I love discovering new apps with unique designs, but I feel like there are not that many places that showcase real functional apps. Most of the places showcase either concepts or they’re focused on showing patterns in mainstream apps and rarely feature small indie apps.
That’s why I decided to make a collection of my own, where I regularly post beautifully designed real-world apps that I come across - 🦊 foxyapps.co.
❓What are your favorite apps with a great design that deserve more attention? And where’s your go-to place to find such apps?
🙌 Please share below, I would love to hear your suggestions. And if you have any feedback regarding foxyapps.co please feel free to share that too!
that's cool!
I hate dribble and most of the platforms because they always have fake products and also add lots of products that are really custom designed and violate all the UX principles of iOS, Material and web guidelines.
Personally I just use App Store and play around - and on the same time I keep a personal list with favorite apps and websites (e.g. Descript, hey, basecamp etc)
Cool that you made foxy apps I ll keep an eye on it!
Thanks!
I actually like Dribbble for inspiration, but I wish I could filter out just designs that have already been implemented in real apps. Some design concepts can be a bit misleading because they wouldn't get implemented in such a way in a real app.
The problem with dribble is that it's focused too much on likes and creating content that will get high engagement... Truth is that most of real-life designs look "boring" but are really fun and nice when you use them.
Dribble is great for visual design inspiration (ui details, illustrations, icons and micro-animations) but really bad for UX inspiration.
For UX there was this legendary website but it's not maintained anymore :( https://littlebigdetails.com
That's true. For UX inspiration there are other great places like Mobbin and similar, but unfortunately, they usually feature mostly mainstream apps and kind of neglect smaller indie apps, which I would be interested to see as well.
FoxyApps looks cool but I think you have performance issues. The initial load was around 8 seconds.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll have a look.
update: Should be fixed now. Thanks again!
