TechFOMO #1: The Demo that Made me Rethink 12+ Years of WordPress

Let’s get started

I’ve got somewhat of a reputation amongst my colleagues, friends and family as the 'go to guy’ for tech recommendations.

Will this interest you? Well if you’re like me I hope so. I am a habitual early adaptor who’s brain craves the dopamine hit of discovering new software or trialling productivity hacks.

This newsletter is an experiment. I’ve watched the resurgent growth of podcasting (I even bought a mic and Adobe subscription) and in the last 2 years I’ve become an evangelist for the power of the YouTube algorithm.

But is now the time of the newsletter? This is my latest attempt to grow something online by sharing my latest digital discoveries each week with you.

I really did consider Framer, and it was a close call, but the membership addons for Webflow are much more robust and established.

It was in learning Webflow that I discovered my first gem for you: Relume. Simply put Relume’s library of Webflow and Figma elements will save your hours even when building the simplest site.
