I use dribbble.com and I look at related sites in the same niche for inspiration. Sometimes I also checkout pinterest.com. Thank you

In addition to already mentioned sources like Pinterest, Dribbble, and Behance, I find inspiration in projects that have already been executed😉
Great repositories of such work can be found in curated catalogs like https://www.awwwards.com/websites/ and https://www.curated.design/

Wow I love everyones answer on this. I personally try to get inspired by anything that is visually appealing to me, as I am handling our products UI/UX I sometimes look ad appealing food plates from social media and try to get inspired by colors and shapes.
Dribble, competitors, other website and apps I use. I oftwn take screenshots of features and visials I like.

The best (and most typical) answer from a designer... "IT DEPENDS" 🤣
For interface design -- I play around with lots of products, and see how the thing works, feels, and looks.
For aesthetics -- I notice what brands standout from the crowd, their visual language, and what emotions it elicits.
For biz ideas -- I consume a lot of content, but mainly its focused on the problems I face, that would be a no-brainer to solve for me and others like me.
For ideas in general -- it's usually during some down time, shower, bike ride, somewhere away from the desk, or some mindless activities like washing the dishes.
How do you get inspired?
I usually google 'top ____ designs' or 'inspirational _____ designs.' Then just go through and find ones that are inspiring.
Recently, I found this website and love it. https://maxibestof.one/
One unique point of them is they focus on the typeface.
I browse Product Hunt products only for design inspiration

Behance, Dribbble, Pinterest are dead platforms for design inspiration, there are so many fake non-logical designs. Recently I am connecting with a lot of top-notch designers where I am following their work.
I follow real products how they are designing via: Mobbin.com or Landingfolio.com

Whenever I'm talking to designers, I make boards on Pinterest to help them see what I'm picturing in my head. I found that it helps them a lot.

Design inspiration is everywhere! One of my favorite go-to resources is Pinterest. It's a visual smorgasbord of design inspiration, with endless boards and pins to spark your creativity.

@antonikozelski Same mate! It's like a bottomless pit of creativity and ideas just waiting to be discovered. Whether you're looking for sleek modern designs or vintage classics, Pinterest has it all. Just be warned, once you start scrolling, it's hard to stop! 💪🎨

I use Dibbble, Pinterest and Google Image Search a lot because it's easy to find what you're looking for. But then there are other sites like TailwindUI (i use TailwindCSS a lot), One Page Love, Landbook... where you have a collection of nice things, but have to put a little bit more work in if you want to find something specific.
