With over 300.000 visitors this year (and far over one million since I started this blog<\/a>, not yet announcing your tool here<\/a>? you’re missing out on a great opportunity!! ), it’s time to wrap up the year with our review of what posts were the most popular ones this year (among all posts written during 2019, which obviously favors posts that were published early in the year but, hey. life is not fair; I also removed from the list classic posts that were updated in 2019 so just fresh content in the list!).<\/p>\n
