Uses

Having come from a background of making games with Game Maker for over a decade, it was a tough decision to switch to Godot, but I'm really glad I did. Working with open source software feels great, and so much tricky functionality in Game Maker is trivial to implement in Godot.

There's not much to say about VS Code that hasn't already been said, but for my purposes it's fast and reliable for web development. I used to even take notes with it before discovering Obsidian.

An excellent tool for creating pixel art, I've been using it for years but still feel like I've just scratched the surface on what you can do with it.

A vibrant and versatile 64-color palette created by Arne for their Famicube fantasy console. I use it for most of my pixel art these days, along with some other colors.

While I don't make digital art as much as I used to, Krita is an impressive open source painting program that feels leagues better to work with than other open source offerings.

A to-do list app that helps keep me on track with everything from daily habits, important dates, and long-term projects. Bonus points because I also can't help but admire the remote and async-first philosophies of Doist, the company that develops Todoist.

A pleasant and powerful note-taking app that works with plain Markdown files. It's good to know that I'm not locked into some proprietary format, and while I don't take full advantage of all of the organizational tools, it's become essential to me even only having used it for a short time.

An open source file syncing tool that keeps my Obsidian notes updated between my devices. Unfortunately I encounter the occasional issue with sync conflicts when making changes to some files, but I get the feeling that this is some kind of user error.
