I can’t imagine how to create without keeping an eye on other products. Even if AI can already play a role as a co-creator of ideas, it’s not yet well-equipped to support us with visual references.

As humans, we’re visual thinkers — over 65% of people learn and process information best through visuals. And it’s not just about learning styles anymore. Visual thinking has quietly reshaped how we build, sell, and grow products.

Today, visual fluency is no longer just a desirable quality for designers. Product managers, marketers, and founders are using tools such as Lovable and Cursor to create and test ideas more quickly, bringing them to life without the need for extensive design or development work.

Keep your eyes open 👀. Collect References. Constantly.

The Miro boards with over 500 screenshots (like this one) didn't appear overnight. If you want to stay ahead — to catch changes in user behavior, product trends, or interface patterns — you need to see what's changing. And the best way to do this? Deconstruct real products, step by step.

I've been collecting product examples since my time at Miro, testing them, tearing them down, and breaking them into over 50 screenshots per step to understand every detail, copy, and UX decision behind the scenes.

It's not just for fun — it's how I find inspiration for features, identify patterns, and challenge assumptions. I recommend doing this at least once per quarter — alone or with your team - to stay inspired, sharp, and aligned with the market.

To make it easier for you, I've curated three Miro boards with over 500 screenshots — so you can get all the inspiration in one place without spending hours searching. Let's explore!
