Trying New Tools

Posted

It’s the end of the year and I’m trying out a few new tools. The first is Raycast, which is a launcher similar to Alfred. So far I really like it. Like…replace Alfred like it. 

Next is Obsidian. I feel like I attempt to use this every 6 months, but I have a pretty legit usecase for it this time. I don’t think it will replace Craft, but it will be a great place to contain this new project I’m working on. 

In the world of physical products, I picked up a Stream Deck + and I love the dials. I feel like this will free up a lot of space for more shortcuts and actual productivity buttons. I’ll probably do a video for How I Built It Pro members.

I also bought a Kindle Scribe, which should arrive tonight. I’ve been going back and forth on getting a Remarkable, but have never pulled the trigger.

The fact that this allows me to annotate/make handwritten notes on Kindle books, and PDFs, is very appealing. I’ll be sure to keep you all posted.

    Recently LearnDash announced some very exciting news in that they’ve converted/expanded Groups to allow for Memberships (and subscriptions). There’s a strong possibility I will migrate from my currently setup to this, as long as my testing shows it does what I need it to do (spoiler alert: nothing too crazy) and a migration path is…
