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. Templater QUE

Not to toot my own horn, but InPrivy () is still pretty much under-the-radar but really useful to lots of people already.
i can totally see this transcending domains. is this HIPPA compliant too? couldn't see it on the website.
this seems like a great product; and a genius use of freemium here (sans needing an account)!
Agreed! 👍
I use thunderclient vscode extension alot over the postman desktop app
my non-technical background doesn't completely appreciate the significance of this.😜 thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

Common Lisp. It is not only amazing calculator, but also a great programming language making me a 10x faster!
CleanShot X for taking/managing screen shots. Does one thing very well...game changer. Makes me realize how much of my workflow is screenshots.
