What's a product you wish more people knew about?


Any hidden gems that haven't received enough attention or popularity? Any category, even JS frameworks (I'd nominate SvelteKit).

Few of mine: 1) Dishwasher with automatic detergent dispenser. Such a tiny improvement but huge difference (mine is Beko but brand irrelevant)

2) Samsung DeX desktop mode for Android phones. Surprisingly smooth experience with external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Looking for continued development to replace primary device in a few years (unless VR gets there first)..

3) Domestic again, and pretty well known, but induction stoves. Surprisingly many still don't use one..

Waterpik, or some kind of analogous water flossing device. It's probably a sign of getting old, but I'm unironically excited about this purchase, even months after actually buying it.

I could basically never be bothered to floss the conventional way, but water flossing has become part of my nightly routine.

The amount of gunk that comes out from between your teeth even after brushing is pretty staggering.

Bidets. Or higienic showers. Or Japanese-style toilets. Toilet paper is not enough, folks.
