Linear might be the best-made software I've seen in a decade.
Raycast is phenomenal; a perfect drop-in replacement for like 8 different tools I used to use.
Airtable is really amazing, and their API is sososo close to making it a solid database replacement for super small personal projects.
Superhuman could do a lot more to make email managable, but going back to the Gmail interface makes it clear how much of a 10x improvement it is.
- farski 4y agoI've got a lot of customizations built in Alfred, but Raycast intrigues me. Have you used Alfred to the point where you can compare the two?

- gkoberger 4y agoYup, I was a die-hard Alfred user with tons of custom automations. Haven't looked back for even a second. I was shocked; I've never had a piece of software replace something I depended on so easily.
- lbhdc 4y agoI have seen airtable available at work, but have never used it. What do you use it for, and what do you mean its close to being a solid database replacement?
- gkoberger 4y agoThis definitely isn't the main usecase; it's mostly used as a spreadsheet application. But, I use it for a few random tools. I have an app I made that shows schedules. Rather than using a DB and building out an admin interface myself and giving people access to it, it just pulls from the Airtable DB. I also often use it to export data to, so having signups or things like that go into Airtable rather than a DB. I could use a DB for all of these, but Airtable's UI is super nice and makes it really pleasant to edit (vs a crappy form I set up)
