Are you happy with Framer?

We're considering switching to Framer so our non-technical designer can manage the site without relying on code.

I'm seeing very mixed opinions. This subreddit seems to (understandably) criticize the pricing, while others regularly recommend Framer. Then I noticed its Trustpilot rating is only 1.7/5, which gave me pause.

For those who actually pay for and use Framer (not agencies or freelancers who get paid to use it), are you happy with it, or would you recommend avoiding it?

[HELP] "Switch to Seller" does nothing, support isn't helping

I've had a Fiverr account since 2017 as a buyer and recently decided to start selling, but I can't activate seller mode.

The "Switch to Seller" button appears in the top right, but clicking it does absolutely nothing. I also tried the "become a freelancer" option in my profile, but it just brings me back to the same dashboard with the same non-working button.

I've followed up with support several times, but they haven't responded since their initial reply.

Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Non-technical site builder recommendation (not webflow)?

We’re a SaaS brand looking to get our site off Webflow into something new.

Looking for a site builder recommendation that:

  • Doesn’t require coding knowledge to use (even a little)
  • Can have AI features like generating initial page, but MUST allow full manual control to make changes without needing to dictate those changes to AI to make
  • Not new. Looking for an established brand (just no small-time brands).

I recently tried Ploy. Wanted to rip my hair out as it doesn’t really let you make changes without asking its AI to do it, which it always gets wrong.

Don’t want to use Webflow. We’re too dependant on having a “Webflow developer” to make every little update for us.

I want something our non-technical designer can simply use and work with.

Has anyone compared highly manual, ultra-personalized cold outreach vs. traditional cold email at scale?

I'm curious if anyone has actually tested the opposite end of the cold email spectrum. Instead of sending hundreds or thousands of emails with light personalization (first name, company, maybe a custom first line), has anyone tried sending a much smaller number of highly personalized emails where each one takes 20 to 30 minutes to research and write? I'm talking about emails that are obviously not templated and clearly show you've spent time understanding the prospect and why your offer is a great fit for them.

If you've tested both approaches, how did the results compare in terms of reply rates, positive responses, meetings booked, and ultimately closed deals? Was the extra effort worth it, or did it perform about the same as a more traditional cold email approach?

How to fix SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless Audio Crackling/Buffering with USB Receiver?

I'm having an issue with my SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless headset when using the included USB receiver (not Bluetooth). During both intense gameplay (Black Ops, Battlefield) and even calm menu music, I frequently hear a rough crackling, buffering, or scratching sound that lasts a few seconds before returning to normal.

I've ruled out the game, TV, and PC because the issue disappears when I use a wired headset or route the audio through my TV speakers. I also ruled out receiver placement by testing it very close to the headset on another device with the same result. I tried installing SteelSeries GG to check for firmware updates, but the app won't launch on my Windows PC, even when running it as administrator.

Has anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions on what else I should try?

If Upwork Time Tracker was used, is there any realistic chance of winning a dispute?

I hired a freelancer on an hourly contract, and from my experience with the work they're doing, I believe they've billed significantly more time than the work should have taken. They used the Upwork Time Tracker (not manual time), and I'm planning to review the screenshots/activity logs before drawing any conclusions. If I end up finding long periods of inactivity or evidence that the billed hours don't reasonably reflect the work being done, does Upwork actually take that into account during a dispute, or is using the Time Tracker essentially enough to guarantee the freelancer gets paid and an automatic win for them?

Will replacing my motherboard's stock Wi-Fi antenna with a smaller aftermarket antenna hurt performance?

I recently built a Mini-ITX gaming PC in a Jonsbo NV10 case.

My motherboard (Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX) came with one of those large Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antennas that attaches to the back of the motherboard using two antenna connectors and sits on a separate stand. It works fine, but it's quite large and takes up more desk space than I'd like.

I noticed that Amazon sells much smaller antennas for around $10-$15 that screw directly onto the back of the motherboard and bend at a 90-degree angle, which would make the setup much cleaner and more compact.

Example of the type I'm considering:
https://cleanshot.com/share/Kqk4mN6c

My question is: how much Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance would I realistically lose by switching to one of these smaller generic antennas (if any)?

Is it a simple matter of ordering these compact antennas and just testing their Wifi speed against what I was getting with my current antenna, or is there more to consider?

How to digitise old film rolls of our family history?

Apologies if this isn’t even the right Subreddit to ask this in.

My family just received about 46 of these old films with our family history and we’d like to find out the best way to digitise it so we can store it and share it with family.

I have no idea where to even start with this.

Would I buy some old machine off FB marketplace to do it ourselves? Are there stores or individuals that specialise in converting old film rolls into digital?

Would love a couple of pointers to point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance.

Best AI website builder that can redesign an existing website from a URL?

I'm looking for an AI website builder that can take an existing website URL and redesign it automatically.

Most of the tools I've found are great at generating websites from scratch, but I already have sites with content, images, and copy in place. I just want to paste in a URL and have the AI create a much more modern, professional-looking version while preserving as much of the existing content as possible.

Does anyone know of a tool that does this well?

Seeking a technical co-founder that hates marketing

I'm looking for a technical co-founder.

I've (33m) spent years leading growth and marketing for (mostly) SaaS companies, from early-stage startups to teams of 40+ people. I'm currently Head of Growth for a well-known Calendly competitor and previously ran marketing for Indeed's largest competitor in Australia and New Zealand. It's time to start building something of our own.

I'm not married to any specific idea yet. I have a shortlist and a framework for evaluating opportunities, but I'd rather find the right person first, exchange ideas, challenge each other's ideas, and decide together what to build.

