It's super slick how they showcase the object as you scroll down, but flattening it into a single URL and only making one scan available per month restricts your audience appeal.
I only first heard of this site when they did the lego minifigs last month. Did they publish any other scans prior to that?
- Starmina 5y agoSo you have actually a reason put your email in their newsletter input box because you wouldn't want to 'miss' anything you can't go back to.
- d110af5ccf 5y agoExcept the only thing it did was cause me to wonder if they were a new site. And then when I saw this my opinion of them dropped dramatically. It's a dark pattern and I don't want to support that.
- veb 5y agoI mean, you're right - but honestly it's really fucking cool. I never sign up to newsletters but this made me do it because it's really fucking cool. Though - I'd be keen to pay $5/m for premium access to what they do, their previous scans. Charge people $10/m so they have voting rights on what to do next. Possibilities are endless! I have a couple of Patreons for people writing federated apps/code, and it's always nice to support them. Would do the same here because I get enormous value from it and it's really fucking cool
