You have probably heard of my rumblings about Zapier raising my monthly fees from $50 to $300/mo next year. I have been spending most of the week learning a new platform, ActivePieces, to migrate all of my automations over to. It’s a nice platform, and I think the team has done a great job with it. I will be creating some integrations that I need for them. That is one thing that I like about them. I can create the integrations and don't need to wait for them to do it.
I forget if I mentioned this before but If you are doing Google Ads, Chris discovered that Google has released Google Ads Editor for Mac.
There are a couple of nice Appsumo deals for you. I have picked up both of them...
SearchIQ is an easy to implement site search. Chris Powers has already tested it on StacksGuru and it worked great. And that site uses Total CMS so we know it works great with it.
EmailDelivery is a self hosted email platform. I have not fully set it up yet but I am impressed so far. I will probably be moving most of my email off Sendy and over it this next year. It's got me thinking of possible offering it as a platform for users. Reply and let me know if you would be interested.
Paul has some nice praise for Chillidog Hosting. If you are looking for a full service hosting company, check them out. Greg has been a staple in the community for years.
Josh has gotten hooked (see what I did there?) on my git publishing setup. He is thinking of doing a course on it but is wondering how much interest there is. He has refined the workflow from when I set it up years ago. Interested? Let him know...
To close out this email, I am going to be blunt and straight to the point. Feeds is the Deal of the Week. If you do not have this, you need it. The stack is seriously powerful. You have until Sunday.
Friday Hangout starts in 30mins. Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Joe