What I bring to the table:

Growth marketing, positioning and messaging, conversion optimization, customer research, product strategy, UI and UX feedback, marketing design, customer support, partnerships, and demand generation. My goal is to own everything related to understanding customers, growing the business, generating revenue, and helping shape the product based on real market feedback.

I'm primarily wanting to solve an incredibly boring but expensive B2B problem together, but open to B2C.

These principles are important to me and should be to you too:

  1. Customer-led development. We build what customers repeatedly ask for, not what we imagine they want.
  2. Polished, intuitive UI and UX with fewer features but better execution. We refine existing features before shipping new ones. Think Apple, not Android.
  3. Radical transparency. We build in public, share what's working and what isn't, and use that to build trust, marketing momentum, and partnerships.
  4. No-code and pre-built solutions wherever possible. We don't spend weeks building what already exists.
  5. Exceptional customer support. SaaS is wildly saturated and often CS is the only thing that makes or breaks a customer's decision to stick with us. We should be recommended for our amazing CS, if nothing else.
  6. We develop done-for-you services for customers willing to pay extra for implementation and setup help to reduce churn and generate additional revenue.
  7. Low operational overhead. We leverage existing tools and lifetime deals wherever practical. (I have plenty of useful SaaS LTDs to keep our recurring costs down that we can leverage).

IMPORTANT: this is NOT for someone who's already building something and looking for a marketer to join. I respect the work you've put in, but if you've already started building the house, I'll always be moving into something that already belongs to you. I'm looking for a true 50/50 partnership where we start from zero together and make the key decisions side by side. If you're still in the idea stage, that's fine.

Once we decide on the right opportunity, you'll build the MVP while I focus on customer research, positioning, messaging, validation, demand generation, and building an audience before launch.

This opportunity is probably a great fit if you're highly technical, love building products, and get excited by solving technical problems, but have little interest in marketing, sales, customer interviews, copywriting, design, partnerships, or customer support. If your ideal setup is focusing on building an amazing product while someone else handles growth, we'll likely work well together.

If you can't go full-time immediately, that's completely fine. The goal is for both of us to transition full-time as revenue grows and hopefully get there as quickly as possible.

This is a 50/50 partnership.

If this resonates with you, send me a DM. Tell me your name, where you're from, where you're currently located, your experience building products, and what specifically resonated with you about this post. We can chat a bit and then hop on a call to go from there.

How to map a button to record the last 30 sec. of gameplay?

*I asked this 4 months ago but myself and others facing the same issue in the comments never found a solution, so I'm positing again.*

One feature I miss from playing on Xbox was the ability to map a button on my Elite Controller to record the last 30 seconds of gameplay whenever I hit a certain button.

I now game on PC with the Gamesir Cyclone 2.

In the Gamesir Connect app you can re-map buttons, and I'm trying to remap the Share button on my Cyclone 2 to a similar function. Is this possible at all?

Please don't recommend asking in the Gamesir Discord. Discord is a gigantic mess for getting support as there's no proper way to get notified when someone replies to your post without manually checking for replies to your post every day.

Keep getting "syncing with icloud paused" error in Photos

I'm trying to keep photos synced between my phone and Macbook.

Each time I come in to photos, I get an error saying that "Syncing with icloud is paused".

I have available storage on both devices and in iCloud.

And when I manually force the sync, it works fine (further confirming it's not a storage issue).

Any thoughts on how to resolve this so it'll auto synch always?

ELI5: Should I use the portable or installed version of Playnite?

I'm setting up a mini gaming PC that I'm trying to use as much like a console as possible, and I'm a bit confused about whether I should be using the portable or installed version of Playnite.

I'm not particularly technical, but I do plan on spending a lot of time organizing my library, updating completion statuses, creating lists, and customizing the interface. One thing I'm concerned about is what happens if I eventually replace the PC or move to a new hard drive. I don't want to lose all that work or have to recreate everything from scratch.

From what I understand, the portable version seems like it might make moving everything easier in the future, but I'm not sure what the downsides are compared to the installed version.

If I stick with the installed version, how difficult is it to move everything to a new PC later? Is it basically a simple copy-and-paste job, or does it get more complicated than that? Realistically, if I only upgrade every few years, could I just pay someone on Upwork $20 to handle it for me?

For someone whose main goal is to use a mini PC as a controller-driven console experience, is there any meaningful advantage to choosing the installed version over the portable version?

Please explain to me like I'm 5.

Playing Legacy of Thieves Collection on Steam and can’t figure out a couple controls

Just got the Legacy of Thieves Collection which is the fourth game + it’s shorter DLC add on.

Despite playing with a controller (GameSir Cyclone 2) it keeps showing me keyboard keys for the on-screen icons for controls.

I even set the controller icon lock setting to XB1 for Xbox icons since they match my GameSir, but it still shows PC controls.

And in the key bindings settings it does show Xbox button mappings to PC keys after I switched to XB1 but still shows pc keys in the game itself.

Is there any way to make the prompts show in Xbox buttons instead?

Best long-term visa option for Canadian marketing freelancer?

I’m a Canadian freelancer/consultant who runs my own business, and I’m curious what realistic visa options exist for living in the U.S. beyond the usual 6-month visitor limit.

A fellow Canadian recently told me it’s supposedly quite easy if you own a business, claiming you could even open something like an ice cream shop and use that to stay in the U.S. long-term. That sounds a bit too simple, so I’m wondering if there’s actually any truth to that.

For Canadians who have gone through this, especially if you’re self-employed and not sponsored by a U.S. employer, what are the most realistic pathways?
