Leaving Framer templates — from being at the very top to blending into the noise.

This is what’s at the top, btw. I'm not here to sue other creators, but if you need to build sh"t to get clients, then this isn’t my place anymore.

Crazy how Framer has shifted from designing for clients to designing for random designers.

Now, visibility depends on whether the other 60,000 designers appreciate your work — and if they don’t, your actual potential clients may never see it.

Before the update, there were around 12,500 designers and 20 new templates per day. Now it’s around 60,000 designers and 70 templates per day, though Framer removed the ability to see those numbers a week ago.

A template like the one below would have sold at least twice in the first month before this update, but now it can easily go months without a single sale.

Hope it gets better soon, but for now, we can just build..

Light or Dark mode?

Framer this week (Aug 6–12):

Video Shaders is now live, bringing images and video to life with chromatic aberration and mouse interactions. The Agent model picker now includes Reasoning and Fast Mode. The August Community update introduces a Likes tab, mobile Buy/Use Free buttons, LinkedIn profiles, and Contact creator.

A brief third-party analytics outage was resolved the same day.

The biggest discussion this week centered on post-3.0 Marketplace concerns. Creators reported significant sales drops, attributing them to the surge of low-quality and AI-generated templates after the review process was relaxed. Jorn acknowledged the issue, and the team is focused on discovery and ranking while asking for specific feedback.

Framer just shipped CMS 3.1 with Agent support woven through the entire collection: adding rows as context, working with field dividers, navigating pages, selecting collections. On its own it's a small quality-of-life update — but zoom out.

In two weeks Framer has rolled out Sonnet 5 (July 1), Fable 5 (July 3), the GPT 5.6 lineup — Sol, Terra, Luna (July 9), and now CMS 3.1 (July 14). Four agent-focused releases. Every recent shipping decision points the same direction.

Framer isn't just adding AI features anymore; it's rebuilding the canvas as an agent workspace, where the designer directs and the agents execute.

A Quick Look at Another Type of Motion

Already 50 designers have used this free portfolio template in just 2 days.

It helps web and graphic designers showcase their work with 3D effects and a built-in contact form.

If you’re a designer, it’s definitely worth a look.

This is only the beginning 👀

Looks like the motion post really resonated with you all — deeper, cooler posts on motion design are already on the list 👀

Figma just held Config 2026, and the headline feature is code layers — any design layer can now become a live, interactive code layer, with entire GitHub repos importable straight onto the canvas.

Alongside it: native timeline-based animation (Figma Motion) with 3D transforms and code export, AI-generated shaders, and generative plugins you build just by prompting an agent. Figma isn't just chasing Framer & Webflow's canvas-to-live-site model anymore — it's trying to own design, motion, and code on one surface.

@Floris Wouldn’t this be a great feature?

L'ART №01

@Framer's 3D — perspective, rotation, depth — moves a flat plane through space. It still can't bend the plane itself. That takes a mesh, and a mesh means WebGL.

Try to make something ripple or curve in Framer. You can tilt it. You can't warp it.

Even though this incredible free portfolio already looks strong, it would be even better with a real WebGL integration.

Learning motion is so dope.
