The more I read about vimeo the more I wonder what's up with these guys. Only recently they made some god aweful policy changes for content creators(1), but it looks like they treat their enterprise customers just the same. Surely, the

To be fair Pinboard.in was down quite a lot recently and its DNS has expired(1). There was a big discussion here (2) and on Twitter IIRC that the author had lost his interest in product and no updates were being made. So there are no guaran

This looks kinda similar to smartlook.com which we've been using for many years now. It also has error logging, devtools, etc and even the pricing looks kinda similar. Was zipy inspired from that? Anyway, I really like smartlook and I
