@mathewi Haven't thought about that site in such a long time. The UX was pretty good.
@mathewi @blogdiva I swear it launched earlier than 2014 and was originally targeting artists and designers. Or was that just the group that started using it initially? Maybe I was in an early beta? At any rate, I had forgotten about them and didn’t realize they had lasted this long.
