I'm super excited to finally be launching Layers on Product Hunt! 🚀
Layers started out as a passion project of mine after seeing so many designers dissatisfied with existing design platforms. Realising that I too had given up on these platforms I decided to build my own. It's a dream working on Layers and I've already made so many meaningful relationships that I already consider it a success. But if I was to have a goal for Layers, it would be for the members to own it and the code to be open-source (or at least open to the members). A community platform truly owned by the community I feel has much higher chance of thriving than one that isn't.
We've been in private beta for a while and since then we've:
🌎 Grown the community to over 20k members.
⛴️ Shipped a tonne of features like: attachments, scheduling, analytics, teams, messaging and more.
🚀 Launched a premium subscription called Layers Plus!
🎧 Started a podcast called Overlay!
💬 Grown an active Discord server.
To celebrate our PH launch, you can grab 30% off the Layers Plus annual plan, using the code PHLAUNCH30. This deal will be available for a limited time only so make the most of it 😄
A huge thanks to the whole Layers community ❤️

Hey @liampmccabe just dove into Layers I'm genuinely impressed by how it's sculpting a dedicated space for designers. The community and portfolio features are spot on!
Have you thought about integrating a mentorship program within the platform? This could foster even deeper connections and learning opportunities for emerging designers
Congrats on the launch (and hitting #1 @liampmccabe). It’s been so inspiring watching you create and build a community like this.
this was so necessary to create 👏 congratulations on this wonderful release 👏👏
layers is simply fantastic! 🎨✨
it's like a cozy corner of the internet where designers can mingle, share, and inspire each other. the platform's sleek interface makes navigating through projects a breeze, while connecting with fellow creatives feels effortless. dive in and watch your creative spirit soar to new heights! 🌟
p.s. you should consider joining the layers discord server (i'm a mod there 🫣)
I can confidently say it's a fantastic platform. It's intuitive, fosters great connections among designers, and has helped me elevate my portfolio. Congratulations!
I adore the design of this product!
Is Layers essentially another Dribbble? What sets Layers apart and gives it advantages?
Love the design. Is this the new Dribbble, then? Just got my account up. Will post some designs soon.
Easily one of the best things happened to the design community. Layers is just lovely. Once I started using it, I loved the experience and my Dribbble is now dead...
Congratulations on the launch @liampmccabe 🎉 Big success only from here 💪
