Ask HN: What piece(s) of software do you wish you would have discovered earlier?

It is not really a software but I was so happy to find this javascript library that allows me to use vuejs single file components (.vue files) WITHOUT needing any builds and no need for nodejnpm hell hole. I am so excited to find this one and many thanks to the author.

I maintain a list of tools that I find really useful at https://srijanshetty.in/almanac.html.

Some of them are: - tmux, zsh, vi - fzf - zathura PDF reader - fasd - use frecency to jump around in the terminal - vcsh and mr to manage dotfiles

Emacs, so many years spent on proprietary && not extendable editors when all you need included in one piece of sowtware (magit, gnus, dired and so on).
