I don't want to sound mean or anything, I don't think the creator of this owes anyone anything more (or at all).

I do wonder when I visit that site... is it just 10 free illustrations?

Nothing wrong with that, I just wonder when I visit if I'm missing anything.

I think you’re missing the point actually. The point is not to provide high value, the point is to drive traffic to their main product by giving -something- for free.

Not mean at all! Starting with 10 now and want to add more to it with feedback with respect to what kinds of illustration + diff styles perhaps.

A few similarly sparse sites for illustrations have done well on product hunt and now it’s more common. Someone recently created an aggregator because a bigger library is definitely needed

Yeah more styles are definitely coming out. We would love to be able to commission more unique ones.

Do you have a link to that aggregator?

Can't find it but it's one of the many, many, many links on this page: https://www.producthunt.com/search?q=illustrations%20

Nevermind I think I found it: https://freeillustrations.xyz/?ref=producthunt
