🤯 App / Landing pages libraries you should know about

Mobbin - Browse and search across hundreds of iOS apps for UI & UX research.

Hey Patterns - Product design patterns in the wild

Landing folio - Source of awesome landing page designs

One page love - One Page website inspiration, templates and resources

🔥 Framer Noob to Pro Youtube Playlist

I am recently launching a framer playlist on youtube, so definitely do check that out.

✅ Best practices before creating pages/elements/flows

A list of best practices you can go through before creating any element (button, avatar, checkbox) or page (blog, sign up, pricing), etc.

🦾 AI Tools to checkout

Microsoft Clarity - Use this to check how people would use your site/app. (Completely Free!)

Diagram - AI powered tool to help you out directly in Figma.

Bing/Bard - If you don’t have a GPT4 license, these are your go to tools.

🎯 Tools to keep on using

Figma - For UX, UI and Web+Mobile Design
As many of your know, I teach Figma, and I think it’s currently the best UX, UI and Design tool out there, and I don’t see an immediate competitor right now.

Webflow - For website/landing page creation
Either go with Webflow, or Framer, no need to go on both. I have worked on Wordpress, Shopify, and a few other platforms as well, and based on the growth of Webflow, and the jobs in the open market, I would highly suggest designers to familiarise themselves with it.

Framer - The new Figma+webflow!
I now think this is a tool you need to get into asap! There’s not a lot of supply right now of designers for framers, so its really a good time to be good at it and make yourself an authority figure in the space.

Eagle - Organize all your reference images in one place
When starting out on a project, download this tool on a free trial and give it a try if you have to collect a bunch of inspirations and generate a moodboard. You’ll be surprised how much of an aid this tool is!

1password - One of the more secure password managers
This is more for professionals and teams. I used to use Lastpass but there was a breach, so I could no longer trust it.

Todoist - Manage your personal tasks
If you want to manage your personal tasks with ease, and keep track of them. Try to read about the The Eisenhower Matrix to optimize your daily tasks a bit better. (feel free to use any other todo tool).
