Hi everyone!
Yes - this is *another* tool aggregator. But this one's a little different ...
For Webflow's first ever internal "Hack Day" a couple of us wanted to build something that we thought would add value to the community, but also push the boundaries of not having a developer involved. We also had the time constraint of designing, building, uploading and ultimately launching this site in less than 24 hours - which we succeeded in doing!
Neither myself or @JohnAMWill are developers. In fact, we speak “code” just slightly better than we speak Spanish. Which is to say, ish. We’re just a designer and a content strategist who wanted to build something cool for the community. Something cool that, normally, we’d definitely need to hire a developer for.
In San Francisco’s current tech climate, hiring a dev would’ve added ~$150 an hour (at least) to our budget … of exactly $0.
So instead, we used Webflow.
Also, this tool aggregator’s all about you. We’ve seen all kinds of sites that collect and categorize tools, but we wanted our site to focus on you, your profession, and the tools you use. That’s why we ask who you are first thing. And why we can’t wait to get your submissions.
We'll keep adding new tools—and you should too.
