Design inspiration
I follow a few designers on Dribble whose work I like. I also keep a list of artists & art I liked.
Below are sites/apps whose design I liked. Linear is pretty great (gradient, boxes, layout). This HN thread on elegant software is a good read too.
Arc has a pretty onboard experience.
