I know what you're thinking... Another effing Stack,Collection/Resource site. I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's any different but we do pride ourselves on being just for Designers & Creatives with content and quality in mind.
Along with Resources to help with productivity and the standard chrome extensions that claim to change your life ( some do ) We've focussed more on aspects designers might be find useful like Help with Public Speaking, CV and Interview Tips, God-Like Designers to follow and ways to invoice and get paid your worth along with many more personal aspects that Freelance Designers will find helpful.
Shoutout to @Chipmunktheme for the Awesome theme and to everyone at PH who could make this Hunt possible today.
If we can just help or improve the work ethics, techniques or even mindset of just a handful of designers, then we've done what we've set out to do.
Stay Classy,
@graphicartwork@chipmunktheme Thanks Jake for the shoutout! Even though we've seen similar products launched already, I think this one will definitely be useful to designers & creatives looking to upgrade their workflows with new tools. cc @janwennesland
PS. In case anyone's interested, the theme is still available for purchase here: http://chipmunktheme.com
Sorry, but i hardly trust these "free resources" site anymore because either the art that i want isn't available in the library or they charge for the assets that i personally want. Hence, the story is always partial free assets.
On the other note, I really appreciate your work and effort for this project. I am pretty sure that this will be a hit for other developers.
Might I suggest something?
Try to have a conversation with your customers, both paid as well as free (because free will become paid one day depending upon the attitude of company against them) and ask them about their specific needs. Assist them to navigate to the proper search keywords and if it isn't available then try make one.
Thanks
@just_manpreet I know what you mean, offer one thing, mean the other. I've tried to keep all resources on freestack FREE or offering a free version and not just a trial for a limited time only, there may be tools that the community feel will benefit other creatives that do cost but I try not to push them in any way but only to try the free version then make their own decisions.
I can see why some websites do push for the paid versions as it's a nice cash flow and after paying for website hosting, security, development ( if you're not a developer ) it's nice to get something back for the website.
Appreciate your comments thou Manpreet, only way to develop and grow!
super sorry to anyone that had errors over the weekend! We had a sneaky pirate fire some DDOS at us from a far away island (not saying whom) but all should be ok now! Let us know if you have any further issues.

Great job @graphicartwork and @piotrkulpinski :) I think it would be helpful to add a section for UX and analytics as well, including tools like Inapptics, Mixpanel, UXCam, Heap and others.
@tigranhakobian@piotrkulpinski Awesome idea, I'll get it added so you can submit anything useful you come across! I've built the collections on a personal what I use basis which I realize I will be missing some pretty key resources so we appreciate the suggestions!

@designhuntuk Site not working.... You should fix your Wordpress bugs:
Warning: Illegal string offset 'location' in /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data01/75/3675775/html/wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/core/class-itsec-setup.php on line 374
@thisdickie maybe I'm not a designer, but at the first glance amount of resources is pretty humble. Do you plan to add a lot of items later?
As for now, I still find curated lists on GitHub (f.e. awesome-design) a better source for me.
@vladholubiev
It's a fair comment, There's an option to submit your own resources you find so i didn't want to overcrowd at such an early point or else users can get overwhelmed quickly. I plan to add and curate daily to keep it fresh with the possibility of dropping some resources if i find duplicates or similar sites.
The site was created for more of a refined list rather than a 'as many as you can get' type thing but also wanted to see what other designers use rather than all of my personal favourites, it started off as a personal space for myself to keep resources/tools but now it's everyone's.
Appreciate your comments Vlad!

I wonder when someone will make a curated list of tools for BackEnd Developers.....
