    Count your days
    This newsletter was brought to you by

    Welcome back to the Leaderboard! Have you ever wondered just how long you have left until you check out from life? Well, there's an app for that. It tells you how long you may have left and helps you spend that time doing things that matter. Let's dive in.

    Count your days (literally)

    Life, Just One: Displays the approximate number of days, months and years remaining until you die.

    Life, Just One feels like the less macabre version of The Death Clock, a website that uses your age, sex, lifestyle habits, BMI and country of residence to predict your death date. Life forgoes The Death Clock’s 2000s-era grim reaper aesthetic in favor of pastel colors, clean lines, and feel-good exhortations to use the time you have left wisely. Whether you’ll enjoy the app or not is ultimately a question of psychological makeup, but I've found little to fault with the UI here.

    Supercharge your Notion

    Softr for Notion: Turn Notion databases into apps without code.

    Softr for Notion lets you turn your Notion databases into apps—whether it's client portals, directories, or inventory trackers—all without touching code. You control everything, from design to granular permissions, and even integrate Stripe for payments if you're selling digital content. It’s what Notion could offer natively, but hasn’t (yet). The only thing? If Notion rolls out their own version (like how they did with Notion Sites), Softr for Notion might lose its edge. Still, for now, it's free, easy, and makes Notion a whole lot more powerful.

    Garbage in, garbage out

    Hiring Studio by Metaview: An AI copilot for generating insightful interview questions.

    I've worked with many hiring managers, and this can be especially helpful for newer managers or those in larger organizations and fast-growing startups that lack the resources for dedicated recruiters. I love the follow-up questions feature, which is key to understanding a candidate's approach and mindset. The real challenge is uploading a job description that clearly outlines the position's "jobs to be done"—easier said than done! Otherwise, it's garbage in, garbage out. It would be great to see suggestions for test projects or live work tests to better assess a candidate’s skillset.
