MailChimp’s Benchmark Comparison Tool

See how your email marketing benchmarks stack up against the industry average with MailChimp’s handy dandy little comparison tool.

Just choose your field—we love that you can get pretty granular here—and MailChimp will return the average open rate, click rate, unsubscription rate, hard bounce rate, and soft bounce rate.

Bookmark this on your phone for when you’re headed into a meeting where someone will inevitably ask you why the CTR isn’t closer to 100%. 😅

Copyright Trap

Has your work been fed to and ripped off by an AI model? It’s hard to say, but safe to assume.

If you’re concerned with the protection of your intellectual property, you can set a “copyright trap.” Researchers at Imperial College London have figured out that hiding strings of gibberish text in source code, for example, could serve as a smoking gun for an AI model trained on your work.

Just something to keep in mind. The code is available at GitHub.

Learn UI Design Gradient Generator (v2)

Gradient geeks! Here’s something for you.

Create gorgeous gradients across 8 color spaces, avoid the gray dead zone, and even take the long way around the color wheel using the long interpolation direction.

Browse an all-new gradient gallery for inspo, share by URL, drag and drop into Figma, and more. Alternatively, just fiddle around with the pretty colors to lower your cortisol.

Notion2Charts

This one is a no-code, freemium app that allows you to visualize your Notion database with embeddable charts.

Notion is, first and foremost, a note-taking tool. Despite lots of customizable database options, it leaves much to be desired in the way of a visual dashboard.

Notion2Charts lets you generate and calibrate bar graphs, line charts, pie charts, radar charts, doughnuts, and KPIS to get a better picture of your data.

Send A Cake

If you’re looking for a corporate and group gifting service that will make an explosive impression, try Send A Cake.

For $30 to $50 a pop, you can shock your colleagues with a burst of confetti, delight them with a flurry of spring-loaded surprises, or literally shower them with cash money. Way more memorable than some dusty chocolate with your logo on it.
