🥳 Projects

TwoxFootball - Created by Jakub Kliszczak. "It's a twice-a-week newsletter with all things football. News, transfer rumours, game previews, scores, you name it. I highly appreciate any feedback (regarding both the landing page and newsletter) as at this stage of development it matters a lot."

WorkMods - Created by Filip Andonov. "Workmods is an optimizing workflow courses platform. I've created the website in Webflow and know the next step would be to connect it with Outseta or Memberstack. Would love to get some feedback"

Akses Hub - Created by Chavez Procope. "It's a place for people in St Kitts to get easy access to people that can provide them a service. The secondary purpose is to help create exposure for the freelancers through social media posts and Facebook ads."

Merrative - Created by Harshala Chavan. "I thought of building a new network that connects you with people who have exactly read the same book/article as you so that we can have an awesome discussion around it. We also facilitate meetups wherein small groups can come together and discuss particular books & articles that they have read, together."

The Affiliate Database - Created by Daniel Kempe. "I hope to put together a curated list of the highest paying affiliate programs in one place. To save some time, I've started with a template in Webflow and made it my own. Would love to get some early feedback."
