The People’s Uber: Why The Sharing Economy Must Share Ownership
Workers are often taken advantage of by the on-demand economy. What if they ran it instead?
Mayor Bill de Blasio recently discovered, during his short-lived campaign against Uber, that saying no to a popular, convenient new technology doesn’t tend to win many friends—or win much at all.

Webflow Builds Sites Without Code, Like Squarespace Crossed With Photoshop
When design and code combine, building websites may never be the same.
Right now, the web is split between designers and developers. The designers mock up layouts in Photoshop. The developers turn that imagery into functional code via standards like CSS and Javascript. As a result, designers have three options: just use a turnkey platform like Squarespace (and sacrifice a unique design voice), learn to code themselves (which isn’t necessarily their specialty), or constantly pay for coding services (which ultimately makes web development slower and more expensive for the client).
