How We Curate This Library

Every design source is vetted and properly credited. We currently track 338 inspiration sources and 8 curated styles.

Source Quality

  • Open Source: The original code is publicly available.
  • Creator Referenced: We link to the original creator, but no public code is available.
  • Needs Verification: We're still tracking down the original source.

How We Use Sources

  • We always credit the original creator.
  • We respect license terms before using any design patterns.
  • We adapt design ideas — we never copy branded work directly.
  • If a license is unclear, we treat the source as reference-only.

How We Select Sources

  1. Find a high-quality design and identify the original creator.
  2. Record the source link, code repository, and license.
  3. Tag it by category, technology, and what makes it useful.
  4. Publish a detailed page with attribution and a screenshot.

For Developers

Every source is also available as structured data for integrations and automation.
