Honored to be included 🕺
Earlier this year, @noamseg and I ran a survey of 6,500 tech professionals asking them what tools they use most in their work. We shared the results of this analysis in our annual "What's in your stack?" report (see link below). But then we got a question: "What promising tools appeared in the 'other' category?" In other words, what should be in your stack? Here's what the data showed us are the most interesting up-and-coming tools you should know about: 1. AI: @meetgranola @glean @chatprd 2. Work communication: @Larksuite @Gather_town 3. Presentations: @gammaapp @Pitch @Larksuite @napkin_ai 4. Data: @posthog 5. Project management: @shortcut 6. Design: @penpotapp 7. Customer support: @usepylon @churnzero @crisp_im 8. CRM: @attio 9. User research: @TallyForms 10. Email: @mimestream 11. Docs: @SLAB @Obsidian 12. Virtual whiteboards: @excalidraw Here's the full analysis: lennysnewsletter.com/p/whats…

Quill 2.0 is released! It's always fulfilling to update the users list and being able to add names like Figma, Miro, and Zoom. Also fun to write some code again - particularly "upgrading" the homepage's laptop using just CSS (compare with v1.quilljs.com) quilljs.com

Anton, Head of Engineering at @coastpayments tried Google Docs, an in-house tool combined with GitHub, and Confluence before trying (and sticking with) Slab. The best part? Their engineering team loves it ❤️ slab.com/customer-stories/co…

Repeat questions in Slack interrupting your day — this was what made @intruder_io start documenting their core info in Slab. And now, they are down from 2-3 questions/day to less than 1 per week! 💥👏

We asked @schmingle why he chose Slab for @goodwatercap. His answer 🤩 🤌 “Because Slab is fast, modern, and intuitive—and its alternatives clunky and slow—it’s fully purpose-built for knowledge and helps teams adopt it on their own.” slab.com/customer-stories/go…

ANNOUNCEMENT: It’s been 6 years but I’m excited to announce that I’m back in the content game! This time around, I’m 10x’ing the transparency. It’s like having a seat on the board of our company, Groove. I’m sharing not only our revenue metrics but this time around I’ll be revealing everything I shouldn’t share with the public – our actual funnel metrics, financials, growth experiments, live streams of quarterly growth calls, community hiring, P&L statements & more. We’re calling it The Imperfect Startup. Our mission is to become the most transparent company in the world so you can learn faster and grow faster. It's a little scary but here goes... The Only $4m ARR SaaS to Reveal it All groovehq.com/helpdesk-softwa… And if you dig it, please retweet and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
