Contra Turns 5: The Next Frontier marked an important milestone
I joined Contra 3 years ago, and it has become an important part of how I present and grow my work.
Congratulations to @Ben Huffman and @Gajus Kuizinas and the entire Contra team on 5 years of building Contra.
With new features launching and the Max account tier coming soon, it’s clear the platform continues to evolve in the right direction.
Proud to be part of it. Excited for what’s next... especially the iOS app.
Amazing Work
I'm in this photo lol
Haha, I saw you there… which feature are you most excited about so far?
Definitely the new product catalogue! What about you?
Definitely the macOS native app. I saw Gajus mention it in the comments... would love to get early access.
Can’t wait to see what’s coming next 😍
Same here 😁
just got here and so happy i found it!
Welcome! I migrated here from another platform that started taking up to 50% of earnings for contests. In one case, a single project fee alone was equivalent to an entire annual Contra Max subscription! Without analytics or any of the tools that truly matter to us as independent...
yes im thinking of getting off stan store! does @Contra HQ do ok with mobile optimization/ conversion in general? i hadn't thought of that.
5 years of Contra is a big deal. It has genuinely changed how so many freelancers present and get paid for their work. The new product catalogue feature sounds like another solid step forward. Congrats to the whole team!
Absolutely, Steph! After moving from high-fee platforms, Contra has been a completely different experience. The growth has been impressive, and it's becoming an infrastructure for independent creatives.
Wow
Good job
Congrats man. Would like to see your case study how did you build a successful business on contra. I'm on contra more than 3 years but zero clients unfortunately. Maybe your tips help me to secure a client

Industiq needed to move beyond the "Classic SaaS" mold. 🛠️⚡️
When they approached me for their website redesign, the mission was clear: break away from the standard approach of showing static platform screens in a digital void.
I helped them bridge that gap by focusing on demonstrating the product in use.
My Design Approach
👉 Rather than staying stuck in the "dashboard view," the new design centers on real-world outcomes. It visualizes how the platform solves production bottlenecks and provides instant technical guidance exactly where the work happens.
👉 I paired a dynamic visual flow with high-visibility typography to ensure that the most critical information is always front and center for the user.
Good work
