Sharing tools
It seems like this week we are focussing on awesome websites I found! In the future I would like to have a separate page where all the amazing website I have discovered are summarized. But for now you have to read through this late-night-quick-thinking post to see what I’m fussing about.
Nuclino
Nuclino is an amazing website that allows multiple people to share thoughts. In essence it’s another Notion.so, but with some unique features like all good websites. I have been using it to jot down some ideas for this exact blog. It has a really neat feature of a graph view. It groups items together and it’s exactly what I looking for. I always have great ideas for the blog, but regularly forget them. Below is how my tiny graph is looking as of time writing this.
Leading conversation
I learned that I am really good at leading people into very specific conversations. We had a games night at the Fourie’s household and a very specific task was giving to each person attending. Without going into too much detail about this specific game1, the base of it is to lead conversations to extract specific info about a person. I ended up winning the game with 4 out of my 5 tasks being unnoticed. This taught me that I can lead conversations to obtain specific information. I believe this is a strength I’ve hidden from myself and would love to explore it. (Ps. This was all fun and games. I have no intention to extract information that would hurt or damage a person.)
Colors galore!
Realtime colors is an amazing website to design color schemes. I, personally, am not proficient in design2… So that makes the discovery of these websites a true blessing. The website allows me to visually pair colors and obtain a rough idea for the direction of my app or design.
How far we’ve come
It still baffles me that I can start up and EC2 instance within a few seconds. Well after the 4 hours spent to find the right settings for the instance, but you get the point. That was mind-blowing until I discovered Netlify Drop. It is a website where you can drag and drop a folder of static HTML, CSS and Javascript. The app will create an app from the source files you provided and allow other people to access it. I can’t explain it further, you just have to try it yourself!
