Recommendations

A shelf, not a directory.

Things we actually reach for, kept deliberately short. Every entry says why, not just what — and carries the date we last looked, so a stale pick shows its age. Any relationship we have with a pick is named on the card.

Service

exe.dev ↗

Affiliate link

Ephemeral and long-running Linux VMs with shared resource limits.

Library

Reatom ↗

We use this

Reactive STM library for JavaScript and TypeScript with batteries included.

Why Built on composable reactive primitives that handle state, async workflows, forms, and routes in one system.

Software

We use this

Cross-platform management for AI coding agents across desktop, web, and mobile.
