I am a sucker of niche tools which are not as popular their other alternatives, but they get the work done just fine, or in some cases even better.

I use this tool called YourChamp, it's like a digital business card showing all of your socials followers.

@kulsoom_awan interesting! saw the demo now, seems like a great tool for content creators and influencers.
@kulsoom_awan Cool! This reminds me of a startup someone I know created called Ovou which is a tappable business card that links people to a "Linktree" type page for easy networking
Surfkey by @johancutych to always find relevant convos on Reddit. Either for growth or even mention monitoring/research.
@johancutych @a_m4 great tool for content creators and product folks! bookmarking it for sure. Thanks for the share Aleks!
I use Limitless by Adstra . I feel like it isn't so popular yet. It's a place that finds information for you, solutions, tips, strategies - everything is boiled down to an essence. I use it often when I have a problem, always works
GummySearch for Reddit communities and popular discussions :)
@sandradjajic true that! I explored it for a few days just to get a hang of it, but didn't use it after since I had no direct use case of it.
Yes in my view I visited the one website wavel.ai for creating voiceover, dubbing, and subtitling services! this is good for video creators!
https://githunt.dev to find out the email of any developer on github
Good to know
This thread is Gold. Thanks for bringing this up!

I use agileStories to generate epics and automate user stories and acceptance criteria creation, makes my job as a product owner easier ^^
@alfonso_matasc Can you share the link? I'd be interested in giving it a spin.
@mfurquim @sindia @swapdp_01 hey its actually https://agilestories.io , but that one looks great too. I will have a look
@alfonso_matasc That's awesome. I'm a BA, and just played about for a few seconds with a few sentences about my current client, and not only has it generated some great epics/stories/acceptance criteria for the business, it's even picked up terms that are very specific to the sector, but which I didn't mention. Very impressive.
zcal.co is amazing, free and I like it much better than Calendly!
Templater for Adobe After Effects from Dataclay. It turns After Effects into a server for developers to create customized video on the fly. End users from organizations such as the NFL, Amazon, Apple, and Netflix use it to a great extent to automate the creation of video content and still images for broadcast and social media and other apps. It's a powerful tool running under-the-hood for many apps offering customized, highly targeted, video content. Templater can read data from Google Sheets, local files, and API's including Dataclay's QUE platform.

Not to toot my own horn, but InPrivy (https://inprivy.io) is still pretty much under-the-radar but really useful to lots of people already.
I used to have a 1/4 inch diameter heated curling brush but I lost it and cannot find a replacement anywhere.
@charlene_mertz Ulta and Sephora have a bunch of options. Also, Drybar and the like will have options. Good luck!
