One thing I discovered while building tinypad is that people seem to have completely different mental models for navigating the web.

When some rely almost entirely on bookmarks, others prefer to search Google every time and follow the autocomplete suggestion. Many people keep dozens (or hundreds) of tabs open, and some just use browser history.

Some time ago I decided to finally answer a question that had been bothering me for years:

Why do modern browsers always overlook bookmark management?

I always had a feeling that I think about web bookmarks differently from how most people do, and definitely differently from how browser makers seem to think about them.

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
