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

byโ€ข
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 Peerlist (https://peerlist.io/), it's like a better LinkedIn alternative where each aspect of professional networking is very carefully designed. For example, they offer to verify work experience using your work email-id and add a nice verified badge on your profile. The same applies to other aspects like proof of work, a news feed, chat, etc. Also, did I mention the verification is free?

@itsaadityaa @designerdada I have come across peerlist in few communities I am part of, but didn't sign up yet for some reason. Doing it now. Thanks for bringing this up Aaditya and thanks for building this Akash!

Camtasia by @techsmith for screencasts. I like to have an offline tool for that. Lucidspark for whiteboarding. Nebo for cross platform notes (iOS, Windows, Android). Zenkit for project management and To-dos. Wide Angle Analytics (my tool) for web analytics without cookie banner.

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.

@mrmooky i can totally see this transcending domains. is this HIPPA compliant too? couldn't see it on the website.

@mrmooky this seems like a great product; and a genius use of freemium here (sans needing an account)!

@mrmooky @jefffis Agreed! ๐Ÿ‘

CleanShot X for taking/managing screen shots. Does one thing very well...game changer. Makes me realize how much of my workflow is screenshots.
