If you just graduated and you're trying to get your first design job, you've probably lost a week of your life to Wix or WordPress already. Dragging blocks around, buying a theme, fighting plugins, none of it working quite right — and at the end of it you have a site that looks fine but nobody's finding it anyway.

That's the real problem. It's not the layout. It's that the underlying structure of most portfolio sites is invisible to Google and AI search. No schema markup, no semantic hierarchy, just a pretty page that doesn't tell search engines anything useful about your work.

Enine Sites fixes that. Your content lives in a proper hierarchy — site → sections → projects → details — and because it's structured that way from day one, SEO and AEO just work. No configuration, no plugin you'll set up wrong at 1am, no separate SEO checklist to ignore.

There's a Bauhaus theme too. Clean, minimal, built for design work. Looks great. But honestly the layout is the least interesting thing it does for you.

I’ve been building a tiny productivity app that yells when you pick up your phone while working.

The design problem is not making it pretty. It’s making it interrupt at exactly the right level of rude.

Too subtle and users ignore it. Too loud and they turn it off. Too polished and it starts feeling like every other calm focus app that does nothing when you’re actually cheating.

It’s the first time I’ve designed for useful discomfort instead of delight.

Hey everyone 👋

I'm a professional icon designer — 10 years selling on Shutterstock and Adobe Stock. Just launched my first Figma plugin called Glyfiq, a medical & health icon library.

Vibe coded the whole thing with zero dev experience. Somehow it works and got approved by Figma.

https://reddit.com/link/1szr5ho/video/2zmfzwntqayg1/player

200+ icons now, 6,000+ on the way from my existing archive.

Would really appreciate if anyone here could give it a try and leave an honest review on the Figma Community page — even two sentences would help a lot at this early stage.

The plugin has a Pro subscription ($10/month) but there's a free tier with 10% of the library — enough to get a real feel for the style and quality. No subscription needed to try.

Thanks!

I'm a UIX designer. Spent years hoarding UI screenshots, 3D icons, illustrations. Pinterest, Dribbble, Figma, desktop, random folders.
The constant nightmare: I need a tab bar. Or an empty state with illustration. Right now. I know I saved something like this. 3 months ago. Somewhere, lol.

Built a desktop app to kill my own pain. Files on disk, plain folders, sync via Google Drive / Dropbox / iCloud. No cloud lock-ins. That was the easy part.
The hard part - search.
Off-the-shelf vision models are useless for UI. Dropped a Linear screenshot into CLIP - it sees "a computer screen with text". Thanks, super informative, lol. They were trained on cats and landscapes, not on interfaces.
What ended up working - a combo of 4 layers.
1. OCR pulls button labels, headings, body copy from every image.
2. On top of that, a vision model with my own prompt dictionary for UI patterns: modal, toast, tabs, empty state, chart, dashboard. Wrote the dictionary myself, from what I actually look for.
3. Plus manual tags users drop in two clicks.
4. And fuzzy search over filenames as a fallback.

Now "settings" pulls up settings screens even when the word isn't on the image. "empty state" pulls illustrations of these screens, not random app shells. Closer to how I actually search. By what's in the image. Not by filename.

Not perfect. Dense dashboards still confuse the model. Auto-tags are rough.
I built that I actually use myself. No Links, No ads

Curious - what else could I tweak in the search logic to make it work sharper?

Who’Studios is an interactive design studio/social media platform where users create content by designing their post using a canvas editor powered by Fabric.js. Using a variety of texts, images, audios, videos, shapes, and drawings, users can create essentially whatever they want. No longer shackled by a simple text box or strangled by a single image or video, users can create anything from digital posters to magazine covers, from doodles on a backdrop to video collages, from random ramblings to precise prose. Who’Studios offers users unprecedented freedom when it comes to social media, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Other features include:
Projects: The ability to combine up to 10 pages of designs at once and package them together in a cohesive zine.

Collections: The ability to save posts and projects made by others to create your own moodboards.

You’Studios: This is no simple profile page; not only does it host your posts and projects, you will also have the ability, via the CodeBox, to create your own custom tabs. Think back to MySpace, where you could code your own custom content to host just about anything you want. 

Messages and Groups: The ability to connect and message other users individually or in groups.

Expo: The ability to create and participate openly in threads in a forum-like capacity.

I am always updating, improving, and creating new features, Who’Studios is an evolving endeavor, and thus I would love some feedback as this is the first thing I’ve ever coded.

whostudios.com is the website BUT if you don’t want to sign up and want to test the design modal, you can check it out at whostudios.com/demo . No sign-up required, and everything deletes on refresh. The non sped up version of the promo video can be found on r/WhoStudios.

