Ask HN: What tiny tool do you use every day but never talk about?

3•puildupO•1mo ago

I am curious what small tools people quietly depend on. Not big platforms. Not the obvious stuff.

What is the one tiny tool you use daily that saves you time, but nobody around you knows it exists? What does it do, and why did it stick?

my tool clipnotebook.com, It lets me save links as visual cards and organize them into playlists, I can share a playlist or the whole notebook with one link.,The best part is there is no login, It generates a private key URL that gives access to your notebook

The domain redirects to /blog instead of the frontpage, which has the "Open my notebook" button and so on.

how ??

Never mind. Used the link from below, but "/blog" runs to the next line for me. Missed that part.

Must have been grayed for some other reason.
