Hey, I like it but, but... the detail page is terrible β there's no visual hierarchy:( Let's say I'd like to learn more about this tool β where should I click? I need to spend a minute or so to find the correct CTA...
@graeme_fulton No worries man good work :) - trying to do the same for marketers with Marketing Inspo and got some big plans! So I look up to you a lot haha :) - Keep up the great work and love the medium articles + digests I get :)
@annchichii@sofia_mmarques@graeme_fulton Awesome to hear :) - Yeah I feel you may need to seek extra assistance haha. It's great to do but just very time consuming!
@annchichii@sofia_mmarques@dansiepen haha yeah I think more people would be a great help lol! At the same time, a piece belongs to all people who contributed over the years
@graeme_fulton that's simply AMAZING!
It's fascinating to see how Prototypr grows and brings even more value to the design community. Congrats on the launch! π₯
I really like this new design Graeme - congrats on the launch! The pop-up modals work fast and add to the UX a lot. Also want to shout the promo areas in archives and home - clean! What was the most challenging part of this v3 build?
@robhope Yo! Rob, thanks a lot for your thoughts! Glad it's working fast, it's a next.js app using the WordPress API! Surprisingly, one of the hardest bits was just that 'like' button. The REST API is all cached, so I had to find out to clear it when the like button is pressed π€―..many little things like that - looking forward to sharing some of the code in how-to tutorials some day!
@robhope Cheers man! I think there should be a couple fo your products listed on there too! I will be add creators at some point so people can edit their own products.
@annchichii@sofia_mmarques@yesnoornext wow haha thanks Vincent! It means a lot coming from the best twitter thread platform all around the web! and independent πͺπ½
@sofia_mmarques@yesnoornext@graeme_fulton woohoo! That's awesome to hear and so glad that we are being helpful to you. ππ Feel free to let us know how we can further assist you. :) Thanks so much!πͺ
Hello PH π!
Prototypr 3 is here and a lot has changed.
I began Prototypr around ~2016, and the website was cobbled together pretty quickly. Sofia joined in early 2019 to help, and then it also became side project for @annchichii too who did so much in this redesign and new version!
Some of what's new:
π₯ Profiles
Sign up and create your profile. Check the box β 'Available for hire' if you're looking for work in these challenging times - I'll look at adding something in the future to help!
π¨ Redesign
Yeah just a massive revamp (again thanks Ann)
π¬Post links
Finally, you can submit tools, news and links. No need to email me to add your tool, just post it on.
π Comments, voting
This is possible - the most popular tools will appear in a 'Popular' section soon.
π Faster and stuff
Search is better, the toolbox pages are nicer, the site performs really good too (made with next.js). If you have any questions on the tech, ask and I can go into more detail.

There's probably more stuff, but go and try it out. Big thanks to @dnisttahuz for the amazing promo video! And @thisismariaespi made all the robots.
You have reached the end of my acceptance speech. I hope this new version can help more people, so if there are any changes you want just let me know! Now I carry on making [Letter](https://letter.so)..
@graeme_fulton@sofia_mmarques Awesome work as always and congrats on the launch once again :) Keep up the amazing work. The design community needs Prototypr!
@sofia_mmarques@fredotan Hey Fredo, thanks a lot! And thanks too for being a part of it and making it all possible with the ProtoPie sponsorships along the way!
@sofia_mmarques@annchichii@thalion_pb Thanks Thalion for being about from the early days and publishing with us! πI hope the new platform will be more useful for everyone!
