Reminds me of La Boca in Buenos Aires: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=la+boca+buenos+aires&t=osx&iax=ima...

>"We make analyzing a rental property so easy Grandma can do it!"

There are lots of grandmas who are engineers, scientists, doctors, and inventors. There are plenty of ways to land that message without carrying forward the spirit of 1950s Madison Ave. Plus, that copy doesn't tell anything about the product, it's fluff.

"Analyze deal potential without leaving Zillow"

"Automatically analyze rental properties as you browse"

"View critical deal metrics as you browse"

etc

The article is saying that Zapier is ripe to be unbundled.

Meaning it does many different things across many verticals, and that some of them are big enough that a company could be created around building a more specialized / better version of zapier just for a specific vertical.

You might enjoy this video, Stanley Tang of DoorDash talking about how they got their first few orders... masterclass in 'minimum amount of initial work to validate a concept'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQOC-qy-GDY

Thank you for your amazing work! It would be great to document that supported subset for Bodymovin to AVD — the Lottie supported features[1] matrix is awesome, and it would really create a ton of value to also document AVD support for Bodymovin in the same way. It's so black box right now, troubleshooting involves tweaking path nesting, exporting, diff xml, tweak, export, repeat.

I would recommend filling in real address details in Mailchimp. After I entered my email and was taken to the confirmation page I immediately regretted it when I saw the "1234 B St LA, California 90210" address. Not a good signal for legitimacy.

In São Paulo they have the "clean city law"[1] which banned outdoor advertising in 2006. Pretty crazy, here's a flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tonydemarco/sets/7215760007550...

You could start from the lobste.rs source, available here: https://github.com/jcs/lobsters

There is a mirror floating around of news.arc[1], the original version of HN from pg, but it's pretty dated and missing tons of the secret sauce.

TropicalMBA for startup business talk. Nathan Barry Show and Kalzumeus for inspiring, actionable content. Seth Godin's Startup School series is pretty timeless as well.

Great write-up, really piqued my interest in Rockefeller. Any good reads you can recommend?

ShiftIt is extremely similar to Spectacle (I use both on different machines) and should be functional back to 10.6.

I've been working in the motion design industry (vfx/animation for broadcast and commercials) for 12 years.

I'm excited by the convergence of our industries. The existing talent in the motion industry will need some guidance - right now motion graphics often revolve around "concepts powered by wizz-bang-wow!", and will need to become much more intention-driven to have successful user experiences.

More and more motion companies are branching out in some form or another to the "digital" world - apps, digital content (pre-rolls, short-form video ads), etc. I think companies that can "realize" the priority of user interaction and implement that in their offerings will be in a great position as companies like apple/google/facebook look for their help.

AE has a pretty powerful javascript-based scripting language that can write exporters like this very easily. I regularly write exporters for passing timing/transform matrices back and forth within our 2D/3D pipeline.

Like russell_h said, the email includes just a teaser snippet so you have to click through - and I've never encountered the BWoD (Blurry Wall of Death) after clicking through.
