The Home feature for @NotionHQ is the sasquatch of the software world.

Some claim to have seen it.

There are even pictures.

But, the consensus seems to be that's it's not real.

@hobdaydesign Illustrators have had this problem for almost a century.

1. Illustrator becomes known for a particular visual style.

2. Everyone wants to hire them for that style.

3. Tastes change and the audience wants something different.

4. Illustrator's career "peaks", then crashes.

@tylercowen Not everything worthwhile can be legislated. Least of all amorphous concepts like "diversity."

Might as well legislate that professors be "nice" to each other.

@hobdaydesign Unfortunately, I see many designers RAVE about some of these landing pages.

But, I have never signed up for anything because the scrolling animations were sliiiiiiiick.

@itsdesignertom Tone. Writing it out is risky.

@ow Nothing beats driving around your own neighborhood at 3am listening to Beach Wave Sounds, eating McDonald's nuggets and crying with joy because that baby finally fell asleep.

@webflow @CampaignerEmail WAIT, what?
Webflow is taking on email now?!!

@hobdaydesign There's a self-deprecating dirty joke in here somewhere.

Finish it quietly at your desks.

@BlairDHoover @webflow Webflow's visual design + Ghost-style editor = ultimate creator platform.

[Thomas Amador @thomasamador]

@BlairDHoover @webflow Ghost has a beautiful text editor that allows you to focus on writing and creating content.

But if you want to design the site you have to buy a template, commission a design, or code it up yourself.

[Thomas Amador @thomasamador]

@BlairDHoover @webflow Blogging on Webflow is like entering data into a form.

If you're creating a personal site and want to be able to design (or have others design) the site AND publish content you're stuck with essentially an input field.

@_NYC_dev Closest thing I've found that's a blend between Webflow and Ghost.

[Thomas Amador @thomasamador]

@_NYC_dev I have been using ghost but honestly don't have the time right now to build a theme or tweak a lot of css right now.

Literally, Webflow with a Ghost editor would just CRUSH for building your own website + blog.

[Thomas Amador @thomasamador]

@_NYC_dev If I was building for clients I would use Webflow.

But only because I won't have to create content on the site.

@NotionHQ
C'mon. I need a Home 🏡. T

Just attended @itsdesignertom's presentation at the https://t.co/5nffnNTC8R conference today.

One of the best presentations I've seen in a long time. Clearly articulated, actionable advice for designers looking to actually create their own POV.
