You can't have too many plants.

Lars Richter • Mar 23 '20

That's a nice setup. +1 for plants.

is it a safari or something? xdd

Jim Medlock • Apr 9 '20

With my cat and dog it's like my own zoo! :)

Great idea sitting on the ball, I have a standing desk and change frequently from sitting on the chair to sitting on a gymnastic ball to standing (on a balance board).

Robin Kretzschmar • Mar 23 '20

Thanks guys 😊 I put a led strip at the bottom of my desk so I can switch colors according to the mood 😏

This is the magic behind it: cable clips

Love your setup! I have to get a better monitor!

Lars Richter • Mar 23 '20

Nice screen. Big enough for a "single-screen setup".
The lighting is pretty cool as well.

Waylon Walker • Mar 22 '20

Sick lighting

not enough plants xdd

Jase • Mar 22 '20

I have been enjoying working from home more then the office.

Jim Medlock • Mar 23 '20

What a great setup! Does the vertical monitor arrangement cause any neck or back discomfort?

Jase • Mar 23 '20

Thank you and no I have not found it to so far. It took some time though to get it all the right height and angling.

Mpho Mphego • Mar 23 '20

I love that monitor setup.

Aleodor • Mar 23 '20

Haaa, love this setup! Looks super comfortable ⭐

Sarthak Sharma • Mar 23 '20

😮 wow

Lars Richter • Mar 23 '20

The monitor setup is sweet.

Robin Kretzschmar • Mar 23 '20 • Edited

I like the way you arranged the two monitors :)

Madza • Apr 9 '20

why wont you put one vertical?

Jase • Apr 9 '20

I thought about it and my setup at the office I work at has one of my monitors vertical. However I found that I did not use that one as much as the main screen. Aside from the fact the stand does not allow me to, I am finding I am leveraging my screen real estate in this configuration the most.

Madza • Apr 9 '20

fair enough.

Vicente G. Reyes • Mar 23 '20

Here's mine

Robin Kretzschmar • Mar 23 '20

Great placement of the stickers 😎

Ben Sinclair • Mar 23 '20

v. subtle.

Vicente G. Reyes • Mar 23 '20

I really suck at placing stickers hahaha

Sarthak Sharma • Mar 23 '20

That's the only thing standing out dude !! It's looks great.

Sarthak Sharma • Mar 23 '20

Woahhhhhh !!

Any ideas on a outdoor power supply with a solar panel? My battery doesn't last very long...

Nir Lanka ニル • Mar 24 '20

This is beyond beautiful!! :o

Sarthak Sharma • Mar 23 '20

THE VIEW 🤯

Ben Duncan • Mar 22 '20

Next to the window, always with my pen and paper, some water nearby, usually some coffee or tea, and resting on my DIY laptop stand.

I really want to add some cable organization and better headphones.

Nans Dumortier • Mar 25 '20

You don't use a mouse ? :o

Ben Duncan • Mar 25 '20

Good spotting! I don't use a mouse much. Most of my work is UI development, so I use one to test mouse interactions. Otherwise I mostly use keyboard commands thanks to vscode+vim, vimium, spectacle, alfred, dash docs, and a shortcut to the OSX menu search.

I do play some video games though, so for that I take it off the stand ;)

Nans Dumortier • Mar 25 '20

This is really neat !
I tried vscode+vim but I felt like I couldn't "express myself" easily with it. I guess I should train more !

Ben Duncan • Mar 25 '20

It took me a while, but now I miss it - I even tried to use vim commands inside this text input!

I started out with VIM Adventures and just using HJKL to move around, but I would put a sticky note on my monitor each week with new useful commands to learn. I'm still learning!
