This is pretty open ended, and I'm not sure "digital tool" is really what I should call it honestly. But basically, I'm putting together a big list of programs, applications, websites and the like that I find useful or helpful in some way, that I think could be beneficial to others.

So far my list consists of things like localsend, alternativeto.net, Microsoft powertoys, does the dog die, etc. Pretty varied list, some very niche some very general purpose, but just those kind of things if that makes sense?

I'm looking for some more to add, so what do you have to contribute?

Ah that reminds me of the boxes.py calculator for lasercut box designs and the Gridfinity system for modular storage.

Everyone who has looked up useful stuff to print knows about Gridfinity, but boxes.py looks so cool! Reminds me a lot of an earlier era of computer software, when it seemed like half of all programs were made to help you do things off-screen, a lot more printing and scanning. Maybe that’s just me, I don’t know.
