I like looking at the graphs, but I'm skeptical of how accurate a phone's microphone can be at detecting sleep stages. I've compared it to my Fitbit, and the results are often quite different. It's a fun tool for getting a general idea of your sleep patterns, but I wouldn't treat it as medical-grade data.

I just wanted to send a monthly newsletter and maybe a welcome email. ActiveCampaign felt like flying a spaceship to go to the grocery store. The interface is cluttered with CRM features and complex automation options I didn't need. I found myself spending hours trying to figure out simple tasks. If you aren't a power user, look elsewhere.

While Font Awesome is a classic, I'm finding myself using other libraries like Lucide or Tabler Icons more often. They are open-source, lighter, and have a more modern, thin-line aesthetic. Font Awesome's solid style feels a bit dated for some of my projects. It's still a solid choice, but no longer the only one.

Memberstack is incredible. It turned my static Webflow site into a fully functional SaaS product in a weekend. The 'attributes' system for hiding/showing content is genius and requires zero backend code. The team is also amazingly responsive in their community. It's the best no-code auth solution out there.

Clio has become the central hub for my practice. I can see matters, documents, time entries, and billing all in one place. The integrations with Outlook and QuickBooks work very smoothly, and the client portal has cut our email back-and-forth in half. Their new AI assistant that suggests tasks and drafts emails is surprisingly useful for routine follow-ups. Once you set up your workflows, it really does save hours every week.

We had constant issues with the messaging feature not syncing or notifications missing. For the price we pay, I expect a flawless platform. The creator search often returns inactive profiles. We found that manually sourcing creators was actually more effective than trusting their database. Locked into a long contract, sadly.

I love the core meditation content. However, the recent app redesign made it harder to find my favorite sessions. The 'Today' hub pushes a lot of content I don't care about, and finding a specific course from the library now takes more taps. I wish they'd simplify the navigation again.

The variety of mockups is unmatched—mugs, hats, hoodies, iPhones, billboards. It makes my portfolio look very professional. I wish I could preview the high-res version without the giant watermark sometimes to check small details, but the Unlimited subscription is worth it for the volume of assets you get.
