If you get a chance, check out my little Video feedback app. It’s great for developers from creating reusable videos for feedback, code demos, post demos, to anything really, for both work and home use :) . Any critical feedback on the app would be welcomed.

I assume you're talking about VideoFeedbackr.com.

I tried it and it's simple + efficient. A little more options could be worth it imo. And I didn't notice any watermark even though I'm not on the premium plan. Just thought to let you know.

Thanks for sharing the dev tools!

One more tool to improve your daily life as a developer: Freeter. It allows to organize web apps, files & folders, urls, etc by projects and workflows and stay focused on what matters at any given moment. Free & open-source.

Here is a post on how I boosted my productivity with it: dev.to/alexk/how-i-boosted-my-prod...

Music can actually improve your coding yk, which is why I included musicforprogramming here.

I'm confident you will find something new here. Recommend checking out CanIUse, Miro AI, Responsively, Seed and Copycat.

Let me know if you loved it or not. I'm open to all kinds of feedback.

One more tool to check out: webacus.dev

I was genuinely surprised by how much Webacus boosted my productivity. By consolidating so many different operations into one tool, it saves time and effort I would normally spend switching between apps or looking up how to use different tools. It’s a game changer for streamlining daily dev tasks!
