Fathom Analytics

It’s never been more of a heavy lift and a time suck to report on website analytics, so let’s talk about a GA4 alternative. Fathom Analytics prioritizes ease of use, wicked fast code, and most of all, data privacy and compliance. Import your GA data into the dashboard, say goodbye to cookie banners, and start drilling down.

Copy Video Frame

Hot tip: Google quietly announced a new feature built into Chrome that makes it way easier to grab high-quality screenshots from videos. Just pause anywhere in a video and right-click to select “Copy Video Frame” to get a clean copy of your desired frame. It comes in handy for all sorts of things—like curating a newsletter, for example.

PlainScribe

PlainScribe is your ally if you’re looking to quickly transcribe (and search) your video and audio files, generate translations in over 50 languages, and synthesize the key points of your media with a summary of every 15-minute segment. Plus, its pay-as-you-go model and capacity for large files make it flexible for whatever you’re working on.

Yep

Yep, you read that right. This is a totally free video chat host to rival Zoom—but it won’t time out, make you log in, require you to download or install anything, or ask for your email. In fact, Yep doesn’t keep track of who you are at all. Join from your iPhone or Android or PC or Mac.
