I use a Mac mini (M1, 2020), 16 GB memory. It's working great so far for recording.
Very quite and fast enough for my kind of editing.
I have a couple of 24'' ASUS VG248 Full HD monitors. I use one to record the screen
and the other to have some notes/code opened that I look at while recording.
For screen recording and editing I use ScreenFlow. I used to
use Camtasia which I got for
a good price using a promo code. However when I needed to upgrade to the newest version
I found out that ScreenFlow is almost half the price and it does everything that I want.
I have recently been recording using a RØDE NT1 with a RØDE AI-1 interface. RØDE is also
responsible for attaching the mic to the desk using the PSA1 boom arm.
I use Adobe Audacity
for post-processing my voice recordings. I do things like noise reduction, normalization,
equalization, etc...
Coding & Services
I currently code on a Mac mini (M1, 2020), 16 GB memory and a 14-inch MacBook Pro
(M3 Pro, 2023), 18 GB Memory.
I use VS Code as my main code editor for
both; my daily work and recording courses and videos.
I use Dank Mono as a font for VS Code. I also use this
font on this website in the blog for code snippets.
I use the default macOS terminal with the default Z shell. And Amazon Q for assistance.
For browsers, I use Safari for
browsing and Google Chrome for development.
I use other browsers for testing.
I use MAMP for WordPress development, Postman for API testing, Notion for notes and task
management, Slack and Discord for communication and Keynote for course presentations.
This website is built with SvelteKit, hosted
on Netlify and the code is hosted on GitHub. Amazon's S3 and CloudFront are used to host some assets.
I use Sendy for newsletters. It's a self-hosted
service which uses Amazon Simple Email Service . It's written using PHP and thus it needs the LAMP stack
to be hosted. I use a DigitalOcean droplet with the LAMP stack
installed to host it.
