The best UX research happens on social media, not always in UX tools.
Reddit threads, app store reviews, YouTube comments. That's where users say what they actually think, unfiltered.

Yesterday, I tried Reddit to promote my framer templates, and it didn't go the way I expected.
As a new user, I ran into a ton of issues.
First, I updated my profile. After leaving my first few comments, my profile picture, bio, and links were all wiped.
When I tried to upload them again, I just got a server error.
What's funny is that I wasn't even promoting my own templates. I was replying to people asking how to build a website, recommending Framer and mentioning that using a template is a good option if they don't want to start from scratch.
Some of my comments were removed because "my account was only 14 days old". So I guess the first lesson is to create an account and let it age before you do anything.
I also made a post asking where people promote their templates. Deleted.
Then I looked through the framer subreddit and saw plenty of people posting about their marketplace rankings or sharing new templates. I made a similar post about mine, and it was removed instantly.
That part was especially confusing.
I get that Reddit wants to fight bots and spam, but it feels extreme when a genuine new user can't participate at all for the first couple of weeks.
I'll come back in two weeks and see if things improve. Right now though, it was mostly confusion and frustration.
I wouldn't recommend Reddit as a marketing channel if you're starting from a brand-new account.
The biggest question is, how are we supposed to promote our work when almost anything that looks like promotion/recommodation gets removed?
This is amazing
Most e-commerce dashboards show you the data. This one helps you act on it.
KPI summary, insights and performance, QC tracking, order status, and an AI search bar all on one warm, structured screen. Every number compared to last month. Every at-risk timeline flagged before it becomes a problem.
Cream surface. Dark brown accents. Built for the seller who needs to stay ahead of the day.
Does this feel like a dashboard your ops team would actually open first? 👇
