Congratulations on all the hackathon winners!!

Small update to Type Invaders: redid the whole "enter your name" screen.

It's now a proper 3-step flow.

Name, secure your PIN, pick your country - instead of one long wall of fields. Each step just moves forward on its own once you're done, no extra clicking around.

Hey @Framer

Thoughts in introducing Reposting as a feature?

Hey All

Thank you to the 100 supporters who have had an opportunity to engage with my hackathon post. Crazy Milestone for me given that this is the first time participation in such.

My Framer Agents Hackathon Submission was a multiplayer typing game.

It has some cool features you could try out

✅ It has a live global leaderboard that updates in real time,

✅ 4 difficulty levels, power-ups that give you temporary abilities,

✅ A streak counter that tracks how many words you can type in a row without missing

Hi All

Type Invaders just got a glow up.

New UI, smoother UX, same chaos. 300+ games played across dozens of countries and counting.

Go get on the leaderboard.

A few days ago I had a wild idea at midnight and opened Framer Agents instead of going to sleep.

I didn't expect strangers from Argentina, Kenya, Bangladesh, Sweden, Bulgaria, United States, Canada and a dozen other countries to end up competing against each other on something I built in one sitting.

Genuinely grateful for this community. People played, gave feedback, celebrated wins, and made the whole thing feel alive in a way I didn't plan for.

This is exactly why I love being here.

If you haven't had the opportunity of trying out Type Invaders, engage with my hackathon post and if you love the experience, drop some love 💙

Would you guys consider bringing back private messaging in the Community?

It was genuinely useful for connecting with other builders, especially for things you don't want to hash out in a public thread. Right now there's no real way to follow up with someone one on one.

Curious if this is on the radar or if there was a specific reason it was removed.

PUBLISH OR PERISH

The Marketplace losing its standalone identity is something I've been sitting with.

Before, it had its own gravity. You went there with intent, to buy, to browse, to scope out what serious builders were charging. It felt like a storefront.

Now it lives inside the Community feed, sandwiched between hot takes and hackathon posts. And I get the logic. More eyeballs, more cross-pollination, buyers discovering creators they'd never have found otherwise. For someone just starting out, that visibility is genuinely valuable. You're not shouting into a void anymore.

But visibility and intent are different things. A person scrolling Community is in browsing mode, not buying mode. The Marketplace used to filter for people already holding their wallet out. Now it's filtering for people mid scroll, which is a much colder audience for a purchase decision.

There's also a tone problem. A storefront and a social feed want different things from a post. One wants "here's what this does and what it costs." The other wants engagement, reactions, a bit of personality. Mash them together and you get templates dressed up as social content, which can feel less like commerce and more like everyone competing for the same likes.

I don't think the answer is reverting completely. The discovery boost is real and probably net positive for new creators. But a dedicated Marketplace feed, one with its own rhythm separate from the general noise, would let it function as a storefront again instead of just another content category fighting for attention.

Curious if others who sell here feel the same shift, or if I'm overthinking it.

For the Framer Agents Hackathon I built Type Invaders, multiplayer typing game.

Framer-related words fall from the top of the screen and you type them before they hit the bottom. The faster and more accurate you are, the higher your score.

It has a live leaderboard that updates in real time, so you can see other people's scores change while you're playing. There are four difficulty levels, power-ups that give you temporary abilities like freezing the words or doubling your points, and a streak counter that tracks how many words you can type in a row without missing.

The whole thing was built using Framer Agents, with Supabase running in the background to handle the leaderboard and player accounts. 86 people have played it so far from 12 different countries.

If you enjoy the game, be sure to show my hackathon post some love💙
