New slashpage: /uses on #BurgeonLab ✍️

➡️ https://www.burgeonlab.com/uses/

Finally got round to listing all (maybe I'm forgetting some) my favourite tools, software, hardware, services on one page. Plan to expand the list further by adding my favourite analogue tools and adding some images in the future.

And a question... Should I add links to all the products/apps?

I joined the #uses club: https://asterisk.lol/uses/

(also redid all the menu pages to be blog-style with a background)

There is a "uses pages" movement in the smol web, where people describe the tools they use.

Usually there are a few lines about software and computer hardware in use.

But I went deeper and wrote uses page not only about HW/SW but about my locksmith tools, about tools for electronics DIY and so on. :dragnloaf:
