Post the version

Unfinished work, one specific question, and answers from people who do this for a living. Not the case study. Not the reel. The version you cannot see straight anymore.
Reading is open to everyone. An account is needed only to post work or leave feedback.
Why this exists
Most design feedback is either flattery or a stranger performing taste at you.
- Not flattery
- Not a stranger performing taste
- A named cause, and a next move
Neither moves the file. What moves the file is somebody who has made the same mistake telling you which layer the problem is on, and what they would try instead. That is the only thing this site is built to produce — and every rule here exists to protect it.
How it works
Three rules, and they are the product
- 01
Show the raw file
Mark the stage — sketch, work in progress, near final — so nobody critiques the kerning on a thumbnail. The stage sets the terms before anyone types a word.
- 02
Ask one real question
“Thoughts?” gets you nothing. Every post carries a required asking-for field, pinned above the thread, and it is what critics are told to answer.
- 03
Mark what actually helped
Only the person who asked can mark a critique as the one that moved the work. That single signal ranks the thread and earns a mentor their place in the directory.
Mentorship
Free to join.
You stay listed
by showing up.
Any working designer can apply — no fee, and there never will be one. Approved mentors get a permanent entry in the public directory with a real, followed link to their own site.
The catch is the only fair one we could think of: the listing is paid for in critique. Go 30 days without giving feedback and you get a nudge. Go 45 and the listing — and the link — comes down on its own. Come back, critique something, apply again.
Jobs
Free to post.
Pay stated
on every one.

A board for hiring designers, free for anyone posting: a studio, an agency, a founder, or a designer who needs a second pair of hands for six weeks.
Every posting states what it pays, because a listing that does not costs the reader an email to find out whether it is worth an afternoon. A person reads each one before it appears, every link on it is nofollow, and it comes down by itself after 45 days.