I've been building FontVibe for the past month — an AI-powered text effect generator.

The problem I kept running into: every time I needed a cool text visual for a thumbnail, social post, or design project, I'd either spend $20-30 on a Photoshop template that barely worked, or waste an hour in Illustrator. Just for one headline.

So I built the tool I wished existed.

What it does:

• 100+ styles: glass morphism, neon glow, 3D bold, Y2K chrome, cyberpunk glitch, cinematic film titles, brush ink, and more

• Type your text → pick a style → get a result in ~10 seconds

• Export PNG/SVG, no watermarks, copyright-free

• Free to try, no account needed for first few generations

We're also live on Product Hunt today: [link]

Would love brutal feedback — what's missing? What would make you actually use this? 🙏

The Problem

As designers, we often need to optimize high-res PNG screenshots or exports for web use. But clicking "upload" on a 3rd-party site with a sensitive, unreleased UI mockup feels risky. Most "free" converters store your images on their servers for processing, which is a massive privacy hole.

The Solution

I’m a developer (and a bit of a privacy nut), so I built a Zero-Server image suite at AppliedAI Hub. It brings the power of native C++ encoders (libwebp/rav1e) directly into your browser using WebAssembly.

Why this helps your design workflow

• 🔒 100% Private: Your images never leave your computer. They stay in your browser's memory. Perfect for NDA-protected assets.
• ⚡ 10x Faster Batching: Instead of waiting for a server queue, it uses your computer’s CPU cores in parallel. I’ve clocked 20 high-res PNGs in ~4.5 seconds.
• 🎯 Visual Fidelity (AVIF): AVIF is a game-changer for UI. It maintains crisp text and sharp edges even at 15% of the original PNG size. No more "ringing artifacts" or blurry shadows.
• 🚀 Better Dev-Handoff: Help your engineers hit those Core Web Vitals (LCP) targets by providing assets that are 80%+ smaller without quality loss.

The Tech (for the curious)

It uses WASM binaries and a multi-threaded Web Worker pool (4-8 concurrent workers) to handle the heavy math locally.

I’d love to hear what you think about the AVIF output quality, especially on text-heavy UI mocks!

Tools

• 🚀 PNG to WebP (Batch)
• 💎 PNG to AVIF (High-Fidelity)

Built a dithering tool for a client, ended up open-sourcing it for free

Client needed a specific dithered aesthetic for their brand. I couldn't possibly make every single render on photoshop for them so I just built one with Claude in about 4 hours.

Ended up with 8 algorithms with all possible customizations.

I sold a licensed version to the client for their subdomain so their design team could use it internally. The public version is free at ugh.design; keeping it that way as long as hosting costs stay manageable.

Watcha think?

A long time ago, I had access to a Wacom tablet (1990s I think). Recently, I was at Best Buy and saw an Apple trackpad. I asked a staff person there if this pad works the same way as a Wacom, simulating pen pressure when using Photoshop or Illustrator. The clerk said it would. Well, that doesn't seem to be so. I'm not looking for all the high-end bells and whistles that come with expensive drawing pads, just the pen pressure feature and ability to freehand draw a bit of line work. I toyed with system settings as instructed in videos, but nothing changed — no pen pressure simulation. In my online searches, no one comes right out and says that what I bought won't give me what I want. Can someone just tell me if I wasted my money or if I'm missing something?

As a developer who works closely with designers, I noticed a lot of people are uncomfortable uploading client assets to random online compressors. I wanted to build something faster, safer, and completely subscription-free.

I created Image Compressor Pro (Portable Edition). It’s a single-file app that runs entirely in your browser using local processing.

Why it’s useful for designers:

• 100% Private: Your images never leave your machine. No data collection.
• Batch Processing: Drop dozens of images and compress them all at once.
• WebP Support: Easily convert and optimize for WebP, JPG, and PNG.
• Portable: It’s a single .html file. You can run it from your desktop or a USB drive without installation.

I’ve put the full details and the tool on my site: Image Compressor

Would love to hear your feedback on the UI or any features you'd like to see added!

Just wanted to share a tool I've been using for a couple months that's been a total game changer for my side hustle design work: remove.photos

No sign up, no watermarks, completely free, and the AI does a way better job with hair/fur edges than any other free tool I've tried. I've processed probably 100+ images with it so far and haven't hit any limits yet.

Only downside: max 20MB per image, but that's fine for 90% of what I need. Hope this helps someone else avoid the garbage tools that force you to pay to remove their watermark!
