Insanely Cool Tools - Substack Edition #20
Best tools in your pocket! 📱
Hello! 👋
3 short messages this Sunday, then let’s check the tools!
Just a quick reminder - likes and comments really help with motivation and getting the word out. It shows Substack that people are enjoying it, which helps more people discover it on the platform. Takes just a few seconds, and I’d really appreciate it.
That’s all I ask! 🫡
If you have favorite tools, apps, or companies you’d love to see a deal on, just reply to this email and let me know.
I’ll reach out to them directly and try to get something special for all of us! 🤝
With so many new tools launching, it’s getting harder to spot the good ones.
Everything is AI-powered, vibe coded, and beautifully designed.
So if something I share still has bugs or doesn’t work quite right - sorry about that.
But that’s just the time we’re living in! 🫠
