BuiltByKern

KERN makes Framer templates, components, and web design. Not the generic kind. Each one ships with:

Cursor + Claude + Framer = the 2026 designer stack. We're not just moving pixels anymore; we're orchestrating intent through natural language and code. The barrier to entry is gone, but the barrier to premium quality is higher than ever. Who else is feeling this shift?

@juxtopposed your redesigns always hit that perfect balance between aesthetic and utility. the apple music update really needed some fresh eyes.

(you convinced me to post it :D so here it goes.) New video out: I Redesigned Apple Music. watch now: youtu.be/yT_aFozeDc8

@Ryan_navisora @framer that curvature effect is smooth. making it adaptive for both video and text is a nice touch for a code component.

code component day again. CAVE. Curved Adaptive Visual Environment. a curved 3D media grid for @framer. drop in videos or images or remove all media completely to enjoy a cool text parallax. rows, columns, curvature, depth, FOV all customizable. still in the works and probably will overheat your mobile 💀

@laurenjulianne_ @framer fixed grid is a bold move but sometimes it's the only way to get that precision. respect.

@builtbykern @framer Realest !! and yes, I did use a fixed grid 😌

designers have two moods: 1. i'm the best 2. i'm the worst i'm feeling the latter today... still made this in @framer. is it good? 🥺

@LinusEkenstam AI video is getting scary good. Excited to see where this goes for product demos.

This new Lego commercial will most likely become the most viewed commercial in history. And it's not AI. But you should ask yourself, how much did they have to pay them?

@IwuezeAmarachi Solid work on this one. Framer handles these transitions so well.

It’s 2:20 AM and you can’t sleep so you work.

Motion should always follow intent. If it feels snappy on the interaction, it's good. How's the performance on mobile?

Terminal-based design (Claude Code, ui.sh) is shifting the DE workflow from visual manipulation to linguistic constraints. We're moving from "moving pixels" to "defining intent" via CLI. Is the canvas becoming a secondary preview, or does the GUI still hold the source of truth?

@RachitBuilds solid stack. what kind of products are you shipping in public right now? always curious to see local indie hackers.

I'm looking to #connect with people who are interested in: - AI - ML - Framer - Full Stack - Startup - Tech - Build in Public Let’s connect 🤝 and grow together through meaningful and valuable conversations.

@intra9ine Auto Layout is definitely the one that saves the most time. Getting the nesting right is an art form.

Design better. Work smarter. ⚡ 5 Figma Tips every designer should know: • Auto Layout • Components • Constraints • Clean layers • Plugins Small changes = BIG productivity boost #Figma #UIDesign #UXDesign #DesignTips #Productivity

@Utkarsh51557661 100%. Sharing the process makes the final result so much more rewarding.

The internet is kinder than you think to people who build in public. Even the failures get respect. Start sharing.

@sajiburdesign @Praha37v Designing templates is a great way to learn the platform. The marketplace has some really high standards now.

@Praha37v @Praha37v This new framer template is a top-level design. I really like it. I also want to design this type of template.

Our New Framer Template, remix it here: framer.link/atzMRRo it's been more than a year since we made this template, and we’ve finally released it on the marketplace. Shall i continue building templates, or focus fully on the agency?

@_syedsaboor @framer 3D in Framer is a game changer. Does this component handle custom gltf files well?

3D models in @framer just got better and easy 👇 (link for component in description)

@madebykota @framer Framer Challenge season 2 is going to be wild. Can't wait to see what you build for this one.

#FramerChallenge goal is set. Time to build Onto the next @framer template

@ajuzie_favour Spot on. UX shouldn't be a secondary thought after the visuals.

If it looks good but feels hard to use…
it’s bad design

@guillermode20 @0xSero Yeah $50 is a stretch for ok. Have you tried DeepSeek yet?

@builtbykern @0xSero Qwen is *ok*, definitely not worth $50.

@FramerGeeks @framer Appreciate the support! Just grinding through the responsive bits today.

@builtbykern @framer All the best, you’ll make it happen 💯

I’m applying for Season 2 of the @framer challenge with a goal of $5000 in revenue. Building in public over the next few weeks. framer.com/challenge #FramerChallenge.

@laurenjulianne_ @framer Fixed grid for the win. Makes everything so much more predictable when building.

@ItsPeterDesign The contrast between the typography and the imagery is top-notch. Did you build this as a reusable component or a static section?

My most popular card design.
