I have family members who should just have a Chromebook as all they do is browse the internet - copy and paste is a stretch for them!

But like with everything, having a great choice of fantastic text editors is always good so everyone finds something they enjoy using.

You can either pay for a self-hosted license, or use their cloud.

It's incredibly frustrating where everyone "rolls their own solution" for commercial plugins

Cross Platform and sticking to being good at requests!

Postman really grinds on me as to how it's gone down a path of forcing "collaboration" when sometimes I just want to ping some requests and test things!

For whenever I use milk, I buy almond these days as it's marginally cheaper and I think it tastes nicer on a personal preference.

A friend of mine went vegan just for the sake of at least it eliminated any possibility of diary products in their food.

At least in the UK the enzyme pills can add up quite quickly in cost.

It does show that having a website which shows your business is a good thing.

Sadly while not free, having your own site could help plug the gap from the service (happy to discuss this on email/call)

Photopea is such a gem, and can't wait for their Vectorpea to launch as it's got me out of trouble so many times when I don't need an Adobe license for opening a file once a month or so (I just wish Photopea was OpenSource)

The digital department also has many common tools to help such as notifications, forms, payments as integratable APIs instead of each government unit needing to procure this (at great cost) themselves!
