Share the best products you discovered in 2021

I got a few things I enjoyed discovering:

• Budibase: an open source low-code platform, and a faster way to build business apps that empower teams and improve productivity
• Responsively: Front-end tool that let's you preview all target screens in a single window side-by-side
• Poet: Basically like carbon.now.sh, but instead of sharing code, you can share tweets as beautiful images
• Visual Type Scale: Great tool for all devs that are obsessed with getting the typography right
• Patterns.dev: free (website based) book on design patterns and component patterns for building powerful web apps with vanilla JavaScript and React
• Exercism: Need to learn any new programming language for your (next) project? Go no further!
• Adele: Overview of (almost) all the great design systems out there
• Web Whiteboard: Web whiteboard for instant collaboration let's you sketch, brainstorm and share your ideas. No sign-up required
• Kochava Media Index: Haven't used it yet but it markets itself as the largest advertising database on earth. Maybe someone heard of it and can give feedback

For me Discord became a big part of my life (I had used it lightly in previous years).

Also, I've been loving Typefully.app, also made by fellow indie hackers.

https://plasmic.app
https://supabase.io
https://weweb.io

Typefully.app has been a game-changer. Also discovering (and using the "focus" feature of) blocksite.co has improved the way I manage my work.

Hemingway, Scapple, RoamResearch, F5Bot, PhantomBuster are a few of the tools I started using this year every week.

• Notion: Store almost any content; perfect for my organizational system
• Obsidian: Building a second brain for myself, one note at a time
• Ahrefs and Keywords explorer: Finally learning more about SEO
• Figma: About time I learned how to design, and Figma is really awesome (auto layout, components, reusable styles, vector drawing, etc. Tons of awesome features)

Laravel Forge and Usefathom. Started programming with Laravel again, Forge has been a god send. I was also so happy to find a nice alternative to Google Analytics with Usefathom.
