What was the last product that knocked your socks off?

[roenb]

Hmmm,

I find it tough to categorize any recent web product or service as having actually blown my mind. I like many products like Quora but honestly there have been tons of question answer websites. Slack? yes it is a good product but again there have been tons of chat/groups sites. Airbnb sure I like it but blow my mind? I don't know maybe I am a hater :-). If I think about it I would say the product that really opened my eyes wide was the app Clear. Sure there are hundreds if not thousands of list apps for everything from 'don't forget the milk you dummy' to 'meetings lists' to 'managing all your dates (you player)'. But clear brought in such a display, such a user experience, such an fresh yet intuitive way of performing old actions that I can honestly say, as a developer, I was jealous and yes it did blow my mind.

Every day again fascinated how simple it is to discover great inspiration on tech and similar topics!

Jim Messina (that guy who also works for Uber @andrewchen) is also pretty active there.

I can give you invites - just send me your twitter handle or ping me on Twitter directly: @momoschu

The new Quartz app. I'm not really a news hound and yet I find myself using this every day because it's just so much fun.

Feeling the same way about Quartz. It's a great app and makes it so much fun and easy to get through the news.

Google Photos. The 'Assistant' feature was a told 'Aha' moment for me.

I can think of a number, but in order of recency:
Teamweek - someone seemed to have built a straightforward, simple, laymanized Gantt chart tool
Hootsuite - because it finally helped me see my Twitter lists easily
Typeform - It's just sexy. I can't believe they made questionnaires sexy.
Google Primer - The content planning and concept behind it is incredible.
There are many others that you could say also knocked my socks off, but these are my "favorites".

Notion.so - we've been looking for a collaborative wiki tool at our company for years and finally found it in Notion. Incredible text editor, simple onboard, and definitely benefits the prosumer.

Canva
i. Super easy to get started
ii. Reduced my dependency on a professional UX designer - A big problem solved for me

Invision

It's a tool for design collaboration and iteration, getting feedback and handing off designs to development teams.

They get the customers, they get the problems and as "marketing" - they are always deploying tools that improves the design process and workflow.

A lot of people have already mentioned products I use everyday and almost certainly I stopped checking my email once I started using Slack! Screenhero now bought by Slack has saved me every time I need to collaborate with someone on their machines.

So I'll mention some non obvious ones, Leaf has been a great RSS reader I use since I almost certainly like following individual bloggers /blogs over more notable media channels.

I simply can't put enough praise for HRV4 Training -- I'm an average user, not an athlete but it has really helped me prevent myself from overtraining -- not only does the 2 person developer team post research articles on their latest findings, the duo has been remarkable at taking customer feedback. What's even more amazing is how their gamification is setup -- you simply can't reap the benefits of unlocking features if you're don't measure your heart rate every morning.

I've also use a few free versions but 1password couldn't get more easier for a developer who needs to log in using few logins a few too many times a day.

As a news junkie who commutes on the NYC subway, I probably find myself using Pocket more than any other app. Every morning I skim my favorite sites and save a bunch of articles to Pocket so I can read them on the train without data service. The UI is elegantly simple and in two years of using it I've never once experienced a bug. Also Dashlane... if it ever fails my world will collapse.

Shutl...worked like a dream and great value.

Big fan of Pocket myself too - I just wish it helped me organize the saved articles and do some intelligent consumption path with a topic based article selection versus just LIFO. And it does not do a good job with auto archival at end of article or something, but little nitpics
