What's your favourite tool you've used as a founder?
Mine is Canva - it has helped me build whitepapers, logos, branding material, video related media and more. What's yours?

I think in termS of UX experience Balsamiq is a great tool accessible to anyone with no experience . User friendly you will be able to visualise your idea and have a better clarity and visibility when speaking to your devs.
We used Trello a lot for planning work and keeping a tab on all the things we had to do. It use to have a more freemium feel to it before the Atlassian acquisition.
I still use Trello a lot for my personal projects and even for creative work. Trello is JIRA if it were actually designed for human beings.
@johnofardeal Hi! I invite you to try my last productivity tool, is called, wisepath.io, feedback is very welcome!
@johnofardeal Agree, Trello is much more suitable for small teams like ours for example. Jira is a bit too sophisticated for the most
@johnofardeal Yeah we actually use Trello for our team of 4. I use it to manage my own life as well hahah
Sorry it's not sexy, but: Google Sheets. Or Excel. With the right understanding of what is possible, you can build little custom modules/functions/scripts that integrate seamlessly with your workflows, thereby rendering 90% of modern SaaS platforms obsolete. Now, they don't scale as robust database solutions, but they are the perfect way to prototype your architecture and capabilities, getting to an MVP within weeks or even days. The transition to a serious DB backend can be undertaken later, and with a fully functioning prototype you can use to create all your dev stories.
@doakio Haha not sexy but one of the best tools. I do a tonne on google sheets
Hi, Richard! Mine is Notion (https://www.producthunt.com/post...). Love their design, can't stop using it.
@nataliekarakina Notion is awesome - I should probably leverage it a lot more!
@nataliekarakina true dat. Notion is amazing both as a founder, to organize work, and to organize our personal lives.
There are so many tools, some of them are cool, some are 💩, but some are just AWESOME!
We at lemlist tested hundreds of tools and picked the best, like Ahrefs, Notion, Phantombuster and others
We collected all those tools privately, but recently we decided to share all our favourite tools by each category (seo, design, sales ...) with the world
and here is how lemstash born
we launched our curation directory of handpicked 250+ tools and guides for startup founders on PH today https://www.producthunt.com/post...
@a_m4 Oh damn Veed looks like something I should have used to edit my Youtube channel instead of spending months learning Adobe premiere haha
Crisp for demos and interactions with the customers as they land on the website
@barry_ruggles I have used this to do my instant demos and my team and I loved it as well. They really have an amazing product.
Notion and Figma 😍
It's like chalk and cheese compared to what I've used before - Confluence/Evernote, Illustrator, etc
@artkhromov I've been using Figma recently and I wish I discovered earlier. I thought it was mainly used for UX/UI people but I've been using it for marketing as well!
My top 3 in terms of UX 😍
- Notion (Notion 2.0) for Wiki + Task Management
- Figma (Figma 2.0) for UI mockups, marketing creatives, and even presentations
- Miro (RealtimeBoard 2.0 (Miro since 2019)) for remote workshops, flow diagrams and high level concept drawings
Trello - it was my holy tool to manage everything with Kaban and Agile.
@gcucci def agree with this pairing. plus they have plug ins to other platforms to help with productivity
Adobe Photoshop one of the best software ever I used for professional worked
raycast is something I use on a daily basis. I've created my own scripts and shortcuts to make my actions more productives: https://www.producthunt.com/post.... Shout out to @thomaspaulmann
