I’ve been thinking about the current pace of template submissions and approvals in the marketplace, and honestly, I feel like if the volume keeps growing at this rate, it’s eventually going to hurt both creators and
@framer itself.
Creators are struggling with visibility. Even good templates get buried quickly, which naturally impacts sales and motivation. At the same time, the review team is likely under heavy pressure, going through 100 submissions a day just to keep up with approvals.
A few simple changes could help balance things out:
👉 Introduce a publishing queue for approved templates
Instead of releasing everything at once, publish a limited number daily or weekly (around 10 to 15). The rest stay in a queue. This would improve visibility and fairness.
👉Limit active submissions per creator
This would reduce spam submissions, improve overall quality, and ease the workload on reviewers.
👉Add a basic skill test for new creators
New creators should pass a simple Framer knowledge check before they can publish templates. This ensures baseline quality without blocking existing contributors.
If something like this is implemented, it could improve visibility, reduce review pressure, and raise overall marketplace quality.
Better balance for creators, reviewers, and Framer itself.
