Good morning! This is Brenda, back with another edition of Insanely Cool Tools, covering a creative mix of tools, curated with founders, tech enthusiasts, and amusement in mind.

Did the style just change again? Yes, maybe… I’m trying to balance three things: high quality and fun content, space efficiency for ease of skimming and clicking through tools, and beauteousness. ✨

I don’t want to give you trust issues though so this is the last major change, I swear.

TOOLS

Get your creative juices flowing

These tools are creative, you are creative, your audience is creative. These creative tools enable you and your audience to be even more creative!

Here are my latest insanely cool finds…

Brush Ninja — A collection of small, forever free tools for digital creativity. There’s a tool to make art with code, an emoji art maker, and a comics creator just to name a few. The site even hosts a few small games and a ton of resources including videos with tips and full art lessons, all free!

Engage — Not your average form builder. Create online forms where answers can be sticky notes (think Figma comments), drawings on an open canvas, or interactive action dots. This is a really unique way to gather insights, leads, and engage your audience.

Really Good Emails — Like Pinterest for emails. Browse a huge collection of really well-designed emails and get templates for your own. You can view by email categories and save emails for reference.

0to255 — The most insane color picker I have ever seen. It is so incredibly thoughtful I could not possibly explain it in the 1-3 sentences you require me to. Please scroll through the website instead as the landing page explains it all in detail.

CSS.GUI — This is actually named very well. It literally is a GUI for CSS. Quickly build components with custom styling panels without any code. Code generation is built in so you can export your objects as CSS.

Spline — Spline is a free, browser-based tool for creating 3D objects in real-time. It's designed to be intuitive and accessible, with an interface similar to Sketch. There are too many features to list, including realtime collaboration, 3D modeling, animation, and physics simulation.

AI Image Extender — Click and drag to expand beyond the edges of your image, enlarge the background, adjust the aspect ratio, and more. You can actually do this with Adobe products too, but if you really only need this specific feature and not the 18482 others, this tool is way cheaper.
