Now more than ever, focus on creating top 1% quality. There's going to be so much more STUFF … by more people creating, generative AI, etc. that you really don't want to find yourself in the messy middle.

The era of living in the fantasy world of Figma without actually making anything is almost over. • LLM's have commoditized code. • Designers will become the builders. • Non-builders have ~12-18 months left. • Good engineers (that lack taste) will become system

Excited to announce I've been building the simplest way for designers to share their work with the world. Imagine if the portfolio you pay $360/year for had a baby with LinkedIn. It's a professional link-in-bio, for designers. And it will be free forever. I'll be sharing a link

It's absolutely surreal to watch throughout the day as hundreds of designers reserve handles on a waitlist that I've barely even mentioned. I have one more major feature I need to implement, and then I'll start bringing you all on.

Over 600 handle reservations on the waitlist 👀 Got some early feedback for a more seamless onboarding. Should take a week.

Had about 30 extremely influential designers and founders grab handles on Foliooo, so I'm currently polishing the core experience. Going to work on it through Christmas 👍🏻

Phil Chad Barlowe Billy Boozer 🇺🇸/acc Dribbble Andrew Wilkinson Thanks. It's based more around the individual designer's portfolio of work rather than posting shots to compete with others. Launching a landing page tonight with the master plan, then fixing some bugs the rest of the week, then launching to more people next week.

Excited to announce that wagmi. Later this week, Foliooo will be switching to an invite-only system and signups will be closed forever. Thank you everyone for the continuous feedback!

There's a very real opportunity to build exactly what Figma was 3 years ago and capture like 15% of Figma's paying customers with 1% of the overhead.
