   Indispensable productivity tool

   I've been using aText for quite some time, and it's been amazing. If you are typing a lot, I'm sure you would be able to optimize your work tremendously. You can have abbreviations for your closing email phrases, URLs, and whatever can come to your mind.

   Also, I'd suggest to think of a trigger character and use it at the beginning of all abbreviations. That way you will avoid collisions. I'm using a comma. For example, these are some of my abbreviations:

   • ,br => "Best regards, Stan"
   • ,sh-u => "https://www.saashub.com" (SaaSHub URL)

   You get the idea. Once you get used to the app, it will save you a lot of time and typing.

• Add suites (playing cards)

  I think I have a solution for you. I use an app called aText (there are many similar, but this one's my favorite) on my Mac and my PC to make my own shortcuts for phrases and symbols, like this. Source: 11 months ago

• How to change the date format?

  Not quite the answer you're looking for, but I use aText, so I can make my own date format, and my own shortcut, and it can be universal — and I can make all kinds of shortcuts for all kinds of other things, like symbols, emojis, and phrases. This way, I never have to worry about apps that don't have a YYYY-MM-DD option. :). Source: 12 months ago

• Help deleting personal information from Prezi

  Hello fellow privacy enthusiasts, a very long time ago used Prezi for creating slides for a school presentations. I am able to find back to these as they contain my name. I would very much like to have these deleted, but I do not know the account that was used to create this as it was back in 2014. Source: about 1 year ago

• LPT: PowerPoint slides should be simple and concise. When giving a presentation, no one cares about the wall of elegant text you created.

  If the speaker is able to use notes that aren't the slide (they're not relying on the slides being shown to the audience to be their own speaker notes), then I use the theory that the slides should provide "context, not content", except for specific details that someone might want to take down in their notes or have access to later, such as a citation. Otherwise, it's all about context, which of course includes... Source: about 1 year ago

• LPT: Presentation slides are supposed to be simple and brief. Nobody is going to read your wall of fancy text when you give your presentation.

  Use the notes area of a slide to provide the details. If you share the deck or look back on it later the details of what was covered is there but it will help you keep the main presentation clean. There are also tools like highnote.io and prezi.com that can help you structure your presentations very well. Source: about 1 year ago

• Which website do you guys use for templates and icon repositories?

  I have heard that platforms like canva, highnote.io and prezi.com presentations are pretty good. They have really modern outlooks and they have a large library of free content. Their licensing terms are relatively generous as well. What do you use? Source: about 1 year ago

• What software do you use to make presentations?

  If you want a really flashy presentation, Prezi is another one that no one's mentioned yet. Source: about 1 year ago
