FAQ
Can I launch my app on r/design? If design is the focus — share UI, process, and design decisions. Generic startup pitches are off-topic.
Does r/design help SEO? No — nofollow links. Value is design feedback and referral traffic from designers.
How is r/design different from r/design_critiques? r/design is broader design discussion. r/design_critiques is specifically for requesting feedback on your work.
What design posts perform well? Process breakdowns, before/after iterations, and honest constraint discussions — not polished marketing renders alone.
