I loved https://yourstack.com because it allowed me to list (stack) the tools I'm using (to make stuff). Basically answering the question "which tools are you using/recommending?". Yourstack was also great becuause you could browse the stacks of other makers to (re)discover tools and compare approaches as well as sharing tips and tricks around those tools. 🏝 While yourstack is currently on (permanent) vacation (https://twitter.com/rrhoover/sta...) I was wondering if you only could take 5 tools to an island: which tools would you pick and why? Ideally name tools that you rely on regularly. Can be evergreen tools or something new. Bonus points if you made something using those tools. Feel free to share what you made for context : ) Will also share my top 5 tools after a few comments (wow, narrowing down is not easy)!

Slack - for team communication Figma - design matters, product building ClickUp - task management Spotify - to keep me in a working mood and keep the working environment cozy I guess these are the top apps. Btw, we’re launching in late May or the beginning of June. Check out our upcoming PH page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/eff... Our project is called: Effecto. It’s an app for detailed habits, health, symptoms, and meds tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.

Hi Thomas, it's unfortunate that Yourstack is taking a vacation, but it's great to see you reflecting on your top tools. One of my essential tools that I rely on regularly is the afpslai loan calculator, which helps me effectively manage my finances and plan for the future. Its intuitive interface and comprehensive features make it indispensable for me in making informed financial decisions. If you're interested, you can click here to check it out at the afpslailoancalc website. Looking forward to seeing your top 5 tools soon!
