    Mine is Canva - it has helped me build whitepapers, logos, branding material, video related media and more. What's yours?

    Github! I use issues for tracking features, conversations for discussing them and projects for tracking work. I haven't tried their workflows yet but am planning to soon ๐Ÿ˜€

    There are so many tools, some of them are cool, some are ๐Ÿ’ฉ, 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...

    For me, it is a rather unconventional and boring one, Notepad! I dump everything there in one Notepad I have been using for ages! Last time, when I took the backup of that txt file, it ran into as many as 200 pages!

    Warning - analog answer. I'm a big notebook/ physical planner gal and I've been using the Passion Planner (https://passionplanner.com) for about 2 years. It has these AMAZING vision and goal mapping exercises that it prompts you to do throughout the year. I've found it helps keep me on track, motivated, and focused to actually accomplish the goals I set for myself. As a typical entrepreneur with shiny object syndrome, this little planner has been a life saver. It's helped me accomplish BIG goals across a ton of areas of my life... personal goals (move abroad - done) financial goals (bridge the 6-figure gap- done) and professional goals (work for myself full time - done)

    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
    Richard Fang
    @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

    Commons, to be able to sync with my team easily. It's a huge boost in productivity while working remotely and building a team culture and connectedness. And Mixpanel, for all the insights from data and its value to find product market fit.

    My top 3 in terms of UX ๐Ÿ˜ - 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
