@mathewi Haven't thought about that site in such a long time. The UX was pretty good.

@jwarminsky It had a lot going for it! But ultimately it was founded on a lie -- or perhaps a delusion, although in the long run they are the same thing 😃

@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.
