Toolbox #3: Bruno - The open source alternative to Postman

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you’re still using Postman, you’ve probably noticed it’s been pushing harder and harder towards the cloud, mandatory accounts and paid subscriptions. Bruno takes the complete opposite stance: on top of having a very cute app icon, it’s an open source, offline-first API client that stores your collections directly as files on your machine. No cloud, no account, no forced sync. Your collections are files — you version them with Git like the rest of your code.

Toolbox #2: Tabby - The modern terminal that replaces all the others

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you’re still juggling between PuTTY, the default Windows terminal and three SSH windows scattered all over the place, Tabby will probably make your life easier. It’s a modern, open source terminal that bundles an SSH client and serial terminal into a single app. After trying many others (Termius, Ghostty, …) I always end up coming back to Tabby. I’ve been using it daily for a while now and it’s become my main terminal on all my machines.

Toolbox #1: Devhints - The ultimate cheatsheet so you never forget a syntax again

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Devhints.io is an open source cheatsheet collection that covers pretty much everything we deal with daily in IT: Docker, Git, Vim, Bash, JavaScript, Go, Ansible, and dozens more. Unlike official docs that go on for 200 pages, here it’s one page, simple, intuitive, just the essential commands. It’s been in my bookmarks for ages and I use it pretty often — it only made sense to make it the first tool in this series.

Toolbox: new series!

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Kicking off a new series that will probably be very long (maybe even infinite 😀): Toolbox.

The idea behind this is to quickly introduce a tool I use that has helped (and still helps) me in my work. It could be a web tool, a self-hosted solution, a CLI, software, or whatever else. No overthinking, no 3000-word tutorials, just the essentials to make you want to try it yourself and share my tips.
