Free Image Slideshow GIF Generator

What's great

Because I can finally create GIF slideshows for my emails without weird watermarks and keeping the quality of my images.

What needs improvement

I can't think of anything.

vs Alternatives

Because it's free and I like the result.

Can I set custom dimensions and aspect ratios?

You can choose among preset aspect ratios.

Are there keyboard shortcuts for faster editing?

No, but I don't think they are needed.

Are there examples or templates for common use cases?

Not exactly templates but there are ratio settings for Instagram and emails.

GSC Countdown Timer for Shopify

What's great

It has a lot of design options for the timers and different timer settings, and it was really easy to add to my store. It also has live support, which is crazy for a free app.

What needs improvement

Nothing comes to mind

vs Alternatives

I chose it because of the good reviews on the Shopify app store and because it was free. I wasn't disappointed. I'd use it even if I had to pay for it now.

How customizable are the timer styles and fonts?

There are a lot of customization options and many fonts to choose from. You can also apply your theme's font.

Can timers be scheduled to start and stop automatically?

They can be set to stop automatically, but they need to be activated manually (except for daily timers that can be fully automated).

What support and documentation are available for setup?

There is live support and written documentation.

Getsitecontrol
Makes it easy to design professional-looking emails, even for someone with limited design skills like me. The interface is straightforward and simple but has everything we need. And the pay-as-you-go pricing works really well for us!
Clipchamp
I use Clipchamp for some light video editing for work. I find it really easy to use. Yes, it lacks some features (in my opinion) and there are a few small bugs, but hey, it's free.

What's great

What needs improvement

poor optimization (3)limited advanced editing tools (4)

Kobo
I've had a Kobo eReader for more than12 years (yes, the same one). I've taken it with me to every trip, vacation, work experience abroad. I've read thousands of hours at the beach. It got wet, it got a bit of sand inside probably, and yet it still works perfectly. I have eyesight issues and being able to make the font as big as I want makes a huge difference, I find it hard now to read on anything else. There is no piece of tech I'd recommend more.
