Want to learn options? This is the thread I wish I had when I started learning myself. Even if you don't plan to trade options, I believe that these basics are a great lesson to understand how others make money in volatile markets.


#PRODUCT


uBlacklist
While this product probably needs a rebrand, is it an awesome tool. It simply lets your block specific sites from appearing in search results, including images from pesky sites, such as Pinterest.


#IDEA

Calendalytics
Analytics for your calendar

Where did my time go? I constantly ask myself that question. Calendalytics deconstructs your calendar and then creates beautiful visualizations of how you spent your time and provides actionable insights based on a custom profile about how you work.
