Totally impressed! Being an engineering tutor, I am thinking about incorporating it in our project-based learning workshops. Anything would you like to suggestion?
@naveed_rehman This is amazing, I think it helps thinking through problems more in-depth rather than coming up with a solution immediatelly
@thalion_pb Thanks man! Indeed, perfect for practice and I even tested it myself when transitioning to an industry I know nothing about.
Everything Denislav does is high quality so I cannot wait to check this out :D. Legend in the design space. Do you think this could get someone totally new up to speed on design or is it for more experienced folks ???
@clay_raterman Definetly goal is new people to help them build better case studies, but experienced people can also use it on the harder problems
Really incredible work @denislav_gavrailov! Congrats on the launch, keen to share this with a few people learning design 🤗
Challenges like this encourage the designer to consider the entire user experience and how all the pieces connect. I've written about why the daily UI challenge isn't as effective (https://medium.com/user-experien...) because it only has new designers considering one piece, not how it all works as a holistic experience. This is definitely something I'll be recommending!
@dan_sapio Indeed, the daily UI challenge is good, but it locks you into one vertical. Which is not bad if that's the only thing you want to improve, but in order to design effective software you need to think holistically about every aspect of design.
When I woke up this morning. Literally had the thought of how can I create design challenges to show off, got your notification 📣 and was like…. “Is my government worker listening to me again”?
This is great! Every designer with the low experience need to practice design, challenges like this are great place to start. Great work Dude
Congratulations on your product launch! It's fantastic to see such an innovative approach to tackling real-world challenges in health, travel, and transportation. Can't wait to see the positive impact this will bring! 🚀🌟
UILearn Design Challenges caught my eye! Solving actual problems in health, travel, and transportation is a brilliant approach to building a portfolio. Can you provide more details on how participants can engage with these challenges and showcase their solutions? Upvoted and looking forward to taking on meaningful design projects!
This is so cool! Can't wait to share with with a good friend of mine that's just began his journey as a UX designer! I think he'll be really thrilled to get some actual work done after taking so many courses
@eduard_mario_popescu thanks man! I am curious what people will make as well
Dope collection of challenges! Is there a way to share your creations as well?
This looks great. Well impressed with the site.
Two thoughts:
1. Minor UX point: your first sub-catagory on the site is 'Automotive', but this category has no results. I guess you might want to consider conditional rendering of sub-categories only if they have challenges within them
2. GDPR compliance: when you ask for name & email to gain access, I presume you're signing me up to a mailing list? If so, to comply with GDPR in Europe you must tell me this is the case, otherwise you could be opening yourself up to a whopping legal bill. V simple change and I would have signed up anyway :)
Hope that's helpful feedback. It looks awesome and I'm really excited to see how you get on!
@james_kuht thanks for the feedback, the automotive must be a bug need to investigate it. As for GDPR, everybody receives an email asking if they want to be subscribed to the mailing list as its double opt in
@denislav_jeliazkov no problem at all, great product.
Re: GDPR - GDPR states that you must be specific in informing users they're signing up for a mailing list (this wasn't the case - you just asked for my name and email, there was no mention of mailing list nor opportunity to opt out - which is mandatory in EU). I also didn't receive your email asking if I wanted to be subscribed. More here: https://www.iubenda.com/en/help/....
Ultimately I personally don't mind at all - I'm just trying to help :)
Finally, I found something which is the need of mine. Redesigning is good but creating something new and solving real world problems is amazing. Great work and congrats on the launch!
This is so cool! I love how you are not only proposing real-world problems to solve but also providing insight into their solution discovery. Is there a way to share your solution with others or check how others solved the same challenge? It might be interesting to provide some templates that designers could use to present their solutions in the most compelling/effective way :) Good luck!
@dalma_szabo yes there is! People can submit them after they picked it, and I want to feature them all
Congrats with the launch @denislav_jeliazkov ! Definitely a must try for all Product designers!
Congrats on the launch @denislav_jeliazkov , I'll recommend this to my students 🎉👏
Incredible initiative! I really appreciate the spirit of this project as it offers designers a practical opportunity to get hands-on experience and create valuable design projects for their portfolios, especially when they don't have much to showcase yet. I'm particularly intrigued to see how this could evolve into something even bigger: a community learning experience, where people from various fields collaborate on the same challenges — just like in real life. The potential for leveling up is immense. Excited to see where this leads! Congrats @denislav_jeliazkov
@yanel_bottini I couldn't have said it any better. Goal is to help everybody at any level do more real work
@denislav_jeliazkov
Your platform is like the ultimate training ground for newbie designers! 🚀 Love how it throws real challenges their way, turning skills into perfection.
Quick one: Any standout success stories from designers who've leveled up using your platform?
@aashish_peepra Thanks for this. In fact we do have series on our blog called Success stories and will be adding much more to them. https://uilearn.com/category/stu...
