WDGT: Curated Archive of App Widgets
Design Resource
Vibe Coded
Web App
wdgt.pro is a curated archive of real, production mobile app widgets. While widgets are small and highly constrained, there is no reliable place to study how they are actually designed, shipped, and evolved in real products.

Situation
Designers lack a reliable place to study real, production-ready mobile app widgets.
Existing inspiration platforms mix concepts, trends, and shipped work, making it hard to learn from real constraints.
Widgets are small, system-bound, and time-sensitive, yet poorly documented as a design discipline.
No structured archive existed to study widget evolution across years and platforms.
Task
Build a credible, designer-first reference product focused only on real iOS and Android widgets.
Ensure the product feels calm, trustworthy, and editorial.
Design it to scale in quality, not volume, while remaining SEO-friendly.
Action
Single handedly built a curated, production-only widget archive.
Organized content for comparison across platforms and years.
Delivered a polished, motion-rich experience.
Result
Launched a distinct, defensible design reference product with clear positioning.
Achieved a calm, professional experience that designers trust, not just browse.
Created a platform that:
supports long-term SEO growth
invites thoughtful engagement
avoids content dilution
Launch and Impact
From idea to launch in 1 week, wdgt.pro quickly won appreciation from designers around the world. Experience it here.
