    @jhh2450 It's a 15" Macbook Pro laptop. Just swipe up with 4 fingers to view all the open windows at once.

    @calmyourtities Jetbrains Gogland is neat for Go as well.

    I'm a Jetbrains whore, I use it for PHP, MySQL (Datagrip), Go, Python, Rust, etc.

    Slack, Urxvt and Chrome are the only other windows.

    Within Chrome, I usually have Asana, Bugsnag, Github and several pages of the site I'm working on open.

    Read all comments in hope to find an answer for this but nope :(

    1. Which REST client? Started to hate postman, and Paw is only for macOS. Need something like Paw because it is a one time payment can't afford monthly payments.
    2. Which documentation tool? I am planning on using Gitbooks but open to suggestions :)

    @tsouhaieb often webpack or webpack-based. I have some projects where I run a database as well, and sometimes I'll open two projects at the same time to compare or copy code from one to another or whatever.
