Thank you for the list! I agree, Canva and Notion have been super useful - I remember using Canva a lot in high school and undergrad when creating posters, presentations, infographics etc. It's super an easy to use tool and it's only improved with more features since then.

Notion is also 100% my second 🧠, before using it I'm not sure how I remained productive honestly. I have different pages for my workout routine, budget planner, study resources for data structures and algorithms, course notes, etc. I highly recommend others to give it a try too :)

Thanks for sharing the list, Nomadev!

I can't live without Canva. Super easy to use, whether you're trying to put together a blog cover image, edit a video, so on & so forth. So far, i haven't come across a situation where i couldn't do something that i wanted to, using Canva. UX is 9.5/10 in my opinion (there's always room for improvement).

Haven't used the magic edit & eraser features yet. But i'm glad to see that it's been useful to you - hopefully i'll also get some value out of it.

Cheers Anna, you should use the magic edit it's lit.
It's always cool finding new tools to make the process easier.

Great list. Although I would never use AI to write email replies haha.

I'm trying to learn obsidian, definitely recommend giving a try.

Thank you for the list. Dectopus is a fantastic discovery! Another thing I believe developers could benefit from to boost their productivity are various toolsets, such as webacus.dev. You can use AI to create your own little tools :-)

Thanks for this excellent list, Nomadev. Cavna is superb. It works for anything and produces clean and very clear graphic presentations.

How come GitHub copilot is not on the list? It surely is a powerful tool to improve coding.

I have heard about notion for a while. But didn't swap to it because I was using obsidian for a long time and didn't want to change. What's the main catch of notion?

You should mate!

Notion stands out for its all-in-one workspace, collaboration tools, visual organization, and powerful databases. If you want more integration and teamwork options than Obsidian, it might be worth trying!

I cant't live without Arc Browser, it's a game-changer in today’s fast-paced world, where we all use AI to write pompous bloat text like we're drunken marketing interns. What's wrong with all you guy, seriously?
