While working on different projects or simply internet scrolling, I have come across many different tools, websites or projects. The ones that really caught my attention have been saved in a "Cool projects" folder on my computer over time. I truly believe that sharing is caring so I thought they deserved a spot here. This will be a growing list :)
As a side note: None of them are sponsored. Some of them might be more known, bigger or impactful than others, but interesting anyways from my point of view. They are mainly tech tools but from very different fields.
