@mishkadoing Congrats on the launch Mike and team! Very intuitive product designer. I'm coincidentally working on ezML, a computer vision integration platform for apps like yours. Would you be interested in computer vision integration for Refero? I think we could enahnce your feature sets in a collaboration.
@sean_dorje Hey Sean! Thanks for the congrats. Your project sounds intriguing. Computer vision could open up some exciting avenues for us. Let's definitely chat about collaboration
Really cool idea! As a designer, I constantly want to run benchmarks and it takes ages to create accounts, get some data in etc. This is going to be super useful.
@mishkadoing I really love the app design. Super clean but also useful (the filter "web vs apps" is great). And the ability to click on an app name to see all the screens from this app is really cool too. Overall the navigation is top notch! Well done!
@asby Hey! On one hand, we emphasize using Refero primarily for inspiration only rather than directly copying designs. But on the other hand, we recognize the potential time-saving benefits of integrating directly with Figma. It's something we're definitely considering. Thanks for the suggestion!
This looks amazing! Congrats with a launch! I clearly remember how many times I was thinking "hm, what UI-pattern for this feature does Google/Figma/Miro use". This could save a lot of time for that kind of research 🔥
Congrats on the launch! We've been using mobbin for a while in our agency. It's super valuable, especially the screens you see after a checkout or after signing up for something more complex. These screens needed for every product that has a checkout but you won't find them on dribbble.
Can't wait to try refero and see how it compares!
Hi! Nice idea and product! I wish you a good luck! As a feedback: pls add some call-to-action button in the block with the websites, because scrolling is too long and you start be nervous about "Where are you", trying to scroll to the end of this block but it's constantly scrolls more and more
@anna_kasumova Thank you for your kind words and feedback! Adding call-to-action buttons is a great suggestion. We'll definitely take that into consideration
Love the filter functionality the most -- very helpful and easy to navigate and be inspired! Appreciate the tool; some great UI references from crazy websites!
Finally I would not have to spend hours looking at 100 different websites to get design ideas for a new product. Cheers @mishkadoing
Will this be updated for each website design as and when the actual product is updated? Also, how do I request my products for a listing on the platform?
@ricardo_luz Hey Ricardo! Thanks for the kind words. Gathering this collection was a year-long journey, done manually with a lot of dedication. But we're now playing with AI to streamline and enhance the process. As for how Refero make designers lives easier: it centralizes a research. Instead of scouring multiple platforms, sites, apps, designers can find real-world references all in one spot, tagged and categorized for easy discovery
This is such an awesome tool! The vast library of designs is going to be super helpful for a developer like me who hacks pet-projects, but doesn't have sense of design. Thanks for the launch!
Using this app for a while. Love its UX and interactions because it’s super fast and seamless. You guys are doing a great job for the design industry❤️
@sergeypotikhanov Thank you for your kind words! We're continuously working to enhance our tool. Our future plans include expanding our collection and the integration of some ai tools for more detailed and accurate search results. Stay tuned for exciting updates
Great product Mike. Been using refero for design inspiration and subscribed recently. Loved every bit of it. Just one thing which i would love to have is featuring android apps too. bonus add on would be having style guide related info too. Im loving refero, especially the way you handle the issues swiftly is commendable. Awesome product ♥️
