“What’s the best way to learn Rive?”

I get this question a lot, so here’s my go-to answer for learning Rive without getting lost.

1. Start with the Rive 101 tutorials.

They’re perfect for understanding the UI and core concepts. Don’t skip this foundation.

2. Open Rive and start...

When Data Binding launched in Rive, I started a deep dive into Rive, and it quickly became my favourite design tool. I’ve been exploring gamification to create adaptive interactions that are fun to use.

Everything you see here is driven by data, reacts to context changes, and even adapts to different screen sizes. 

Finally cleared the hardest stage on Contra: winning trust, landing my first client, earning my first review, and getting paid.

Next mission: hit 5K. Let’s go! 💪🔥

Last week I worked hard on improving my Contra profile, these are the results :

- Discovery score jumped from 60 → 114 - Moved from the top 35% to the top 10% of creatives - Landed 2 new projects through Contra

It’s really motivating to see the work pay off so quickly. Next goal: to 5%! 🚀
