DeArrow

DeArrow is an open-source browser extension that takes aim at YouTube’s never-ending cycle of clickbait.

Basically, it lets the community (100k+) crowdsource more accurate titles and thumbnails for videos.

Users can submit and vote on clean, context-driven alternatives, which helps restore some sanity to the YouTube experience. What a relief.

Linkie

Linkie is like Linktree, but way more flexible.

Basically, it lets you showcase everything you do without the “powered by” branding.

Drag, drop, and resize cards to feature links, embeds, posts, products, or offers. Build your subscriber list directly from your page. Use your own domain. Get real-time analytics.

It’s also free forever, with a one-time lifetime upgrade option.

The Nature Rating

Super, Natural British Columbia has launched The Nature Rating, a digital tool designed to help you assess and improve your connection to the natural world.

The organization’s new Nature Report, which surveyed 2,000 U.S. adults, uncovered a growing “nature deficit” caused by lots of screen time and not so much outdoor activity.

Using AI, The Nature Rating analyzes films, TV shows, books, and music for over 270 nature-related keywords, assigning each title a score out of 10.

As a bonus, you can also get recommendations for more nature-rich content, plus tips for enjoying the outdoors.

Monday Campaigns

Monday.com has unveiled Monday Campaigns, expanding its CRM beyond sales into marketing.

The new features will hopefully solve a huge pain point: too many disconnected tools.

Now, by tying campaigns directly to CRM data, you’ll be able to launch and optimize without waiting for sales syncs.

There’s also AI-powered campaign creation, intelligent automation triggered by CRM updates or customer actions, and optimal timing recommendations for higher engagement.
