What they are

Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.

Mailchimp

Mailchimp is an email marketing and automation platform used by independent creators, small businesses, and e-commerce brands to build subscriber lists, send campaigns, and track engagement. It offers drag-and-drop email builders, audience segmentation, and basic landing pages. The platform is mature and well-documented, though its pricing scales quickly once your list grows beyond a few hundred contacts.
