A lot of people have no idea you can take a photo with the volume buttons. I frequently see people struggling to take selfies with the touchscreen button.

I can also back this up from experience reviewing a Packt book. By the end of the process I regretted starting after quickly realising the quality was so low.

A cool idea, but I think the business model is flawed. I would think about dropping the subscription. How many people can be free the same weekend several months in a row for more than a few months? Probably not very many who can also commi

We use to use http://sendy.co/ which is a self hosted solution, but doesn't really offer anything in the way of templates and lacks some features. We ultimately left as we now use Intercom but I'd be interested in

Love this! But I'm surprised not to see main Spanish cities on here. I took a short trip to Seville and was amazed how cheap everything was (I live in London). There was an abundance of Airbnb accommodation, eating out was cheap and yo
