IT step by step

2022-09-06 17:00:01 Tomodoro - for concentration

The web version of the popular Pomodoro mobile app. If anyone doesn't know, the "tomato method" is a technique for increasing work efficiency through deep concentration at fixed intervals.

The online version is good for a couple of things: first, you don't have to download and install anything (yes, obviously), and second, there is a minimized window option: just click on the icon in the upper right corner - and the timer will be displayed separately - no need to switch to a tab or look at the smartphone screen.

And other little things: you can sort tasks, see statistics, choose themes, even turn on white noise in the background (but here to your liking, of course). Открыть/Комментировать

2022-09-05 17:00:00 Wordbook - automatic dictionary for YouTube

The ability to watch content in different languages without switching to another tab with Google Translator. Just paste the link to the video, click on any word from the text, which is broadcast in subtitle mode - and you get the definition of the term.

It works fine without registration. However, if you still have a personal account, then there will be stored history of queries and studied words - convenient if you are working with complex lectures and improve your knowledge of the language. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-09-04 17:00:00 Meme Yourself - make memes with face substitutions

A meme generator that allows you to use any photo to upgrade popular memes. Very easy to use: just upload an image, and the neuronics will do it all by itself.

An additional option is to overlay text (like in regular meme editors). As for the work of the neural network, you get different results: from frankly awkward gags to very good examples. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-09-03 17:00:00 Instagram Downloader - Download something from Instagram

Yes, it's just a service for downloading content from Instagram. But it often happens that when you need it, you don't have a simple and understandable tool at hand, right?

It's easy to use on any device, smartphone, tablet or computer. It downloads all formats - photos, storis, rils, IGTV. Nothing fancy: just paste in a link to what you want to download - and download. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-09-02 17:00:01 StemRoller - highlight vocals or instrumental from any song

2022-09-01 17:00:01 Midjourney - a neural network generates cool art

Worthy competitor to the famous neural network Dall-E, which processes any request and produces visualization. This one does the same, but the result, according to many users, is much more elegant: although Midjourney may be worse at capturing some details of the request, but the artwork turns out gorgeous. So much so that you can take it and put it as a screensaver on your desktop.

Launched a beta version, you can enter and use it via discord - the only hitch may occur except at this stage. However, to admire the work of the neural network can be easier: just google or search Twitter hashtag - it is already filled with cool art. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-08-31 17:00:01 GeoGuess - guess a place on the map

Not to be confused with GeoGuessr! Yes, the creators obviously stole the idea, but while the original became heavyweight and gradually lost its lameness, here came up with an interesting development - you can play in teams and guess the riddles of other users.

The rules, if no one has played the usual GeoGuessr, are simple: there are 5 rounds to get the maximum score. Each round you guess the starting position where the game threw you. All you can use is your powers of observation and knowledge of geography. In GeoGuess, you can create rooms with friends and play in a group. All in all, it's great for fun. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-08-30 17:00:00 Notable people - a world map with celebrity names

An online globe, where instead of the names of cities are the names of famous people who were born there. There is a separate option that allows you to display those associated with a particular sphere - culture, science, politics or sports. The corresponding names appear on the map when you switch it.

The more famous the person in the world - the bigger the name is displayed. In general, it is interesting to study the map - there are names that you do not expect to see in their places. If you want, however, you can also dig up inconsistencies (especially if there is a well-known confusion with the real place of birth). Открыть/Комментировать

2022-08-29 17:00:01 How to find all user comments on YouTube

You can learn more about a person without even talking to them. Rejoice, introverts.

There's a service called YCF - Comment Finder. You can use it to search for comments by keyword or by user name.

A couple of seconds and you see all the comments of the right person. It can be useful for business, and it can be fun. Открыть/Комментировать
