What they are
Flodesk
Flodesk is an email marketing platform focused on design-first newsletters and automated workflows. It attracts independent creators, photographers, and small-business owners who prioritize aesthetics over deep segmentation. The flat monthly rate has been abandoned, pricing is now subscriber-based and scales with list size ($19 is the starting price at 1,000 subs) so the price scales as the list grows. The trade-off is a thinner feature set compared to platforms like Klaviyo or ActiveCampaign.
Stable Diffusion
Stable Diffusion is Stability AI's family of open-weight text-to-image models, covering everything from the widely adopted SD 1.5 and SDXL to the current SD 3.5 series. Developers access it via a credit-based API, while creators with capable hardware can run it locally for free under the Community License. It spans image generation, editing, upscaling, style transfer, 3D asset creation, and audio generation. The ecosystem of community fine-tunes, LoRAs, and third-party UIs is unmatched, but that depth comes with a real learning curve.
