I'm super excited to finally be launching Layers on Product Hunt! 🚀
Layers started out as a passion project of mine after seeing so many designers dissatisfied with existing design platforms. Realising that I too had given up on these platforms I decided to build my own. It's a dream working on Layers and I've already made so many meaningful relationships that I already consider it a success. But if I was to have a goal for Layers, it would be for the members to own it and the code to be open-source (or at least open to the members). A community platform truly owned by the community I feel has much higher chance of thriving than one that isn't.
We've been in private beta for a while and since then we've:
🌎 Grown the community to over 20k members.
⛴️ Shipped a tonne of features like: attachments, scheduling, analytics, teams, messaging and more.
🚀 Launched a premium subscription called Layers Plus!
🎧 Started a podcast called Overlay!
💬 Grown an active Discord server.
To celebrate our PH launch, you can grab 30% off the Layers Plus annual plan, using the code PHLAUNCH30. This deal will be available for a limited time only so make the most of it 😄
A huge thanks to the whole Layers community ❤️

@liampmccabe love this 🙌🏻

I'm not a designer myself but I still want to check it out :)
Congrats on the launch and on building a thriving community!
@liampmccabe This is incredible! Congrats on the successful launch! 🙌🏼 Curious, what would you say is or was the biggest challenge you encountered on this?
Congrats on the launch @liampmccabe 🙌
It's been fascinating watching you build and iterate on this in public.
Q: Growing to 20k users is impressive. How did getting your first 1,000 differ from your last 1,000?
@ryangilbert@liampmccabe is that to say a lot of it has been word of mouth up til now? Congrats - I feel like this is the type of product so many people dream of building but it really hard to execute on :) well done
I've been lucky to use Layers since it's inception and @liampmccabe has built a fantastic platform. Since Dribbble and the rebranding of our favourite bird site, there's been a real need for a great social design platform – and Liam's built it ❤️ His passion and talent for design is remarkable!
Layers is a beautiful place to share your portfolio, gain feedback and motivate others as well as getting inspiration for new ideas. And that's just the start with Teams, Job board and a new Color palette feature. Congratulations on the launch Liam, so well deserved 🥳🎊
Congratulations on the launch, @liampmccabe 🥳 It's been amazing to see the journey of Layers over the past couple of months, and the progress made. It's a beautifully simple UI, with contributions from amazing designers, developers and more. I am looking forward to continuing to be part of the community 💪
A place where you can stack up thoughts, inspiration, and creativity effortlessly. Layers.to offer a seamless environment for organizing layers of ideas 💡
Congrats on the launch, Liam! 🎉 You've been working hard on this, and I witnessed how many wonderful features you implemented inside the app without causing clutter. A new home for designers, indeed!
Congrats on the launch @liampmccabe! Even today is a special day both for us lol, but I would love to say really happy to see Layers is on Product Hunt.
As a designer who spent nearly a decade on the design platform I think the torch has been handed over from dribbble to the hands of Layers. I believe everyone misses the days at dribbble. At the same time, dribbble has also witnessed the growth of many designers, even if it begins to decline. But at the same time, I am very happy that the emergence of Layers has given designers a better platform to showcase their works. Layers is worth it. Today is a special day! Congrats!
Congratulations @liampmccabe! Awesome to see layers on ProductHunt. Amazing to see the success of Layers so far, I know it's only going to continue growing. 🙌
Layers gave a new life to the community of designers who are searching for the best quality work. Currently it's one of the best spaces on the internet to connect with product designers who are passionate about their craft.
Congratulations on the launch of Layers! As a designer myself, I'm thrilled to see a platform built by designers, for designers. Thank you for creating such a valuable resource!
