joelhumphrey··on The best icon is a text label
Even though the login behavior on a web app's home page can cause hiccups with password manager compatibility, the alternate login form on the "You are now logged out" page is usually barebones enough to be compatible.

Compare the login forms for Verizon Wireless:

Home page - https://www.verizonwireless.com (upper right corner)

Logged out page - https://login.vzw.com/cdsso/public/c/logout

Tweaking your password manager settings to log you in through a site's logged out page can often bypass the compatibility headaches.

Using 1Password's Chrome extension, this trick has worked for me so far, although your mileage may vary.

Initial thoughts after looking at your design:

On each product page, including links to popular statuses and articles that mention the product could increase user engagement.

For videos that show a product in use, having a "Buy This" button that tracks the number of sales each video generates could help forge affiliate partnerships between manufactures and content creators.

joelhumphrey··on Are coder/IT volunteers needed in places coder/IT “types” don't know about?
The realm of fixing broken websites and unfinished web apps is wide open. Often, nonprofits with such projects have had a discouraging experience with web development in the past. Even though they need their project fixed/finished, they don't talk about it unless prompted.
joelhumphrey··on Freelance Inbox
Customer here.

I signed up for Freelance Inbox because I was frustrated with sifting through all the awful leads on job boards. In hindsight, I didn't know how to identify a good lead even if I found one. When the first Daily Leads email landed in my inbox, I thought "Oh, okay. So these are what good leads look like."

The $29/month provides a steady stream of freelancing opportunities, as if I had a virtual assistant finding leads for me Monday - Friday. Now I can spend my time responding to well-written, serious leads while patiently building freelancer/client relationships.
