code, and am an author of things. Check out my agency called Couple of Creatives https://coupleofcreatives.com and my blog Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com🤘🏻 View a full list of everything here: https://web-crunch.com/my-design-and-development-setup-fall-2017/ ========================================== Chair - Steelcase Gesture - https://store.steelcase.com/seating/office-chairs/gesture ========================================== Computer (s) - PC / Hackintosh - https://www.tonymacx86.com/ - My Build - - https://pcpartpicker.com/user/justalever/saved/RyxGXL - Mac OS - Windows 10 - MacBook Pro - Just purchased ========================================== Desk I made my own desk. It's a collection of stained 2 x 6 pine. The stain is a Walnut color with a ton of lacquer. I found a third-party standing desk attachment and mounted it to the desktop. I used to use saw horses but wanted something more configurable. The desk itself without the standing attachment was less than $100 to make which to me was worth the extra work! Being a musician, I am a bit of a tone snob. Regular old computer speakers aren't enough for me. Pictured below and in the video is a pair of KRK powered monitors. I combine those with a cheap but deadly subwoofer from Behringer. All in all, I'm very pleased with the audio. It's hella loud :) Check the video for pictures or head to the blog article (https://web-crunch.com/my-design-and-development-setup-fall-2017) ========================================== Basic Workflow - Homebrew + Caskroom - https://caskroom.github.io/ - Alfred - https://www.alfredapp.com/ - Clipy - https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy - 1Password - https://1password.com/ - f.lux - https://justgetflux.com/ - Backblaze - https://www.backblaze.com/ - Mac2imgur - https://github.com/mileswd/mac2imgur ========================================== Development Workflow - Sublime Text - Spacegray Ocean Dark - http://www.sublimetext.com/ - https://github.com/kkga/spacegray - VS Code - Bimbo Theme - https://code.visualstudio.com/ - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pawelgrzybek.bimbo-theme - Hyper - - https://hyper.is/ - http://ohmyz.sh/ - Laravel Valet - https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/valet - Transmit - https://www.panic.com/transmit/ - Sequel Pro - http://www.sequelpro.com/ - PostGres - https://postgresapp.com/ - Image Optim GUI- https://imageoptim.com/mac - SVGO GUI - https://github.com/svg/svgo-gui - Typora - Markdown - https://typora.io/ ========================================== Design Workflow - Affinity Designer / Photo - https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/ - https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ - Adobe PS / AI / IN - http://www.adobe.com/ - Sketch - https://www.sketchapp.com/ - Nucelo - https://nucleoapp.com/ ========================================== Prototyping - Sketch - Invision / Marvel - https://www.invisionapp.com/ - https://marvelapp.com/ Messaging - Slack - https://slack.com/ - Spark Email - https://sparkmailapp.com/ ======================================= 💻 Previously published at: https://web-crunch.com/my-design-and-development-setup-fall-2017/ 💻 Check out the blog: https://web-crunch.com 💡 👫 Check out my agency: https://coupleofcreatives.com 🚀 Links: Weekly Newsletter: https://web-crunch.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/webcrunchblog Twitter(Personal Account): https://twitter.com/justalever Facebook: https://facebook.com/webcrunchblog Dribbble: https://dribbble.com/justalever Github: https://github.com/justalever Medium: https://medium.com/the-web-crunch-publication 📘Check out my book on UX Design: "LUXD: Learn User Experience Design" https://web-crunch.com/books/luxd 📙 Check out my FREE book on Tumblr Theming: "Pro Tumblr Theming" https://web-crunch.com/books/ptt 💯 Need awesome web hosting?
