* https://www.sendinblue.com/ (like Mailchimp, but easier)

* https://logz.io/ (log aggregation FTW)

* https://www.skylight.io/ (application performance monitoring for Ruby, similar to New Relic, written in Rust)

Apple's new AirPods onboarding is sublime.

One quibble: whoever believed that grey text on white paper was a good idea has issues that need to be addressed.

I thought that the Carvana trade-in onboarding was pure magic. A "custom" video that described the valuation of my car was so cool that even though I ended up trading in my car with a car I bought at a dealership I really wanted to be a Carvana customer.

logz.io does not appear to support TLS on their homepage. I'm getting mixed content errors that are preventing stylesheet loading.

So, correct link may be http://logz.io instead of https://logz.io
