🆒 3 Insanely Useful Tools

A curation of awesome websites, tools, & apps that I came across this week…

1. Flask

Flask

Flask is a video collaboration platform built for creatives. It’s like Notion + Loom, but for videos. Built by a solo-founder (Enrico) with no investors and no team. Very impressive!

------

2. Jinna

Jinna

Jinna is an AI powered invoicing platform that creates, sends, and chases invoices for you. Just talk, type, or upload a file — she understands the context and creates a beautiful invoice in seconds.

------

3. Affinity

Affinity

Affinity is an insanely useful alternative to Photoshop that’s actually free. You can get all the design and photo editing tools you need in one app (available on both macOS or Windows).

😻 Posts We Loved This Week

Here’s what stood out…

1. Evgeniy made $3.5k in one day with Natural Write

Evgeniy runs Natural Write, a cool app that converts your AI-generated content into fully humanized and “undetectable” writing to pass AI detection tools. His app made $3.5k in just one day.

2. From $300 to $15k/month

Denis runs Yadaphone, an indie alternative to Skype. Last year, he was depressed and only had $300 in his bank account. Now Yadaphone makes over $15k/month and has 5,000 users. Click to read more.

3. Enrico won Product of the Month on Product Hunt

Enrico launched Flask (shared above) on Product Hunt and won Product of the Month. He’s a solo founder with no investors and no team. His secret? Build cool shit, and just have fun doing it.

4. David took 46 months to hit $1M ARR

David shares a quick reality check of how long it takes to grow a profitable SaaS. His growth plateaued and was stuck at $2k MRR for 3 years before hyper-growth kicked in.

Sometimes it can feel quite disheartening when your project isn’t growing and you keep seeing posts from founders on how they grew from $0 to $1M ARR in 30 days, and it’s nice to remember that those are outliers and definitely not the norm.

5. Brijesh hit $4.6k MRR with Vibe3D

Brijesh claims to have hit $4.6k MRR with Vibe3D, an app that lets you create photorealistic renders in seconds with AI. He’s got over 10k site visits and 141 new paid users.
