SECURITY 80/20
We’re entering the Age Of Working Everywhere Except The Office, and that means trusting our digital lives to a bunch of sketchy public WiFi networks. We’ve spent over a decade warily connecting to “Airporrte_TRUE_FREE_WIFI”, so discovering Pareto Security was a serious relief. Simple security checks to make sure you (or your team) aren’t the easiest targets in the herd. Bonus: the project is open-sourced, and the founding team is bootstrapped and building Pareto from Lanzarote in between surf sessions. [@Jason Z, does this count as a legit indie company recommendation?]
SHORTCUTS FOR ALL
Taylor Pearson with a helluva prompt for desk jockeys: “What’s the most useful keyboard shortcut you use that few other people know about?” Worth spending some time digging through the replies to get the gold. Our favourite, though, is the life advice sneaking its way into the most productive of threads: “Press power button to Off. Do not press again for days.”
(ACTUALLY COOL) WEBSITES IN 20 MIN
For years there was a promise of “nice websites that non-technical people can set up in 20mins”. That promise never, ever delivered (there were tears, usually mine). But it’s no exaggeration to say Carrd has reached that point – crisp templates, idiot-proof customisation, and clear instructions for publishing. If you have an idea you want to share or a portfolio you want to show off, you won’t find an easier tool than this.
