  1. Ah, #blogging, that ancient art of stating the glaringly #obvious as if one has discovered the Holy Grail 🏆. Thank goodness for bloggers who bravely inform us that pop-ups are annoying! Next, they’ll reveal that water is wet, and the sky is blue 🌧️🌌.

  6. ✨ NEW free Carrd plugin: Native popup modal

    I keep seeing people ask about popups and modals in Carrd. But there's a way to just use native elements to mimic the effect of a popup.

    No need for embed code, no messing around with CSS and HTML.

    🍾 nativepopup.carrd.co

    First time making a 'plugin' without any code, that can be used even on the free Basic plan!

  30. News publishers take #paywall-blocker 12ftio offline
    The News/Media Alliance says it will take action against similar tools in the future.
    12ftio — or #12FootLadder — allowed users to view webpages without #ads, #trackers, or #popups by disguising a user’s browser as a #webcrawler, giving them unfettered access to a webpage’s contents. Software engineer Thomas Millar says he created the site when he realized “8 of the top 10 links on Google were paywalled”
