I'm super excited to finally be launching Layers on Product Hunt! 🚀 Layers started out as a passion project of mine after seeing so many designers dissatisfied with existing design platforms. Realising that I too had given up on these platforms I decided to build my own. It's a dream working on Layers and I've already made so many meaningful relationships that I already consider it a success. But if I was to have a goal for Layers, it would be for the members to own it and the code to be open-source (or at least open to the members). A community platform truly owned by the community I feel has much higher chance of thriving than one that isn't. We've been in private beta for a while and since then we've: 🌎 Grown the community to over 20k members. ⛴️ Shipped a tonne of features like: attachments, scheduling, analytics, teams, messaging and more. 🚀 Launched a premium subscription called Layers Plus! 🎧 Started a podcast called Overlay! 💬 Grown an active Discord server. To celebrate our PH launch, you can grab 30% off the Layers Plus annual plan, using the code PHLAUNCH30. This deal will be available for a limited time only so make the most of it 😄 A huge thanks to the whole Layers community ❤️ Liam

@liampmccabe That's a great suggestion! I wonder how Layers supports collaboration among designers - do they offer any specific features for sharing feedback or working on projects together? It would be interesting to explore how this platform fosters a sense of community and creativity among its users. Looking forward to discovering more about Layers! Congratulations on your launch and UpVoted..

Congrats on the launch @liampmccabe 🙌 It's been fascinating watching you build and iterate on this in public. Q: Growing to 20k users is impressive. How did getting your first 1,000 differ from your last 1,000?

Thanks @ryangilbert! Not much really, I've only recently started investing in X ads, sending emails out etc

I love the overall design of this product! It looks like another Dribbble? What are the advantages of Layers?

@bonvisions I think the advantage is that it is not Dribbble. XD

I've been lucky to use Layers since it's inception and @liampmccabe has built a fantastic platform. Since Dribbble and the rebranding of our favourite bird site, there's been a real need for a great social design platform – and Liam's built it ❤️ His passion and talent for design is remarkable! Layers is a beautiful place to share your portfolio, gain feedback and motivate others as well as getting inspiration for new ideas. And that's just the start with Teams, Job board and a new Color palette feature. Congratulations on the launch Liam, so well deserved 🥳🎊

Hi Liam, congratulations on the launch of Layers! It's impressive to see how much the platform has evolved during the private beta, and the focus on community ownership is truly inspiring. The integration of features like messaging and analytics must be a game-changer for designers. I'm curious, how has the feedback from the early community shaped the development of Layers? Looking forward to seeing how it grows and evolves with the community's input! Cheers to a successful launch!
