THE FREECYCLE NETWORK

LIBBY

WORDHIPPO
“Wordhippo! It is, hands down, the best online thesaurus ever.
You can search synonyms and antonyms, and it includes slang, explicit language, and multi-word phrases, all of which are typically excluded in other thesauruses I’ve used. This feature lets you find both more specific/academic/professional words and more general/slang/colloquial words. It’s saved my sanity in term papers and texts alike. When you search a word or phrase, you get a page that breaks down synonyms by meaning and part of speech (check out this page for “live,” with 11 verb usages, 13 adjective usages, and three adverb usages).”
STACKOVERFLOW
“Stackoverflow because I wouldn’t be a developer without it.”
THE NOUN PROJECT
“thenounproject has a wide selection of icons. I use them for presentations!”
TUBI TV
“Tubi TV. It has a ton of movies. Not exactly a box office hit, but it’s got movies, and they change every month. I’ve watched movies like Fury and Airplane! on there. The best part is you can get it on a phone, laptop, and Ps4, as far as I know. 100% free, 100% recommend
Edit: They also have TV shows and Anime. I’ve watched One punch man and Fairy Tale.”
THE FOREST APP
“If you’re a student or are really trying to stay focused at work, there’s an app called The Forest: Stay Focused (I could be wrong, but it’s definitely The Forest). It’s a free app that’s available as an extension on Google Chrome or the Apple AppStore. Basically, you plant a tree, set a time limit, and you can only go on the sites that you’ve added to the whitelist, or your tree will die. It’s designed to stop you from always being on social media while you’re supposed to be studying or doing something productive.”
KHAN ACADEMY
“Khan Academy. It’s free, free knowledge!”
FIND HELP.ORG
“Findhelp lists all of the free and reduced-cost resources in the US. Starting with your Zip Code, it returns food banks, housing shelters, financial assistance, bus passes, etc. It’s completely free to use with no ads. If you don’t need it, someone you know probably does!”
YOUTUBE
“YouTube. You can learn anything there. Vocal warmups? Got it. How to do close-up magic? Easy peasy. How to best plant beans? Here’s a step-by-step, and people are willing to clarify the steps in the comments. The possibilities are endless!”
