I think the most exciting thing about this rebrand is that I discovered they now offer a free tier while I poked around on their website.
Also... I'm going to miss the green :(
Tell me more about this product that they're launching next year. :D
This feels so nostalgic, but in a very fresh kinda way. It's fun to see the ways that technology has changed here. Things like text masks that, in the days of yore, would have required bitmap images, can be done with CSS. Something about this site is just comforting. And, as Steven mentioned, it makes me want to build a blog.
I'm dubious about this article based on the very first sentence:

It looks great. However the lack of real field labels is a usability killer. I clicked on the first field and immediately forgot what I was supposed to be filling in. Placeholders aren't accessible by screen readers either, so a label

Get real return for your time
Her Twitter account has no tweets and a watermarked image as a profile photo
The Flowmagic page on Betalist shows her as a Co-Founder along with some other fellows.
The whole thing just feels a little off. Not sure I'd trust them with my data.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I completely agree. I 100% expected this to be some weird Buzzfeed list — not Dribbble.
