Just bought my first macbook what apps should I install as a web developer?
During my entire life (32 years) I used windows and linux machines. Now I bought my first mac book and I would like to know what tools is nice to have to make my work easy.
I am a developer ruby on rails and use vscode, also I use the terminal a lot and the default terminal is not that great. Also I miss notepad++
Any sugestions?
Thank You

My recommendations are going to be:
- Termius: A very nicely designed SSH & SFTP program
- Sip: A menubar app to grab colors from your screen in hexadecimal
- Amethyst: A Tiling Window Manager. You'll either love it or hate it, depending on how much you like keyboard shortcuts
- Codekit: An all-in-one preprocessor. Less practical for large projects, but it's no-nonsense setup is nice for small ones
- Arc Browser: A mac-exclusive Chromium based browser, built specifically to organize large amounts of tabs at once. It also provides excellent support for splitting the pane between multiple tabs and is very pretty
- I'll second the rec for iTerm 2. It's a very dependable terminal.
Along with iTerm, https://jqlang.github.io/jq/ is helpful when running random curl scripts. Aside from just formatting the output you can also filter.
