LinkedIn Preview

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.

LinkedIn Preview is a free, open-source platform that allows you to format, style, and preview your LinkedIn posts before publishing, so they look polished on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.

Easily add bold, italics, strikethrough, and lists. See exactly how your post will appear across different devices, and optimize readability with structured formatting to drive better reach.

We especially appreciate the truncation preview, so you can avoid your hook getting cut off by LinkedIn’s “see more” text.

The Ultimate Icon Library

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

If you can’t find what you need in Canva’s Elements, try The Noun Project’s massive collection of icons (and photos).

It’s built by a global community of designers from 120+ countries, with icons related to everything from AI to UI to pop culture and beyond.

They also have a very cool, inclusive mission to champion equality and diversity through visual art. Refreshing right about now.

TabType

TabType was made for folks who are sick of flipping between Google Slides and browser tabs during presentations.

Simply open a clean TabType and use Notion-like commands (/Headling 1) to organize your slide without all the fuss.

Then, seamlessly switch to webpage discussions with one click. No more back-and-forth with Slides. It’s free!

Luukilu

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

If you’ve managed Meta ads, you know the drill—spreadsheets, pivot tables, and hours digging through Ads Manager to find creative fatigue and spot opportunities.

By the time you have answers, you’ve likely already lost money.

Luukilu is an AI-powered media buying assistant that sends you daily reports on ad fatigue straight to your Slack or email, so you can pause underperforming ads before they eat into your budget. Or boost the winners before it’s too late.

Gemini in Google Sheets

To start using Gemini in Google Sheets, just click the spark button in Sheets.

Ask questions about your data and get instant insights and visualizations without the need for formulas or manual analysis.

For example, you can ask Gemini:

“What are my top three performing channels by conversion rate?”
“How do email open rates compare to last quarter?”
“Predict my ad spend ROI for next month.”

Gemini also generates static charts and visualizations (so they won’t auto-update), but they’re easy to insert and share.

Saywise

Saywise is a new platform for interactive, career-focused AMAs and Q&As, which are more important than ever while many of us continue to work from home.

Users can network with industry experts, ask questions, react to comments, and engage with others in real-time.

Its built-in CRM tools keep communities engaged through automated updates and event summaries. Plus, AI-driven post-event processing converts AMA discussions into easily digestible snippets.

So, if you’re trying build community, host virtual events, or grow your network, this might be the right place.

Photoshop for iPhone

If you’re an ✨out-in-the-field📱 marketer, you’ll wanna check out the new Photoshop app for iPhone.

It’s a big step up from Photoshop Express, with a lot of the powerful tools we’re used to on the desktop version now available on mobile.

You can do more than just basic edits—think layers, masks, and even AI-powered tools like Generative Fill for advanced image manipulation.

The app also integrates with Creative Cloud, so, if you’re already using Lightroom or Fresco, it’s super easy to move projects between devices.

The free version is pretty robust, too. An Android version is coming later this year.

PrettyShot

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

Anyone can take a boring old screenshot.

PrettyShot is a handy tool for making them look a little more polished and professional for social, showcases, and presentations.

It lets you easily enhance screenshots with backgrounds, shadows, reflections, etc. — all from your browser.

A big plus: drop your screenshots in mockups for phones, tablets, and desktops. There are also one-click presets to quickly apply your favorite styles.
