Tools I actually use

These are the tools I pay for and reach for every week. No sponsorships. Some links are referrals. I mark what you get and what I get.

If something stops earning its spot, I remove it.

  • Railway

    I use Railway to ship small apps and prototypes fast. The dashboard is easy to live in. Deploys are quick. The defaults let me focus on the code.

    Why it works for me

    • Spin up a service in minutes
    • Logs and env management are straightforward
    • Scales enough for side projects and client demos

    When it might not fit

    • You need heavy compliance or deep VPC work from day one

    Referral

    Join with my link and you get usage credits. I get credits too. It helps offset early deploys.

  • Wealthsimple

    I use Wealthsimple for set-and-forget investing. The app is clear. Automatic rebalancing keeps things on track. It handles registered and non-registered accounts in one place.

    Why it works for me

    • Clean interface I can stick with
    • Automatic rebalancing
    • Easy to track contributions

    When it might not fit

    • You want active trading tools or advanced order types

    Referral

    Fund a new account and you usually get a cash bonus. I receive a smaller credit.
