Startup Crushes

Why I have a crush on Hackpad 

I use hackpad EVERYDAY at work. To be honest, when my startup’s PM first introduced hackpad into our workflow, I was a bit upset. What’s wrong with Google Docs? What is this light green hackpad thingy. Why can’t I change colors? I don’t understand how to use this...

...BUT after using it for a few weeks, I fell in love with hackpad! It’s SO convenient. Now, I use it for everything: meeting notes, discussion, sprint planning, to do lists, contact lists, journal, etc...(I have like TONS of secret pads now teehee).

Hackpad has made me a lot more productive and has helped the startup I work at become more collaborative.

Why I have a crush on kicksend

I’ve never actually used kicksend’s photo printing service. I just like their landing page a lot. It’s very simple and lets the photography speak for itself. However, what I like most is their blog.

Instead of saying “Kicksend Blog” they use “Snap!” to tie in their service. I think it’s adorable! Really love the content and layout of their blog. I literally have like 10 tabs open with their blog articles!
