An amazingly engaging chatbot alternative for your site, logarithmic growth vs exponential growth, structure itself can be a message and much more
You either have a website, want to create one, or create websites for a living. Here's a template that shows you exactly what to write and where to write it on your website.
Show, don't tell. Instead of a boring email or a long unnecessary meeting, send a Loom video link of whatever it is you want to show, share or discuss. It'll impress your peers, and save everyone time.
Why use a chatbot when you can just be you? Bring your website to life with a video chatbot using VideoAsk. It's fresh, futuristic and bound to impress.

Note: I built my chatbot from scratch using Webflow.
Growth isn't linear. Most areas of life follow one of two growth curves.
a) Logarithmic growth
Gains come quickly initially but decrease/slow down over time.
Examples of logarithmic growth
b) Exponential growth
Gains come slowly at first but snowball swiftly over time.
Examples of exponential growth
Why should you care about this?
So that you don't get frustrated or confused next time you start a new project/hobby/endeavour and the growth isn't what you expected.
Now you are in a better position to set expectations.
I tried to balance familiarity and differentiation.
See anything cool? Or not so cool?
Send in your feedback. I'd love to hear it.
Structure itself can be a message. -Timothy Samara
Symmetrical layouts are the oldest organizing principle:
Used when trying to convey a classical or authoritative vibe.
Examples:
Asymmetrical layouts achieve visual balance in a unique playful manner:
Used when trying to give the impression of modernity or a more casual attitude.
Examples:
As World War I started, abstract broken grid layouts were created to express the horror of the conflict.
Used to create a more distinguished and unforgettable experience.
Examples:
1) You really only have about 5 hours to be properly productive during the day. After that time frame you become increasingly distracted.
So, try not to be disappointed in yourself when you're 5 hours in and can't focus anymore.
You're not lazy.
You're just lazy after 5 hours, like the rest of us.
Give yourself a break.
2) Dear creator, everything is a remix. Get good at stealing, combining, and adapting. You'll find your own lane that way.
3) Get into a flow and don't slow down. Turn on "Do Not Disturb" and use my deep focus playlist to get in the zone faster.
1) Detention desks in art school must look amazing
2) If you wear camouflage in public, you stand out more
3) Buses have the route number on the back so you can confirm that it was your bus you just missed
