@Ben Huffman discover-first looks fresh! 👀
@Ben Huffman that’s so neat
@Ben Huffman Seeing what others are creating right away makes Contra feel alive and inspiring
@Ben Huffman I would say it depends on the user.
If you are signing up as a freelancing then the left side focusing on the community.
If you are looking to hire freelancers the right would be better focusing on the work from the community.
@Wyatt Yuen @Ben Huffman Good point!
@Wyatt Yuen @Ben Huffman a brilliant feedback 🧠
@Ben Huffman Highly impressive!
@Ben Huffman I didn't know we can vote now! This is super cool!
@Ben Huffman I didn't even knew yall had this voting mechanism lol.Anyways me personally def prefers the feed first version
@Dulguun Gantulga @Ben Huffman its a sneak preview 👀 we're close to shipping it! let me know if you have any feedback
@Jared Brown @Ben Huffman for sure it will be handy for A/B testing
@Ben Huffman tbh I don't know, sometimes I want to see only visuals, sometimes I want to see what's cooking in general. Maybe we can have a toggle for both views? 😊
@Nikas Geisleris we love a good toggle
@Ben Huffman Voting looks cool :)
@Ben Huffman The community feed looks cool but it pushes content before outcomes, creating decision friction.
The new right layout explains Contra faster: hire or get hired by verified talent, clear CTAs, outcome-driven flow. It feels credible, premium, and work-first and the direction...
@Christopher Brisley great feedback
@Ben Huffman @Christopher Brisley 100% feel the same way
@Ben Huffman I accidently missclicked the vote, is there any option to redo it?
@Ben Huffman great work
@Ben Huffman I think the feed-first only works better if you already have an account and are logged-in. For any other users who are just landing Contra's world, Discover-first is def better. Just my two-cents.
@Mauricio Bejota ★ Thank you!
@Ben Huffman "Discover-first" feels better for a new visitor (non-existing /logged in user), considering the fact that you have two user personas (freelancer and client) and you don't know where the visitor belongs.
On the other hand if the user is logged-in (and you can identify the...
@Ben Huffman Feed is great for engagement, but Discovery adds value. It turns browsing into finding, which feels more meaningful long-term.
@Ben Huffman I couldn't vote because I'm not sure how the UX would be. Most like traditional chat vibes but maybe a little preview at top is not bad.
@Ben Huffman What I like about Contra is the gamified community aspect and seeing people voice their opinions, as a freelancer I choose the feed-first, but I completely see why other designers would pick the latter.
@Ben Huffman Feed first because it's familiar. In my opinion
@Ben Huffman Love both
@Ben Huffman 2ND IS VERY PROMISING🔥
@Ben Huffman The social media wall style or dribbble?
Depends on the user 🙌
@Ben Huffman feed first
@Ben Huffman that's so neat
@Ben Huffman Reason why I love this community, involving the users as much as possible
@Ben Huffman Feed-first vibes for sure! 🙋
@Ben Huffman First one🔥
@Ben Huffman I pused the feed-first option really hard, when I realized the vote has been closed
@Gabor Molnar why the feed option in your opinion ?
