Tools we use — Part I (Web apps)

Tools we use — Part I (Web apps)

In this post I’d like to share some of the web apps we use at astech.

Git Repos

Beanstalkapp — love the deploy feature — no more FTP just push to beanstalk and see it transferred to the server in an instant — that’s the reason they get my money instead of github.

Bitbucket — free unlimited repos for teams of 5.

Optimize images

Smush.it — For PNGs and JPEGmini for JPEGs

SpriteCow — to create CSS sprite sheets

Pingdom to test page load times.

Time Tracking

clockingit.com — an excellent free app to track projects — but it seems flaky these days.

toggl.com — also free for a team of 5

Google apps for chat/docs/mail

Business Development

Rapportive — shows profiles of clients as well as social updates

Linkedin

Blogging

Posterous
