Ask HN: What are your favorite tools for getting work done?
8 points by cjbarber on Aug 24, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 11 comments
I have this repo on Github, though it's more of an all inclusive list. https://github.com/cjbarber/ToolsOfTheTrade

What I'm really curious about is -- what tools do you love so much that you recommend them to others any chance you get?

For me:

- Quip. Start using it. It will eliminate any use for Google Docs and Evernote. It's a much faster version of Google Docs. Make sure you download the desktop and mobile apps though, otherwise it's not as good.

What tool is so good that you know others will love it once they start using it?




Thanks for pointing this out, useful resource!


Bose QC20i noise cancelling earbuds.

Easily my favorite purchase of 2015 so far. It's incredible how much noise they suck out of the room - I typically use Sennheisers for music, but Bose really nailed the noise cancelling technology.

If you're in a noisy open office and listen to music, give them a shot!


Awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

Why do you like them? Why are they awesome?


I realize I didn't make it clear in the OP -- specifically tools for working. That could still include things like Quora if you get good info from it.


I like Quip and I wish they had a Presentation tool also. Which tool do you use for Presentations?


meta-note: here are all the TotT lists on github -
