I'm looking for some recommendations for a SQL client application on Mac - what is everyone using? I would mostly be using it for PostgreSQL. Something that feels like SQL Server Management Studio on Windows would be great!

No hate to jQuery, it definitely has it's uses and will probably be around until the heat death of the universe, but it's really cool shifting to this component-based paradigm with React ๐Ÿงฉ #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Any of my friends using WebStorm over VS Code? I've been trying it out for a few weeks now and I'm a big fan of how most of the functionality I want is already baked in without the need for extensions. Anyone have any good tips on how to get the most out of it? Please share ๐Ÿ‘‡

If anyone is curious how I solved this, the best I've found is installing Karabiner on my Mac. Exactly the solution I was hoping for! It remaps my keys/shortcuts to be more PC-like when I'm using my external keyboard, and keeps everything the same when using the build-in laptop
