    Tab overload

    Good morning, afternoon, or evening! In today's edition of the Leaderboard, we're diving into a simple way for makers to build and host their sites, a new browser that declutters those tabs, and a Handoff alternative that actually works.

    Cut through the noise

    Static Website Hosting: Host your static website in a few clicks.

    Static App is the product I didn’t know I needed but now wish I’d had five years ago. Whenever I needed a landing page, I’d usually turn to Webflow—powerful but often too costly and more than necessary, especially with template fees adding up. Static App cuts through the extras, delivering everything I need for a landing page at a fraction of the cost. It includes form submissions, SSL certificates, a free domain, and supports JavaScript for added customization if I bring in a developer. It’s a slick, lightweight alternative to Framer or Webflow, and I’m genuinely excited to start using it!

    Declaring tab bankruptcy

    Horse: A more organized browser

    Horse takes a fresh approach to the endless tabs problem, and I’m interested to see if it can really draw people away from Chrome or Safari. Moving browsers is tough—there has to be enough pain relief, and the switch needs to be seamless. I’m constantly hitting CTRL+T to open new tabs without losing my place, so the idea of threads could be a solid fix for that. I’ll give it a try, though I wonder if I’ll just end up with unmanageable threads instead of bookmarks. It would be smart if Horse let users set reminders to clean up threads, and I’d love to see a mobile version, too—my phone has 200+ tabs open, and synced browsing is a must for me.

    A better workflow

    Quill: A cross-platform clipboard manager

    I’m constantly copying bits of text—from quick ideas to useful snippets—and usually end up losing track or having to re-copy when I need them later. Quill fixes that by keeping a persistent clipboard, saving everything I copy so I can go back to it whenever. It syncs effortlessly across my devices, which is perfect for grabbing something on my Mac (since Handoff never works) and pulling it up on my phone. The locked clips feature keeps my essentials safe, and it even has a dark mode for those late-night sessions. It’s a simple way to keep my ideas and info organized, and honestly, it just makes my workflow a lot easier.
