Backlog MD
Another tool I've really enjoyed using lately is backlog.md. It helps me merge my workflow with that of the AI tooling that I'm currently using every day. I've always been a great fan of Markdown, so that was an easy win.Somo
Somo is what netstat should've been. A clean interface to manage network connections and listening ports.GitHub cron jobs

I never thought that something like TypeScript Go would ever see the light of day. But being a Go native since around 1.0 (that's around 2011), I'm not surprised.
