I’ve always been vocal about the need for a community for designers, developers, and other creatives.
Waiting for a day we’d have a place to call home…
That day has arrived. @Ben Huffman reached out in April after seeing my tweet about wanting a design community. He and the Contra team welcomed me to share my vision of what a community could be. I designed what my “perfect” setup would look like, and six months later, here we are.
Huge thanks to everyone at Contra, who worked tirelessly to turn this dream into reality.
Creatives & freelancers now have a home...
And it’s called Contra ✨
This is epic @Morten Korshavn
Thank you so much for making it happen! I know it's not something that you just spin up.
And make sure that all the hard workers at Contra get their praise 👏👏👏
So freaking cool @Morten Korshavn !! Thank you for helping us bring community back at Contra ❤️🔥
No problem! I'm just happy that the Contra team took it serious and went with it.
Can't wait to see all the cool stuff you and other creatives will post here🎉
So awesome! I can't wait to see what this becomes.
Same! Really looking forward seeing all the cool posts from various creators on here! Probably gonna learn some new cool thing every single day logging in! ✨
One small step... 🏔️🐐
