Has sirgifsalot been killed off? I was just about to include it in a blog post about GIFs and the site seems to be down :(

In theory, I love Polymail. All my inboxes in one place, shared lists, tracking. All of that is great. Unfortunately, Polymail is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes, it even feels as if the app is getting worse. And their reaction to feedback is nonexistent, whether on Twitter, via email or here. It has gotten really frustrating to use it, but I haven’t yet found another option — one that isn’t...

It’s no secret I’ve got a bit of a love affair going on with the lovely people at Teleport ;) But even if that wasn’t the case, I’d find Zen a pretty cool addition to the Teleport portfolio (Teleportfolio?). It comes at just the right time too; We’re planning our first international move (still within the EU, unless brexit…) for Q4/2016. I think Zen will help us loads with that. I especially...

This may have just changed my life. I’ll have to try it for a couple of days, but it might just have solved my “too many email addresses, too many tabs” problem.

At first, I really loved Kiwi for Gmail. But by now the issues are too many for my taste, and they’re not getting solved. - The app still randomly crashes when I click on links in emails (ever since El Cap). - Google Docs links still open within a tiny window in the app instead of offering me the option to open them directly in Chrome. Instead I have to copy/paste. Quite annoying if you use...

OMG I need this! Was about to publish my blog post “Freelancer Tools of the Trade” when my wife showed me she’d gotten a link to this in the latest PH newsletter – now defo including this in my blog post even if I haven‘t had time to test it yet.

This looks like one of the very few things that would make me want to get an iPhone.

U.S. only so far? That sucks but it also means I have more time to convince my wife that we need this.

“I’m just going to have a look at this real quick.” 5 Minutes later: “Oh, this is quite fascinating.” Half an hour later: Still madly manipulating preferences, trying to get a specific city to match, surprised at some of the results and yelling at my wife, “Hey, this says we should move to Vancouver!” This. Is. Awesome.

<3 this new Buffer feature (though it probably won’t replace my old-school folder on the Mac desktop where I keep my most beloved and most reusable gifs).

I need this! Apparently, I also need an iPhone :( I understand that, obviously, since it's a personal project you wouldn't build it for Android as well, but it's a damn shame.

This is an amazing idea. Absolutely loving what you’re doing. I keep thinking we should all make more of an effort to include deaf and hard of hearing people into mainstream life – and not by forcing them to “simply read lips”. But, realistically speaking, not everyone will be open to learning sign language unless they’re very close to someone whose first language it is. I love how your app...

Absolutely fantastic idea! Goes straight onto my free stock photo list and will definitely be used for future bloggery.

I was messing around with a variety of these services for years. Coolors beat them all, simply because it lets me fix certain colours and then get the rest done. Would appreciate a possibility to say: this shade but lighter for specific colours, but that’s nitpicking. This makes something that’s absolutely maddening (for me) a whole lot easier. Settling on a look for my websites and blogs is...

This looks so awesome it kind of makes me want to work in a bar.

That weekly page alone had me in grateful sobs! Exactly what is important for a freelancer, since it’s so easy to put your own business side of things on the backburner or forget about it or do it in the middle of the night with red-rimmed eyes and a manic facial expression.

Streak was the last straw that made me switch back to the original Gmail from Inbox and I haven’t regretted it. I love that it’s free for the needs that I actually have. A lot of similar services will charge freelancers inordinate amounts for things they don’t even need, so this is perfect for me. Sadly, tracking emails means I now know when someone is just not answering because they’re being...

I still use Affinity Photo – aka hipster’s photoshop ;) –, because I enjoy having more control over contrast etc., but when I’m in a hurry Pablo is an absolute life saver!
