Overhauling Sharpen’s categories & design prompts

Expanding to 9 new categories and over 11 million prompts

Since the very first version of Sharpen.design went live, tens of thousands of designers all over the world have used it to practice for interviews, bolster their portfolios, and expand their skills.

Today we’re releasing the biggest update to Sharpen yet: boosting the total prompts to 11.3 million possibilities, and making it even easier to find the ideal prompt with subcategories.

In order to support this update, we had to rebuild a few parts the core prompt generator. These updates not only enable sub-categories, but also pave the way for further quality-control measures to make sure every prompt you get is an exciting challenge.

We’re working on making Sharpen the best tool to practice design with, and we have some exciting (even bigger) expansions coming later this year. Keep an eye out!

Want to give the new categories a try? Head on over to Sharpen.

PS — We also want to give a shout-out to our incredible beta testers, who took the time to test things out and submit feedback before we unveiled this! Y’all the best 🙌🏽
