Ask HN: As a developer/designer/founder, what services/tools are you paying for?

My answer:

Main, kinda obvious stuff:

- Github subscription

- Digital Ocean hosting

- Namecheap domains

- Udemy courses (learning react from Stephen Grider, awesome)

- Audible audiobooks

Other:

- https://gingkoapp.com/ for breaking down goals, writing, all sorts of stuff

- Netflix

- http://www.harmontown.com - I love great comedy

- Fenix - great twitter client

- Editorial - brilliant text editor for iOS

- PocketCasts - good podcasts app on android

- Moon reader pro - fantastic ebook reader for android

Awesome free tools that I use:

- Emacs with org mode for pretty much everything

- draw.io for diagrams

- figma - discovered it only recently, an insanely brilliant design app.

- Sometimes workflowy for notes

- Sometimes trello for organizing bugs/features

DNSimple for domains and DNS, a tiny DigitalOcean VM, a Heroku dyno or two, GitHub, Feedbin for RSS, 1Password’s absolutely fantastic personal/family subscription service, FastMail (think “Google Apps with a human you can contact, and who speaks English, and who tells you before and after he/she does things, and somehow provides this for a latte a month”), Netflix.
