How to create the ultimate design swipe file in Notion

Learn how to build a product design inspiration database in Notion to organize your swipe file and spark your creativity!

---

A Notion swipe file is one of the most valuable resources for product designers. It’s a great way to organize all of the things that inspire you in one place. I often browse my swipe file before starting to design in Figma.

This video will show you how to create a tagging system that fits your needs (ex: Dashboards, Web Design, Mobile app design, Card UI, Graphic design patterns, etc.).

And it will also show you some powerful Notion features for designers to help you become a database master 💪

I have one myself. Using Mymind to create a massive searchable, auto tagged design swipe file. I think people should share more of their best assets with each other and hopefully the future of tools and processes will enable us to do so.

Thanks for sharing this Ridd!
One improvement others might find helpful is the Notion web clipper browser extension. This helps me quickly add new entries to my inspirations database, let's say from Dribbble, in a couple of clicks.

Hmm... Despite having my cards set to "page content" in gallery view, the images do not populate the cards at all, even if I upload them. All I get are empty squares in gallery view.
