What I use.

An indie-web convention. The hardware, software, and rack-mounted audio gear I actually reach for. Not sponsorship reads, not aspirational bookmarks. Updated when the rig changes.

Everything above earns its slot by being used this week, not last year. If it stops pulling weight it gets stripped out. No sentimental software, no dead cables.

Distrustful of heavy frameworks. Allergic to leaderboard-bait.
