Recent is a daily curated index split into eight browsable sections: Design (All, Web, Interface, Branding, Product, Typography, Motion, Illustration, 3D, Editorial, Print, Packaging), Websites (All, AI, Agency, Portfolio, SaaS, Ecommerce, Startup, Product, Technology, Finance, Food & Drink, Music, Art, Photography, Architecture, Health, Education, Entertainment, Web3, Crypto, Editorial, Personal), OG Images, App Store Screenshots, App Icons (grouped by App Store category), Tools, Skills and Jobs. The Skills section is a directory of installable design agent skills with install counts — anthropics/canvas-design, pbakaus/quieter, distill, critique, polish, vercel-labs/web-design-guidelines, emilkowalski/prototype, ibelick/ui-skills and more. Tools carries negotiated deals (Framer, Mobbin, beehiiv, Cal.com), and Jobs lists design and design-engineering roles with salary bands. Around 4,490 subscribers at time of check.

For an agent

Use this as the visual brief stage — pull a direction from /websites filtered to the right vertical (SaaS, AI, Agency), or from /og-images and /app-icons when the deliverable is a single asset rather than a page. Its section pages are server-rendered, so category names and job listings are readable without a browser, but the media grid itself is lazy-loaded and thumbnails will not come through a plain fetch. The /skills directory is the sleeper feature: it indexes installable design agent skills by install count, so check it before writing your own critique or polish prompt.

Why it is here. It is one of the few inspiration galleries that also indexes the working layer — tools, deals, agent skills, and paid design roles — instead of only screenshots, and the curation stays tight and current. The agent-skills directory alone makes it useful to a coding agent, not just to a designer.
