Raindrop IO: Effortless Content Organization

-CONTENT RESEARCH-

RAINDROP

Creators need to consume.

Articles, newsletters, tweet threads - it’s remarkable just how much content I consume just to create this newsletter.

Keeping track of these little tidbits of inspiration is a task in itself.

Raindrop is a bookmark manager that I use to keep my content research organized and accessible in one library.

A “second brain” for creators.

Its free plan is extremely powerful, but the paid plan does add a couple of cherries on top.
