Productivity is super broad, but I've gotta go with @n8n Having the power to connect all of my tools/AI AND self host for free?! It almost feels illegal haha.
What’s the best productivity tool that’s NOT Notion, Obsidian, or Roam?

This is exactly the question we asked and decided that we would launch AI assistant, LifeAlign AI, as a feature to our core app, rather than acting like it was a meaningful differentiator. Our product TimeAlign is unique because it is the first and only app to close the feedback loop on time management by addressing both scheduled and tracked time--intention and action--future and past. It uses...

My team recently switched from Jira to @GitHub Projects simply to centralize product tasks in the same place as our repo. Our biggest bottle neck has always been software development, so as the PM, I'm perfectly happy to make things as easy as possible for our devs.However, as the Product Designer, I've been keen on switching to @Linear for a while now. I believe working with well-designed...

I'm ready to switch off Chrome too!Lots of folks in the web3 space use Brave Browser ( @Brave Private Browser ), which is an absolute winner in theory... who doesn't want a browser with native wallets, micropayments, and ad blockers?! But I've heard it's not as good in practice.

Siri and Apple Finder.I've upgraded to using ChatGPT on mobile and Raycaster for Mac now but I still encounter situations where I must use Siri on mobile and Finder on my Mac.
What is a tool you use everyday but hate? For me, Excel and Adobe PDF. Replacement recs?

I wrote an article about this very question called "The Founder's Plunge".

The common advice is to wait until you’ve de-risked the decision by keeping your day job until the side-gig has sufficient revenue and growth. This way you never lose your income, and the...

This is a great question and something I've thought about a lot since I'm launching an app in the productivity realm.
I really just try to find the handful of high-leverage tools that have the greatest ROI.
One example is my sleep tracker SleepCycle. Just measuring my sleep has changed my behavior tremendously.
Another example is the app I'm building called TimeAlign! It measures and...

It is just a fancy number... with that said, you linked me to a useful reddit discussion when I asked a question a few days ago, so can confirm you're bringing value!

Time blocking.
Not just for your work tasks, but also for your:
- Exercise
- Quality time with loved ones
- Rest/breaks
- Adventures
Time blocking personal time has the following benefits:
1. You are more likely to actually do something if you make a commitment on your calendar to do it at a specific time for a specific duration.
2. Work is less likely to interfere with personal time if your...

I'm currently shopping for the best video subtitles/captioning tool, so I'd love to try this! Is there a discount for PH launch?
Also, FYI, your grammar on the second slide is bad. It should read: "Words that pop!"
Not a great look for a subtitle product if the grammar on the subtitles is off. ;)

It is possible to launch an MVP too soon!
I take YC advice seriously, but their advice to launch as soon as possible is a bit misleading. We launched TimeAlign "Alpha" to a handful of eager users, but the product was underdeveloped and we ended up losing trust with these early users because they were expecting more value.
The lessons learned:
- Don't call your product an MVP until you have...

I still find a lot of the GPT wrappers a bit lacking and find myself coming back to ChatGPT for most things. I definitely use Github Copilot a lot, but I haven't found myself using other niche "AI Assistants" in my daily life.
I love your product idea though, so I'll def check it out! My problem with sugar is less about knowing exactly how much is in everything I eat and finding alternatives...

Can I change the weights of the variables? For example, remote work is MUCH more important than vacation policy for me. So fully remote would result in a much better work-life balance than an on-site job with lots of vacation time.
