Interactive Design Portfolio Platform for Product Designers
A platform for product designers to embed live, interactive prototypes (like Figma embeds) in their portfolios, enabling demo of micro-interactions and user flows.
Validated on June 12, 2026
Product designers currently stitch together separate tools for feedback and prototyping, and Dribbble's static shots don't convey interaction. This platform directly solves that gap by making portfolios functional. The hard part is distribution: designers are entrenched in Dribbble and Behance for visibility. You need to offer a compelling migration incentive—like better SEO for interactive content or a free tier that outshines static shots. For this to work, you must get early adopter designers to embed their best work and share it virally within design communities.

Designers spend hours stitching static screenshots from prototypes. Dribbble's premium visibility upsells frustrate many designers. Figma's embed API is underutilized for portfolio use cases.
Designers actively seek better portfolio tools (Twitter/Reddit). Figma embed API is free and mature for embedding prototypes. Dribbble's static format is a common complaint among product designers.
Clear gap in portfolio tools Designers need to show interaction
Why now
Heuristic scoring based on model judgment, not factual measurement.
Figma embed API mature Designers value interaction over static No dedicated interactive portfolio
The technology to embed live prototypes is ready and free, and designers express frustration with static portfolios and pricing. However, distribution remains locked by incumbents. Timing is favorable for a technical founder to build a lean MVP and test demand via waitlist.
