    #007 - Favorite Tools & Services

    Episode Notes
    I've been out of town and unable to work on my own indie projects for the last few weeks, so I thought this would be a good time to do an episode about some of my favorite tools & services that I use with my own projects. None of these have paid me or are associated with me, I just like them!

    List:
    Cloud 9 IDE
    CodeAnywhere
    Eclipse Che
    Gogs Git Server
    Gitea Git Server
    Gitlab
    Twilio
    Stripe
    Digital Ocean
    Buddy Works

Fantastic show

I'm a huge fan of this podcast. Carter is does a great job of explaining what he's working on and why. It's also interesting to hear his progress from episode to episode.

Great Podcast!!!

This is a great podcast! Not flashy, but very down to earth and approachable. I am just getting started learning Elixir and this podcast feels like talking to a coworker about Elixir.
