Canva made it super delightful for us to create every single one of our Instagram ads.

I generally use AWS for all of my infrastructure needs but I hate messing with CloudFormation. CDK was nice but was also a bit cumbersome to get right. SST is CDK but on steroids. They make it super easy to create the primitives you need to GSD, without worrying that much about the specifics. And if you ever need to get in the weeds, you can create your own CDK constructs to do so.

CapCut is one of the best mobile video editors I've used. It makes it super easy to record organic content and add great effects, captions and green screens, all painlessly.

Daily has been instrumental for Fireside - we use it as our main vendor for supporting recording and video calls. We were initially using Whereby, but Daily's AI features, integration with Deepgram, flexibility and ease of use make it a crucial part of our stack.
