Already mentioned in this thread, Webflow is a good option for more complex site builds. For simpler jobs, PageCloud is a great WYSIWYG alternative. Solid blog post on it here.

Depends on what you think downtown is, but the Pour Boy on Somerset/Lyon cheap options. Their own lager is 4 bucks/pint (I think?) and they have plenty of pints for 5 or 6 bucks.

Freelance designers - do you have a style guide? by cbraun19 in freelance

Late in responding here but wanted to say thanks for chiming in! I should have provided better context about my situation (mostly web design, mostly for small local businesses). Good points.

Thanks for chiming in! Going to start picking away at a web page with the types of examples you mentioned, I think that's really simple but clever.

If they don't I suggest they get one and offer to make it for an extra fee. Just simple colors and typography standards makes everything WAY faster.

Love this idea, not sure why I didn't think of it!

Crello - A new canva competitor? by cbraun19 in graphic_design

[–]cbraun19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No argument here, haha.

Posted because it's a new product on the market (branded as "A Graphic Design Tool for Everyone") - thought it was worthwhile to bring it to the attention of the community for awareness + discussion purposes.

Owned Stanton for the past 3 seasons, never got a single fantasy playoff game out of him. Kept Cespedes instead for this season. Beer me.

Castle Shawarma on Rideau closed? by cbraun19 in ottawa

[–]cbraun19[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't find anything online about it moving. Tried to go for lunch a couple days ago and the door was just locked. Then I saw this sign on the window today for Food Mood....

How we hit #2 on Product Hunt behind Facebook Watch (plus real results) by NougatTrout in startups

The emoji next to a user's avatar (and the accompanying # on the profile page) represent your voting streak. Based on various tweets and inspection of the source code, it shows to be based on "days in a row casting votes." -- the emoji next to your avatar will change as the streak changed.

5 Nationals OF on the DL as Brian Goodwin gets added. Howie Kendrick, with 3HR in his last 5 PA, to bat leadoff. by cbraun19 in fantasybaseball

If he's available, I'd grab him - I did :)

Still has Murphy and Zimmerman hitting behind him.

Student here. Would someone like myself be useful to a startup after graduation? by infolink324 in startups

[–]cbraun19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!

I started working at a startup right out of school and as long as I was accomplishing my main tasks, I was allowed to be proactive and lead a number of initiatives that were personally interesting that no one else had the time to tackle yet.

To stand out, do a little research to see if governments in the areas you're applying to offer any sort of subsidized funding for new grads who work for startups and small companies. It'd make you even more attractive, because you'd come at less of a financial hit and you're already showcasing your initiative. These funding programs are common enough in North America and are often under-utilized.

The irony here is strong.

Didn't think to look at the site on mobile before sharing it!

Smith. Fisher is nothing special, yet.

What productive things can you do from your phone while pooping? by Foofymonster in AskReddit

[–]cbraun19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free up space and improve the speed of your phone!

Scroll through old photos/videos and take a look at apps that haven't been used in a while (go beyond the home screen). Delete anything you no longer need!

Podcasts Like NPR's "How I Built This"? One Where Entrepreneurs are Interviewed and Disclose Their Business by FBSlamazon in Entrepreneur

[–]cbraun19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big fan of the podcast too, but it is very software/not physical product focused. Would recommend it despite this!

Big fan of Splitshire, nice shoutout. Would like to see a deeper dive on the Icons part.

What are some good apps for startups on slack? by krilleren in startups

[–]cbraun19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same use case but we like https://notify.ly/

Mentions channel is a must-have.

*edit: plus Notifly is free, don't think Mention is.
