As a developer, which tool do you can't live without?
Excluding tools like your IDE, terminal, etc
For example, I can't make a SaaS without Stripe. For me is the most useful and easy to use payment gateway.
Is there any essential tool for you?

Firebase IMO. It’s made user authentication and databases much easier to handle for me.
Firebase it's also really important for me when I make some mobile applications. Real-time database saves me a lot of time.
Windows Subsystem for Linux and VS Code for sure.
WSL for Windows Developers is a MUST. Totally agree.
I've installed WSL and connected to VS Code, but I don't know why I should use it😄. All tools I need work perfectly on Windows with no need for Linux or smth.
I wish jetbrains had integration with WSL as good as VSCode.
NewRelic free plan for error + performance monitoring. Also docker.

When your product is small and just getting started, watching user sessions to see how they are doing things you didn't anticipate or where they get stuck has been super valuable and resulted in major changes to our product.
Ditto - once you go clipboard-management, you'll never go back.
I also need this kind of clipboard managements apps. I use the native one in Winsows 10 and Clipboard Indicator in linux. I don't remember the name of the one that I use on Mac OS.
AWS. We are currently using 25+ managed services in a single app.
Docker
+1 on stripe. and... im' falling more in like with gcp.
Docker, Kubernetes -> makes developing and deploying so much easier
TablePlus for querying data when using postgreSQL/SQL/etc DBs.
Firebase and ngrok.
Vim for sure. And perhaps a close second is Cypress, which I just totally love.
Curlconverter
Not a single tool, but a class of tools: without exception tracking on my apps, I find myself constantly wondering "Is it broken and nobody told me?"
which tool do you use for tracking errors and expections?
I'm partial to Sentry, I believe because they have the most useful free plan and I keep making little side projects with no revenue. But most of them do the same thing these days.
Since I'm in the EU, I need to handle f-ing VAT MOSS, so Paddle is a must. Also VSCode. And som BaaS like Firebase or AWS amplify. I can't be bothered building infrastructure unless I really really have to.
I haven't tried AWS amplify yet. Do you think it's better than Firebase, why?
It's not "better", it's just different. Firebase is easier to get started with, and much less complicated. but Amplify hooks into the rest of AWS services, so you're production scale with pretty much anything from the start.
So depends on what you're building.
Hands down my iPhone so I can test out apps I'm working on.
yes.
