THE SLATENO COMMUNITY

Your kind
of people.

For the idea people. The “let me try something” people. The people who care how the last slide feels.

Bring your curiosity. Make something yours.
Help shape the tools you wish existed.

A SHARED WAY OF MAKING

You don't need a following.
You need something to say.

A student with a fresh perspective. A designer finding their voice. A founder making an idea real. Whatever you're working on, there's room for your way of doing it.

That's what we want SLATENO to stand for: useful tools, individual taste, and the small act of making something better than it was yesterday.

01 — MAKE SOMETHING YOURS

Start with a little spark.

No perfect brief required.
Pick a starting point. Follow your taste.

DECKS

An idea worth a room.

The side project. The big pitch. The presentation you actually want to give. Make five slides that say something only you could.

DOCS

A thought worth keeping.

Turn the notes in your head into a point of view. A field guide, a short essay, a plan for something that should exist.

DESIGN

A little more you.

A poster for your next thing. A visual for your favourite idea. Put your colours, your type, and your way of seeing on a canvas.

02 — PASS THE GOOD STUFF ON

Made by you.
Better in company.

Send a draft to someone whose opinion you trust. Ask what stayed with them. Offer the same care when they send something back. That's a small way to build a creative circle.

  • Share the idea, even before it feels finished.
  • Give specific, useful feedback.
  • Credit the people who helped it grow.

Export your work as a file and send it through the channels you already use. Choose PDF, Word, web or PNG where supported by your editor.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Come as
you are.

Do I need to be a designer?

No. If you have something to explain, organise or express, you have a starting point. Begin with one page and build from there.

How do I take part?

Make something in SLATENO, exchange your work with people you know, and send us ideas through Feedback & Help. There's no separate community membership to apply for.

Is there a community forum or gallery?

There isn't a public forum, member directory or community gallery today. Taking part currently happens through your own creative circle and the app's feedback tools. If a shared space would help you, tell us what you'd like to do there.

Do I keep control of my work?

Yes. Your work stays on your device by default. Making something doesn't submit it to a public gallery. You choose what to export and who to send it to. Read how your work is stored.

THERE'S ROOM FOR YOUR IDEAS

Make your
kind of thing.

One page. One idea. Something only you would make.
We'd love to know where you take it.
