Things I Use

I’m surprised that pages like this aren’t common on personal websites. They’re mutually beneficial: readers can discover cool new products, and as a result reduce their cost for the site owner via referral links (disclosure). I wish I could have discovered all this stuff at once instead of slowly over the years, so I hope pages like this become more popular to improve product discovery in the future. 

This page lists all the digital products, apps and services I use, including chrome extensions, apps on my phone’s homescreen, and everything I pay a monthly subscription for. For a list of all the physical products I own check out my onebag page.
