I've for years written in mostly Markdown, in plain-text apps like iA Writer and Ulysses, and shared team notes in Notion. But every once in a while, I'll still need to make a print invoice or mak...

Files are increasingly abstracted away, replaced by notes and designs and projects in modern software. You don't share a Figma design in Dropbox, or attach a Google Doc to a message; a link and a l...

Is there any Web-based SaaS product you use for your day job or personal work, at least 4 hours per day? Is it forced (you're mandated to) or value-based (it's crucial for the problems that you're...

There's Figma as an Illustrator or Sketch competitor ... and that's one of the few creative programs built as a collaborative web app. While CRMs, project management, email tools, database builders...

Intro My path through development lately has increasingly circled around the limitations of the cloud and the expectations that we have asked users to give up. Principally, the dependence on inte...

For decades, email, contacts, and calendars have been shipped together as a bundle in everything from Microsoft Outlook to today's Google Workspaces. Email always got the focus; calendar and contac...

It's been a year since I am using Superhuman mail, and the command+k feature has been a time saver no doubt. Adding to this list is Vimcal, they have similar command+k shortcuts and feature and hon...

Those times you overwrote a file and hit save, only to remember right after you saved that you didn't duplicate the original document first. The times you pushed to production without checking the ...

I wonder if it'd be convenient to share your work and discuss with team directly from apps you are currently opening. Like if you are a designer, post design link and discuss with other teams (reg...

Pipedrive perhaps most famously made a kanban-style workflow the default way to move leads through a sales process, and similar kanban workflows are now common in many CRM apps (along with project ...

After launching Slack Connect earlier this year to invite other teams into a shared Slack channel, Slack has now announced that in 2021, Slack Connect will expand to DMs. With Slack Connect DMs, yo...

As a start-up we want to keep out tech stack simple and avoid introducing too many tools today. But we also want to make sure we choose apps that can scale with us. We are a product-let SaaS app f...

The Google team decided it's time for a new rebranding of their office suite, so the paid, professional set of apps including Google Docs, Google Sheets, Gmail, and more is now called Google Worksp...

In Roam Research, everything's an outline. Press enter to make a new line, and it's a new bullet. Notion and Coda hide it a bit—new lines still look like new lines—but they act like outlines, where...

With the new Tools -> Citations option in Google Docs (rolling out first to G Suite education users, then more broadly to everyone), you can save citations while writing your document, then inse...

Several months back, Amazon AWS launched Amazon Honeyccode as a low-code app builder, something slightly akin to Airtable. Then Microsoft launched Microsoft Lists as a way to "track information an...

Superhuman recently got calendar integration, and has a Rapportive-style sidebar with contact info, but otherwise is mostly focused just on the core email experience. The Command Palette in Superh...

It's a strange time to be a file. They've never gone away—every app you touch is built on hundreds of them. But SaaS has abstracted files away until they're merely a relic in many business apps. W...

It's been decades since spreadsheets became the original killer app on personal computers, one of the main reasons people bought early PCs and Apple IIs. And they're still some of the most versatil...

We build and market websites and we are trying to shift away from an all-you-can-eat type of service, and move towards a quote based system. Does anyone have any good tools for building, generatin...

Roam Research calls itself "a note-taking tool for networked thought." It's built on a graph database, which means it's flat: documents don't live inside of other documents, instead everything coex...

I've been looking to try something new for knowledge/documentation storage for a little while now. Confluence has always been there, but I find it to be relativly limited for the cost and additiona...
