🤖 Member Projects

Helping Creatives created by Sara. "I noticed a ton of new communities over the last few months and lots of questions from people on how to find communities. I was struggling keep up with all of them and couldn’t find an easy way to search. So why not build what I needed? A space to celebrate and support stand alone communities, like Makerpad! It needed to be simple, high level and searchable. I also needed a way to allow for corrections and new submissions. I started with No Code communities and expanding to: Design, Podcasting, Writing, Photography, Cinema & Art in 2021. More filtering and searching to be added as it grows and expands! The tools I used were Figma, Webflow & finsweet CMS search & filters and Airtable. Automation in Zapier will be coming soon!"

The Year Showcased - Webflow created by Gustavo. "We’ve just put together a year-in-review for the Webflow Showcased. Top creators, top projects and most used keywords. We hope you find it useful."

How to create and automate a portfolio showcase in Webflow create by Connor Finlayson. "I made a new video breaking down how I built the portfolio gallery for my freelancer marketplace. I go over: How users can add case studies to their profile, how the Webflow CMS is structured, how the Airtable and Zapier Workflow works, why and how I use Parabola to add gallery images."
