Which app/website do you regularly go to, that makes you feel your time was well spent?
I spend a sad amount of time mindlessly going through Instagram. Want to cut down, and replace with better apps, that actually make my time better spent. Curious which apps you all use that make you feel better after you use them?

Spending a lot of time on Grapevine now (grapes got me addicted) It is well until the addiction takes over,
Social media can never make you feel better, they are designed to lure you into unproductive expensive experiences

Grapevine for now. Feels like home untill i see a salary card.

Pinterest. Their search algorithm is amazing. UI is clean, great to create moodboards.

What do you usually go on Pinterest for?

As an idea box mostly. I create boards for projects be it work or personal. For eg, recently I was working on designing the checkout flow for a digital product. For visual design, I created a board and put in ideas that were unique in some ways. After about 10 pins, pinterest gets good at automatically suggesting similar ideas. So it evolves without me searching by myself.
On the personal front, recently redesigne the kitchen of my parents house. Had a particular design style in mind, so I collected photos pertaining to the materials to be used, the fit, finish, pattern of countertop etc. After this, all i had to do was share the board via whatsapp to the contractor. It gave him a holistic idea of our vision.
