The disruption begins. Join, Oncer!
The game is rigged, but don't worry—we'll rig it
Hey Oncer,
We’ve hit some major milestones recently:
→ 2,000+ newsletter readers
→ 1,000+ Threads followers
→ 800+ members on once-ui.com
But these aren’t just numbers.
We’re not here to chase metrics.
We’re here to build something real.

Community is our biggest leverage
We hosted our first Community Call of the year—and it was a blast. There were 15 participants who joined us live to hear about what have we been up to and ask questions about our future plans.
Let me show you the highlights in case you couldn’t make it:

Texz and I unveiled our latest collab:

We introduced our first Frontiers

Dev showcased his Once UI stack

We shared a preview of version 0.6

And most importantly—we hang out.
Because we’re not just building tools, but having fun learning, experimenting and pushing our boundaries.

Prepare for the next phase
Once UI started with portfolio sites.
But now?
It’s powering social platforms. Data tools. Shaping real products.
It’s becoming the foundation for modern indie devs.
And we’re not just shipping components.
We’re here to support you as you build: Unlike other frameworks—we’re not distant maintainers. We’re in this with you.

Our playbook
Social media is rigged. Organic reach is dead.
Yet, no one cares how good your product is—if no one sees it. And the best way to promote it is still through social media. But not with paid ads, and definitely not by sacrificing your soul clickbaiting engagement.
Time to invent a new gameplay:
→ We build our own momentum.
→ We create our own visibility.
Together.
I’m looking for indie builders who want to grow their presence—Not through hustle culture, but through coordination.
You’ll get access to:
→ A shared folder of high-quality Once UI assets
→ Our Figma file for remixing assets for your product
→ Promotion and visibility through our official pages
High quality. Minimal effort. Real collaboration.
That’s how disruption begins.
If someone asks for a UI framework—drop Once UI.
If someone needs a community—send them to the Club.
Your follower count doesn’t matter.
Because now, you’re not building alone, but we’re sharing our resources.
Join us on Discord to discuss the strategy in #the-frontiers channel.

We’re creating something important here, and I want you to be part of it.
I don’t care about your degree. I’m not interested in your job title, or how many followers you have.
Here’s what I care about: Your ambition. Your ideas. Your will to push forward.
I believe in you.
Now let’s build the future we envision.
