That's a great idea, if I get enough interest I'll definitely reach out to some potential clients. Not sure how to stop pros taking part, maybe submitting with a linkedin profile to check. Kind of assume pros would not be interested in this tho. Thanks for the feedback!
My qualifications are that it's my competition, therefore my rules, ha. Seriously though, that's a good suggestion - at this stage, it's very low key but if enough people start entering I'll think about other options.
Would love you to submit something. The idea is to have a new challenge every week, they won't be related in any way from one week to the next.
I'll tweak the wording on the page to make this a bit clearer (just to be clear, this is in no way affiliated with freecycle, just thought it would make a good task). Thanks for the feedback!
Love your site - it's beautiful.
So many questions, lol. Your concept is great, but I'd like to find users to come in for in-person testing.
Would you be up for a chat offline? I'd be fascinated to find out more about you and how you started. Thanks
That is pretty much exactly what I was envisioning! Thanks for sharing.
Did you reference my site by any chance? https://www.designerlynx.co/ Some similar design patterns...Looks good though, some useful stuff!
It's super useful, even as a refresh. Keep doing what you're doing man, you're such a G ❤️
Also, this site is a great thing https://lawsofux.com/
I have no idea whether this is coincidence or not, but the list of resources looks remarkably similar to my site https://www.designerlynx.co/ui-inspiration
I like it though!
Thanks for taking the time to feedback, really appreciate it. Some good advice throughout this thread - I'm not going to dismiss the idea entirely but I think for it to useful it needs to be as lightweight and stripped back as possible.
Someone nailed it further down, if you could make a plugin that quickly:
exports artboards from sketch Generate a link Integrate into slack
That would be great - no need to sign up /register or deal with any further additional functionality, far more disposable then a full app.
Maybe make it free or charge a small one off cost...some good food for thought!

Will add a more fleshed out terms and conditions this week, good suggestion. That is my exact plan, the more people that enter the bigger pot, minus the cost of hosting etc. $3 feels relatively cheap for me (less than a coffee), but this is totally relative to everyone I guess. Thanks for the feedback!
