Build With Hussain
I use the Apple MacBook Pro 16” (32GB RAM, M1 Pro) as my daily driver. All the streaming, editing, and coding is done on this beast.
Keyboard: Logitech K380 Wireless
Mouse: Logitech Pebble Wireless Mouse
Raycast: Replaced my MacOS spotlight with this super powerful command palette. This is also where the confetti (🎉) comes from! I have assigned a keyboard shortcut to the confetti animation.
VS Code: Code Editor of Choice. Always. The magical autocomplete you see on the streams is GitHub Copilot.
Cleanshot X: For everything related to screenshots! This app is worth every penny. You can add cool backgrounds, annotate, and more. Here is screenshot I posted on SM which was taken using Cleanshot X:
Open Broadcast Studio (OBS): for live streaming. It is nicely integrated with YouTube so you could just connect you account and start streaming an scheduled stream. You can even schedule a stream and access the live chat from right inside OBS!
I have setup scenes for a lot of scenarios like screen share with guest, talking Hussain etc. and I just have to click to switch to a scenes (basically a setup of audio and video sources):
OBS interface is fairly simple and does not need much learning.
vdo.ninja: Used to stream guest and guest screen, makes it a breeze!
Arc Browser: Everything through the command bar! My most used keyboard shortcut is CMD + T to open the command bar!
DaVinci Resolve (FREE) for all the motion graphics (intro video) and video editing needs.
Screen Studio: For those sleek demo videos with automatic zoom/pan and mouse following!
Figma: For all the design needs including thumbnails, product design and more.
Blue Yeti Microphone directly plugged into my MacBook with Tonor Microphone Arm Stand
Wacom Intuos CTL-6100/K0-CX for that doodling and diagraming!
This Green Screen, so you don’t see what’s happening on my background 😉
GiftMax® Photography LED Video Soft Light Panel for lighting.
