Hey guys'n'gals!
Never really used design forums before, I've just stuck to asking around in my circle of (ever critical) friends. But now I'm doing some research for software I'm building and I could do with the help of a wider audience! So who better to ask than designers themselves?
I'm helping build a piece of software for Win/Mac that's basically a design-resource hub. Sell your resources, buy new resources. Or give them away and hunt for free stuff! It's all about putting the quality resources from every corner of the internet into the same place - to make it easy to find. We'll also have a download manager allowing you to quickly load in/out the resources you download, so you don't have to keep cleaning up your system. The resources you download on one computer will be available on any you log in on.
So far we're thinking of including:
We're hoping to get at least 3 of these working in the initial release.
So, questions for you:
Would you use this?
What do you value most when you buy resources? Where do you buy your resources?
What else would you add?
Thanks.
Will
EDIT
It seems everyone is focusing on the paid stuff. The majority of the content will be free, but the option will be there to purchase and sell content if you want.
