Imagine being a fisherman whose boat is blocked in the ice around the Svalbard. Imagine going on foot on the island to find a shelter and coming back the next day to find the ice has gone away with your boat. Imagine having left a gun, 12 bullets and a lighter. Imagine surviving this place during 6 years in the 18th century.

That's what happened to 4 russians in 1743 and since I know this story keeps me in total awe for this place.

Looks promising, was considering using Calendly for a SaaS app I just launched to book demos but will give Calendso a try.

Was wondering if there was an integration with Salesforce via Zapier.


I think you could do that via a webhook


Oh I see now, thank you for having spotted this!


It feels like watching Andromeda Strain with amazing Gil Mellé OST...

I read once on the psychological effects of infinite scroll and that it made users somewhat anxious. I can not remember the source however.

This resonates with me. I don't like when I can not "feel the size" of a page. This might be ridiculous but I find it helps to materialize web pages when they do have a bottom.


What the actual schnitzel National Geographic! 289 HTTP requests, 12.53 MB / 4.77 MB transferred, Finish: 2.47 min. The article has litteraly 2 pictures. This is insane. I just added the domain to my pi-hole.


Maybe I should have been more precise, you are right. I was thinking of the key indicators that your project is financally viable, so maybe more related to finance / revenue.


Stop hacking my vertical scroll-farming! This inertia thing when scrolling is unbrearable.


For a website called 'intellgent living' you'd think there would be more intelligence involved. Crap website from start to finish.
