TOOLS

I totally did not mess up this title

A snapshot of Text Behind Image

Text Behind Image — Literally the name. Create stunning text-behind-image designs easily. This tool allows you to magically put text behind the subjects in your photos.

Roam — A note-taking tool for networked thought. As easy to use as a document and as powerful as a graph database. Organize your research for the long haul.

TinyWow — Filled with tools to make your life simple. This tool collection has tools that are a bit more complex than the previous sites I shared as many are enhanced by AI and there is a wider range of purposes. Whether you need to merge PDFs, complete that last paragraph, or remove an image background, these tools have you covered.

Etherpad — A highly customizable open source online editor providing collaborative editing in really real-time. Minimal version of Google Docs with hundreds of plugins for customizable additional functionality.

Calculator Soup — Calculate anything. Use these calculators for algebra or personal finances. Or something really specific like Fixed Declining Balance Depreciation… There are over 300 calculators, so take your pick.

Hall for Discord — Create a public, SEO searchable site for your Discord server. Sync and push conversations from a Discord server onto a branded community site. Build a knowledge base via Discord conversations and help customers self-serve answers.
