   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.

   Great optimization plugin

   So far it has done a great job optimizing all my images and generating WEBP for each image. I used to do all this manually using Photoshop but after using ShortPixel I've saved days and hours of work!

   👍 Pros:    Ease of use|Inexpensive|Excellent support|Great value for the money

   Great image optimization plugin

   ShortPixel is my go-to image optimization service that stands out for its efficiency in reducing image sizes without compromising quality. The user-friendly interface of the WordPress plugin makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to boost their website performance.

   🏁 Competitors: Imagify, WP Smush, OptiMole, Kraken.io, TinyPNG, EWWW Image Optimizer

   👍 Pros:    Cost-efficient|Easy to use|Great customer support

   👎 Cons:    Free plan could include more credits

• 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: 10 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: 11 months ago

  Before uploading any images, convert them to .webp or any of the newer formats. Don't forget to use a service like tinyjpg.com to compress your images. Use the ShortPixel WP plugin if your site is on WordPress. Source: over 2 years ago
