keychron k8 pro gang rise up. best budget mech keyboard period.

claude all the way honestly. the claude code feature alone is worth it. but that’s just me.

honestly this isn’t even a debate anymore. figma won lol. sketch users in 2026 be like ‘but my plugins!’

just use cursor lol. been using it for 6 months now and never looked back. windsurf is fine for hobby stuff but cursor is on another level.

honestly just use obsidian lol

free + local + plugins = best combo

notion keeps adding ai features i don’t need 😅

gamer/streamer using AI for content creation:

• OpenAI – most reliable, best integrations. GPT-4o is fast.
• Anthropic – Claude 3.5 is amazing for reasoning. cheaper than GPT.
• Gemini – cheapest, good for bulk. not as smart tho.

my setup: Claude for writing, GPT for code, Gemini for batch tasks.

dev who maintains all three at work.

• PostgreSQL – most powerful, JSON support is insane. my pick.
• MySQL – simpler, good for simpler apps. but NoSQL-like in latest versions?
• SQLite – great for prototyping, can scale with tools like Turso

for startup: PostgreSQL. use Supabase or Neon for managed hosting.

gumroad is literally the easiest. i launched in 10 minutes.

yes 10% sounds like a lot but for small indie stuff? worth it.

lemonsqueezy is great for EU customers (VAT handled = huge pain saved)

stripe is for when you have volume. setup takes days.

start with Gumroad, migrate to Stripe when you scale. simple.
