Uses

The tools I actually reach for. Everything here earns its place by being in something I shipped, not by being on a list.

Mobile

Swift and SwiftUI · everything native on iOS and macOS

Xcode · the only editor I use for Apple platforms

Flutter and Dart · cross-platform work, and most of what I shipped as an indie

Kotlin · native Android

React Native · when a project is already in the JS ecosystem

Web

Next.js · this site, savemyposts.com and ripstop.dev

TypeScript · everywhere on the web side

Tailwind CSS · styling without leaving the markup

Backend

NestJS · the SaveMyPosts gateway

Spring Boot · the geo-fencing engine, with PostGIS and Redis

Go · smaller services that need to stay fast and boring

Python · data analysis and one-off scripts

Firebase · auth and realtime data when speed matters more than control

Shipping

Netlify · this site

Vercel · most of the Next.js side projects

Railway · containers that need a database next to them

GitHub Actions · CI, releases and a few scheduled jobs

Homebrew · how Portman gets installed

My own tools

Portman · menu bar app to find and kill whatever is holding a port

Ripstop · remote config so I can fix a shipped app without a store review
