We once hit #1 Product of the Day with voice interviews. Now we’re back with a complete UX/UI career toolkit. Upload your CV. Get real feedback. Land your next UX/UI job.
In the 9 months since our last launch here, the design job market got even harder. After speaking with more than 60 designers, one pattern became impossible to ignore. Strong skills do not guarantee interviews. People get filtered out at every stage, often without understanding why.
Resume. Portfolio. Recruiter screen. Hiring manager interview. Case study.
One weak point is enough to lose momentum, and usually the only feedback you get is silence.
That is exactly why we built Mockin 2.0.
We turned Mockin into a tool that helps UX/UI and Product Designers see real hiring risks early, fix them before real interviews, and prepare across the full job search funnel based on real expectations from the market.
I’d love for you to try it and tell us what feels strongest, weakest, or still missing.
@egor_krasnoperov congrats on the launch. I’ll share your product with my designer friends 👌☺️
Report
Hi, congrats for your launch. Why did you started with the UI/UX niche. Any user feed back or based on personal evidance ? I used to have a very similar idea but for other roles. UI / UX designers are the hardest role to start with I guess.
There are a few reasons. First, this is where I have the strongest expertise. For the last 9 years, I’ve been involved in hiring designers, interviewing candidates, reviewing portfolios, and also going through hiring processes myself. So I’ve seen this pain from both sides.
Second, UX/UI and Product Designers have a very specific hiring funnel. It’s not only about a resume. It’s also about portfolio quality, case study storytelling, product thinking, visual craft, communication, and interview confidence.
So yes, designers are probably not the easiest niche to start with. But that’s exactly why we started here. A generic career tool doesn’t really understand this process well enough.
a only 'feedback you get is silence' line is the most painful part of the 2026 job market. You can have a world-class portfolio, but if you’re failing at the recruiter screen without knowing why, you’re just spinning your wheels. Excited to see how Mockin identifies those specific hiring risks before they turn into rejections. Support on the launch, @lipkovskiy Egor

@islam_midov looks like we're packed! But we were thinking of the cover letter
Mockin
@islam_midov thanks so much! Almost :)
We’re also considering adding whiteboard interview practice and cover letters next. So stay tuned!
Guys that's great for designers! Will you go to other roles?
Mockin
@and_bayleaf great question! It's on our radar. Just wanted to make sure we did a great job for at least one role
Mockin
Hey @and_bayleaf! Right now, we’re starting with designers so we can fine-tune the flow first. After that, we’ll expand it to other roles as well.
