Re:Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B on Thursday September 15, 2022 @01:47PM (#32855793)
I can't believe I'm not the only one. Something similar happened to me with one of their iPad painting apps. They told me it would be completely free for artists. Went to save my files and put them on my computer for printing, only to learn they were locked within the adobe cloud cage of despair

aw thanks!

Without giving too much away, there's definitely a little bit of a gotcha here. We wanted to call attention to the bait-and-switch tactics that have become completely acceptable in b2b content marketing, especially gated content. It makes us sad that these have devalued the medium to the point of all-ebooks-suck-forever

They don't all suck! Some do, but some also REALLY REALLY don't. (We'd know, we've read 100 over the past several months)

So we're creating a platform where the not-so-great guides can no longer hide behind splashy landing pages and big ad spends--where the best content will rise to the top. We're wrapping up development on that now and planning for a beta launch on January 10.

For anyone that's curious, this tool was created 100% in webflow, without any additional code.

Please let us know how you feel about the experience and if it changes the way you view free guides/ebooks.

I actually think the voice is pretty good for sleeping, feels very droney. but the nonsensicalness of the stories made it harder to sleep because my brain was trying to figure out what was going on
You forgot a plastic straw (lol) although I wonder if those are really as bad as the rap they've gotten or there are more detrimental plastics that we don't even think about
