Issue #337 (Top Tools of 2019 (Best of the Rest))01/02/20
Seeing as this is still a bit of a down week for most of you, I thought I'd round up another list of "top tools" of 2019, but this time it's the next 30 most-clicked tools of the year. I always feels bad that so many tools barely miss the top 30, so I think it's fair to have a best of the rest issue.
You can skip to the list below but as I did last week, here are a few ways you can support this newsletter in the new year:
The last three course links, as you probably figured, will give me a cut of the price if you purchase, so I appreciate it if you use those links!
Now on to the Best-of-the-Rest Tools of 2019!
