My Tools, Stack & Workflow in 2025

Published on May 20, 2025

Every builder needs their trenches—editors, terminals, deploys. Over the last year, I paired down to tools that are fast, intuitive, and get out of my way.

💻 Code Editor & Experiments

• VS Code: Lightweight, extendable, and full of shortcuts that cut dev time in half.
• Vite: Instant server reload, module-based hot updates—perfect for small projects.

🌐 Deployment & Hosting

• Netlify: Free SSL, continuous deploys from Git—just push and it’s live.
• GitHub Pages: For simple static sites—no complications.

🤖 Git + Automation

• GitHub: Repo, issue tracking, history—my source of truth.
• Copilot: AI copiloting — comes in handy, but I'm not dependent on it.

🗒 Notes & Design

• Notion: My second brain—for roadmap, ideas, to-dos.
• Figma (light use): Quick wireframes, simple layout concepts.

📦 Build Workflow

1. Ideate → Sketch → Note in Notion.
2. Prototype in VS Code + Vite.
3. Host on Netlify / GitHub Pages.
4. Test, ship, iterate fast.

This stack helps me move from idea to launch in under a day—ideal for an indie builder working solo.
