What are some of the best under-the-radar tools that you know of or use?

by
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.

Kirill So
Hypersonic (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) extension for Raycast; it connects to Notion DBs for Todos and has a lightning-fast search bar for actions and sorting.
Swapnil D Puranik
@kirso thanks for sharing, Kirill!
Gastón Fournier
For feature toggles: https://www.getunleash.io I might be biased but we use it internally (dogfooding) and just love it
Matt Kerr
@gaston_fournier LaunchDarkly is slightly better now (2023) but Unleash is open source. Trade offs. Wouldn't think about the cost, you're going to either pay in $ directly or $ indirectly.
Gastón Fournier
@mattdkerr certainly LaunchDarkly has a very good product, but what I really like about Unleash is its focus on privacy and how the system is purpose-built for it. And because it's open source, anyone can validate that it holds to that promise.
Ivar Østhus
@gaston_fournier @mattdkerr Unleash also offers a paid offering. Why do you find LD slightly better?
Alfonso J. Matas
I use agileStories to generate epics and automate user stories and acceptance criteria creation, makes my job as a product owner easier ^^
Swapnil D Puranik
@alfonso_matasc Can you share the link? I'd be interested in giving it a spin.
Mateus Furquim
@alfonso_matasc I couldn't find it. I'd love if you could share the link :)

Alfonso J. Matas
@mfurquim @sindia @swapdp_01 hey its actually https://agilestories.io , but that one looks great too. I will have a look
Marcin Demkowicz
Part self-promotion/part own-dog food.... Ever since I installed a whiteboard next to my desk, I use ShareTheBoard several times a day. Comes in handy both in meetings and during fitful bouts of individual brainstorming. https://sharetheboard.com
Swapnil D Puranik
@martin_demkowicz WHAAT!! Marcin, this is amazing! My white board is literally gathering dust since going remote. Congratulations for building STB and all the best!
Marcin Demkowicz
@swapdp_01 Dust-filled whiteboard?! Unacceptable! Bring that awesome tool back into your flow! :) Thank you for the kind words. if you can, please take the app out for a spin and let me know your thoughts!
Swapnil D Puranik
@martin_demkowicz You bet! 👍
Marcin Demkowicz
@swapdp_01 Awesome. Thanks in advance!
Steve Hopkins
@martin_demkowicz this is amazing; going to drive it for a week in my virtual leadership coaching academies and see how I do
Aleks Miric
Surfkey by @johancutych to always find relevant convos on Reddit. Either for growth or even mention monitoring/research.
Swapnil D Puranik
@johancutych @a_m4 great tool for content creators and product folks! bookmarking it for sure. Thanks for the share Aleks!
Michael Müller
I am working on a niche tool for developers: https://semanticdiff.com It is a programming-language aware diff for Visual Studio Code. The extension helps software developers understand code changes faster by hiding style-only changes, detecting moved code blocks as well as refactorings.
Martin Seeler
@mmueller just installed it, and I love it! This makes diffs so clean, thank you!
Swapnil D Puranik
@mmueller neat! All the best for scaling it Michael! I do not see the pricing on the website. You plan to publish once out of beta?
Michael Müller
@swapdp_01 While the extension is in beta, it is free to use. After the release we will switch to a freemium model. The basic functionality will always be free, but certain features and/or programming languages may only be available in a paid version.
Christopher Lee
https://vento.so/ - Screen recording but you can pause, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over your mistakes/your dog barking. Disclosure I'm the maker :) but it was #3 on Hacker News!
Swapnil D Puranik
@christopher_lee4 this is super-cool Christopher! thanks for sharing and congratulations on the launch!
Anthony Nevo
@christopher_lee4 so cool! Congrats
Renaud Lataguerra
doppio.sh, an api for html to pdf or screenshots, it just works and its cheap with cool features like async render with webhooks
Swapnil D Puranik
@renaudlat Love it! thanks for sharing, Renaud!
Kaitlin Marks
Height for project management! It's a super clean interface that's intuitive to use, but with a ton of powerful + customizable features, too. https://height.app/?home
Greg Stenson
@kaitlin_marks I second this – Height is absolutely fantastic.
Swapnil D Puranik
@kaitlin_marks @gregstenson thanks for sharing, Kaitlin! As it happens that I am scouting for a PM tool which doubles up for customer portal. Giving it a try!
Kaitlin Marks
@swapdp_01 amazing! if you have any questions, i'm happy to set you up on a call with height's customer experience manager (she's a wizard at going over all the things you can do with Height)
Lara Peterson
Love this question and thread - anyone using anything particularly good at mining and management of LinkedIn for b2b growth ?
Arti Villa
@lara_peterson_plllar here are a few tools, I haven't started sales but this is what I plan to try out: https://kennected.org/ (recommended by a Sales rep at a b2b dev tools company I respect) https://www.voilanorbert.com/ (recommended by founder at Tiny.com) to hit up users on linkedIn you know you need to outreach. https://www.salesbricks.com/ (once you need to do customizations) https://www.clay.run/ (this one looks like a gold mine) https://www.folk.app or close.io (if you need to make calls) for CRM In addition, if you need to store all these links from this thread, hand down https://mymind.com/.
knandraina
@lara_peterson_plllar I recommend clay.run too. There is a good review here: https://www.growthtool.co/clays-...
