Hey, OP here.<p>My wife got into a daily design challenge in March 2016, and she&#x27;s been doing design practices every week day for the past 4 years.<p>I helped her set up this website to share her work and maybe generate some revenue if all goes well.<p>UIDesignDaily <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uidesigndaily.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uidesigndaily.com</a><p>She uploaded the first 600 designs, currently at day 1059. Hoping to catch up with all the uploads for the official launch.<p>I’ll get back with some stats and numbers about this soft launch if you’re interested.

I&#x27;ve been using uimovement.com for this kind of thing but the more design inspiration the better, IMO. I clicked the Payment tag and only got 4 designs back but only 2 pertained to payments. It would be nice to see more as I&#x27;m sure there are a lot of SaaS companies looking for design inspiration for capturing payments.

Thanks, I&#x27;ll bookmark this.<p>As a programmer with no design skills, I maintain a folder of screenshots from various SaaS apps that I find helpful whenever I need inspiration for layouts, information presentation, multi-step interaction breakdowns, widget use, progressive drilling down, etc..

Awesome work. Applaud the effort of collecting these assets. Small note: when I tried browse and click some color palette the popup sometimes just show up. Don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s intentional but I did not expect that.

I have to say I totally respect her endurance. She is pretty good too.<p>The about page encourages people to get in touch. I did, 20 days ago. Maybe its buried in her spam folder?

A great open-source resource. To be honest I would appreciate if the project would prefer an open-source IM solution like Matrix, IRC or Mattermost.

nice designs, don&#x27;t like the site. modal popups covering content bottom left, signup pop under my mouse when i tried to download, a bunch of icons and I don&#x27;t know what any of they mean except the adobe ones. I clicked download and I was astounded that a download dialog popped up and not a newsletter signup. I guess that&#x27;s coming. obnoxious

This is actually a really good resource! As a (mainly) backend dev that has had to increasingly do more frontend work than I&#x27;d be comfortable with, I have to admit I&#x27;m rather... design-challenged and more often than not I want to look at something someone with a clue has made to get some ideas about what I can&#x2F;should do.

On the license page, the link in &quot;For more information read the Terms of Service.&quot; seems dead to me.<p>Besides that, this looks really nice. Hope it gives some success! Simply as a list of pictures to scroll down and be inspired by it might be really helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations, looking great!<p>One thing, IANAL, but it seems like the license page <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uidesigndaily.com&#x2F;license" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uidesigndaily.com&#x2F;license</a> (linking to &#x27;Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported&#x27;) says that it is okay to:<p>* &quot;Not give credit . . .&quot;<p>* &quot;Distribute, sublicense . . .&quot;<p>Whereas &#x27;Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported&#x27; says:<p>* Must include copyright<p>* That you cannot Sublicense<p>See: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tldrlegal.com&#x2F;license&#x2F;creative-commons-attribution-(cc)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tldrlegal.com&#x2F;license&#x2F;creative-commons-attribution-(...</a><p>As IANAL, I don&#x27;t know how things stand legally when your license page says something, but the License it refers to says something else, but that might be something to look into?<p>Again great job both of you and especially your wife! :-)

I just wanted to give you my first impression as someone who wasted really sure what the title meant. All I knew was that I&#x27;m a programmer that&#x27;s terrible at design I thought this might be useful for me in someway although I wasn&#x27;t sure exactly what this site was.<p>Not knowing what &quot;open-source design&quot; meant, I visited the site and clicked the first design. I ended up on a page asking me to pay $60 for something. I closed to tab. I was really confused. Only after reading the comments here did I realize I must have done something wrong.Then I realized the first &quot;design&quot; isn&#x27;t a design, it was a native ad. It looks like the designs but says ad instead of having a yellow gem. If I had just stumbled across this some other way and had the experience I would have closed the tab and never thought about it again. Sites that trick users into clicking ads are a red flag for me.<p>Ok, so I clicked another design that had a yellow gem. All it did was give me a blown up image of the thumbnail. I still wanted to know what the open source design actually was. I almost clicked something off to the right thinking it would be a preview or something. Before I did though I realized it was another ad. It wasn&#x27;t even labeled though like the one on the main page.<p>The only thing left to do was click &quot;download&quot;. I hovered over it to see what kind of file I was downloading. It didn&#x27;t say since it&#x27;s a button and not a link. So I clicked it. It was a &quot;.sketch&quot; file. Arggh! I knew that sketch was a Mac App and not open source. I don&#x27;t have a Mac and I&#x27;m not using proprietary software unless I absolutely have to.<p>I went the the front page again because I realized that I must have missed something. I didn&#x27;t see that these were sketch downloads. Then I discovered there are multiple formats you could filter by. The front page just happened to have only all Sketch format ones visible at the moment. I guess I was just supposed to know the logo was for Sketch. I assumed the yellow gem meant that it was actually a design and not an ad.<p>I had a hunch that the rest of the formats were proprietary to so I looked them up (by extension since the names of the apps are not mentioned anywhere, not even as title text on the images like they should be for accessibility). Yep, they where. It was at this point I closed the tab for good. My definition of open source is different from yours. If you can&#x27;t open an open source file with open source software or if the file format is proprietary it&#x27;s not open source IMO.<p>I didn&#x27;t mean for that to be such a long rant. I&#x27;m sure your web site will be useful to a lot of other people. It would be nice if the people it&#x27;s not useful for could determine that up front. Not knowing all the product logos, it was pretty much impossible for me to determine what your site was for without wasting time clicking around. You did trick me into clicking an so mention accomplished I guess. Your welcome.
