Something I do outside of running Frontend Mentor is playing #FPL. As a little hobby project, I decided to create an app to help me plan my team. I've also made a season-in-review tool for it, which is free to use for anyone who wants to try it (link in the thread) 🧵

With the launch of this path, we essentially have a complete "career path," which includes building 38 projects using real-world workflows. Community members completing all paths will gain incredible project experience they can leverage to impress potential employers! 🚀

We've just launched our FREE "Getting job ready" learning path! 🥳 We know the job market for entry-level developers is challenging right now. With this path, we aim to help you stand out and make a strong impression on potential employers. Here's what's included...🧵

I'll never get tired of receiving messages like this from the @frontendmentor community ❤️ What a great way to start the week!

Team branding is live! 🥳 Promote any page you like while training your developers/students with our projects. If you have a company, product, course, coding school, or anything you'd like to promote to our developer community, check it out!

We've just shipped team branding! ✨ This means teams can now promote their company, careers page, course, school, or any page they like throughout the Frontend Mentor community! 📣

Finding project ideas that interest you can be tough. Here’s a list of ideas based on different interests to help you stay engaged 👇

Frontend Mentor@frontendmentor.io · 2y ago

"Build projects that interest you" It's common advice that makes sense. Building projects that interest you hopefully improves your chances of completing them and gives you something to talk about in interviews. However, it doesn't answer the question "what to build?" Here are some ideas 🧵

This will be a perfect way for companies and coding schools/bootcamps to train their developers, promote their brand, and give back to the community all at the same time 🙌

Frontend Mentor@frontendmentor.io · 2y ago

We're working on adding team branding to our Teams offering. Any team owner can set up team branding to promote any page they want (e.g., product, course, bootcamp, careers, etc.) ✨ Once enabled, the branding will appear on all team member avatars across the Frontend Mentor platform...

Our final challenge of 2024 is live! 🥳

Frontend Mentor@frontendmentor.io · 2y ago

We've just launched a new FREE challenge! 🎉 For this challenge, you'll create a conference ticket generator. The user should be able to upload their details and then see a generated conference ticket with those details 🎟️ Here's the link 👇 Happy coding! www.frontendmentor.io/challenges/c...

I love days when we ship big product improvements! ❤️

Frontend Mentor@frontendmentor.io · 2y ago

We're excited to announce a major UX update to our challenge page! 🎉 Now, everything you need is in one place. You can easily download assets, manage solutions, and explore community solutions all from the challenge page. It's much simpler than what we had before with the challenge hubs! 🥳

I'm biased, but I love this new @frontendmentor.io challenge design! 😍

Frontend Mentor@frontendmentor.io · 2y ago

We're delighted to say that we've just launched a new PREMIUM challenge! 🥳 This tech book club landing page challenge will be a good test of your HTML and CSS skills. It's a fun design to build, so we hope you enjoy it! Here's the link 👇 Happy coding! 🙂 www.frontendmentor.io/challenges/t...

Just realised I've barely been out of our flat in three days. Time to touch some grass 😅

Michele’s book Deploy Empathy is a strong recommend for anyone who interviews customers (which should be all founders 😄). Pick it up for cheap today! 🥳

Michele Hansen@mjwhansen.com · 2y ago

Oh that's right, it's Black Friday! Buy my book for cheap, or don't. Kindle is $€£ 5 bc it's nearing 5,000 copies sold! I'd set the paperback at that price, too, but I'd make negative money so Amazon won't let me. So it's $€£ 9.99 www.amazon.co.uk/Deploy-Empat... www.amazon.de/Deploy-Empat...

The existing H1 for our hiring platform doesn't really convey what we're about: "Discover and hire top tech talent quickly" It's a bit...meh. Our USP is helping companies uncover exceptional developers with proven skills based on their completed @frontendmentor.io projects. Time for a re-think 🤔

Tis the season to spend those training budgets! 😄 We recently launched Frontend Mentor for Teams to help teams train and onboard developers faster using industry-standard practice projects. If you're in a professional development team, read more below to see if it might fit 👇

Frontend Mentor@frontendmentor.io · 2y ago

Teams, do you have training budget to spend by the end of the year? Frontend Mentor for Teams could be a perfect fit for leveling up and onboarding your devs using our realistic practice projects. Here are a few reasons why project-based learning could work for your team 🧵 teams.frontendmentor.io

We offer purchasing power parity discounts for @frontendmentor.io, but have never played around with additional discounts. Tomorrow, we're shipping an update that gives new customers a 20% discount on our yearly subscription, valid for three days, once they complete our first learning path.

From now on, we'll include the Bluesky logo in @frontendmentor.io challenge designs. This one's from our upcoming challenge footer. Every little bit of promo love helps! ❤️

We're looking for more ways to drive traffic to our pro subscription sales page (and Teams offering). I recently saw that Codecademy has an "upgrade now" banner at the top of its index pages for free users, so I thought we might try it. The page gets 500K+ views per month. Too obnoxious?

The hero section design exploration for our next @frontendmentor.io challenge is actually making me want to join a tech book club 😂

We're exploring adding device toggles to our design comparison slider. This would be a pro-only feature, as adding two extra screenshots on 15,000+ solution submissions every month would skyrocket our Cloudinary bill 😅 It could be a good pro feature addition!

Things I love to see: word-of-mouth referrals for @frontendmentor.io ❤️

We're looking to add a @frontendmentor.io affiliate programme. Many content creators and instructors already recommend us through their videos and courses, so it makes sense to explore more proactive partnerships. Anyone had any success implementing an affiliate programme?

It’s so nice to actually see posts from indie makers and business owners again without Elon Musk or dodgy ads showing up constantly!

Giving this a listen on the train home. Seems appropriate!
