Joseph Pack · Accepted Answer

For me, it has to be NomadList by Pieter Levels. It's extremely helpful for deciding where to travel to next. It's getting better all the time, he's always adding new features. You can really tell that it's been created by a digital nomad. That's why I think he'll stand the test of time against a range of new competitors coming into the market.

nuno duarte · Answer

It's a great product. Simple to use and to start with, clean interface, global monitoring, SSL notifications and much more. All of that for a great price!

Seth Cheeks · Answer

Because it has great oversight into daily workings and the UI is clean/minimal.

Shameless plug--I'm a solo founder based in Atlanta. We're a marketplace of design services by proven designers!

Michael Angelo · Answer

Michael Angelo is online community that lets people ask "topic specific questions" straight from the authority of that topic.

Often we're stuck in situations where  we don't have the necessary domain knowledge about a topic/time just enough to research about the topic/client deadline.

In those dire situations it is better to ask from someone who might have done it before/might be an authority on that topic.

Also we being an authority on a topic takes years of hard work ,practice & time & that certainly cannot be given for free.

Dropbox was originally made by single founder Drew Houston. You can also search for his solo application to Y Combinator. Spoiler alert- he was accepted. Not many multi-billion dollar companies are born that way, so my props go out to Drew.

Love Proper Channel and the founder William McClusky. Flow charts with embeddable content. Document a process, share it out. Users may edit. 
There are some other products in this space. Few as clean and nice as Proper Channel. If you use flow charts, or need to document a process Proper Channel should be on your radar.

My favourite has to be an All-in-One CRM named Agile CRM which mainly serves growing businesses! It has been made by a guy name Manohar Chapalamadugu. And guess what - it is free, simple and yet next-generation. IT has been rated the best by:

- G2Crowd
- Capterra
- TrustRadius

It currently serves over 14,000 businesses worldwide!

In short, Agile CRM is the only comprehensive, end-to-end CRM that delivers sales, marketing and support automation
to help small and medium businesses manage all parts of the customer journey, from a single platform, in order to drive
sustainable, scalable growth.

By providing an end-to-end solution that can manage every aspect of your business, Agile CRM sets itself apart from the competition by letting you drastically reduce the number of applications you need to manage different parts of your business. The platform offers an open API that enables users to integrate with numerous third-party applications, as well as develop their own custom widgets to integrate additional applications. Plus, the SaaS system lives in the cloud and is fully mobile-ready, making it a true next-generation solution. The solution is highly scalable with a very attractive price point. This makes Agile CRM the perfect solution for small businesses looking to grow sustainably.

At first, Wunderlist was created by a Berlin-based startup called 6Wunderkinder. I remember following on their blog the development of the product and being super-exceited about it.

In 2015, Microsoft bough the company.

One of the things that caught my atention the most, was how they cared about the product, mainly the user interface. The company site was super beautiful. I remember wanting to work for them, but at the time, I was beggining to study computer science. I thought: "One day, I want to work for a company like 6Wunderkinder" hehe

As a solo entrepreneur, I just launched cyboolo in BETA version (In french first, english version soon).

Hope I won't be solo to like it and recommend it ;p

cyboolo is a marketplace to help people to launch their eLearning business. As a solopreneur, I made it with freelances and solopreneur in mind. Simple tool, affordable and with cool features integrated so you can focus on your main activity: creativity and business, no technical constraints.

Pros: Create your own site in seconds. Publish your content from your browser (inline editor without forms hassle) and see your courses live online. Record or upload videos directly from your browser (Powered by ziggeo). Safe and nice checkout for your future customers. You just have to set your price and everything about payments is managed by cyboolo (powered by mangopay).

Video wall and chat integrated to help you grow your community.

Cons: Right now it is only for french and EU citizens for RGPD/GPDR and payment/tax rules compliance.

Thanks for your upvotes and comments. They are always very precious for a solo entrepreneur.
