My favourite tech hacks ... a thread

I started a thread on Bluesky of my favourite tech hacks earlier in the year and just added a couple more.


Will keep a parallel list running here.


Invidious (YouTube alternative front end - Not working so well Dec 2024)

Pixabay (photos with appropriate Copyright)

Etherpad (collaborate on a document with colleagues very easily)

Cal (scheduling a call by sharing your availability)

Organic Maps (offline maps based on OpenStreetMap)

Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (volunteer in remote areas by mapping)

Rallly (schedule a meeting with a group)

Unsplash (another photo site with appropriate Copyright)

Research Rabbit (explore research concepts based on connections between published works, great for literature reviews)

yt1d.com (Grab a video for guaranteed playback when off line or during a presentation)
