So if you wanna walk your dog and you don\u2019t want to do it in the rain, Forecast.io is the place to look. It\u2019s a very, very smart and well-designed weather app.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/draftin.com\/images\/14996?token=jsTOKM1bWfT1t_gA-1OOMiTN0iGyPBtk-gF3Pit2kLOT_JSUKHYIbzTtDwpdcs-mQCEKt2mHhhWHAMoqhyMYH-I\" width=\"497\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/draftin.com\/\">Draft<\/a>\u00a0($4\/month or $40\/year)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Draft emphasizes that you get better the more you write so it gives you these great stats about how many words per day you\u2019ve written, what hour of the day you\u2019re most productive, what reading level you\u2019re writing is at. It really incentivizes you to write more and so if you\u2019re doing that with Draft, the subscription is definitely worth that. It\u2019s just a few bucks a month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22681\" alt=\"kidpost\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/10\/kidpost.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/10\/kidpost.jpg 475w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2014\/10\/kidpost-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidpost.net\/\">KidPost<\/a>\u00a0(Free during Beta period)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kid Post sends a daily email to whoever opts in to your Kid Post, like Grandma or Grandpa, and it rolls up the photos from all those other services and it sends them out to everyone and includes the photos inline.
