Fonts

Open Dyslexia : This Font can make it easier for Dyslexic users to read large amounts of text. I use it while coding as I find it easier on my eyes even though I’m not Dyslexic.

If you are using this font in terminal use the mono version and change the character spacing to 0.9 as the spacing is weirdly wide for Open Dyslexia 2 and 3

If you are using this font in your coding environment e.g. Coda 2, Notepad ++, Kate I recommend Open Dyslexia 3 over 2 as they’ve improved the space between two single quotes in version 3.

Coding Environments

On windows machines I use notepad++ however this does not run on Mac. On the Mac at home I use Coda 2 however this is not free. The best free one I know is Kate, which I use at work.

For my colour theme in all coding environments and in Terminal I use Dracula which I then modify to use the Open Dyslexia 3 font.

I use Koala for compiling SCSS
