Hey Everyone! We're back in new shape, better than ever! :)
As you might have noticed, you're reading this on a brand new page :) Our old page was build pretty fast and lacked some substantial features we needed to improve it and add new features. So we had to rebuild quite a few things from scratch. This took quite a while to acomplish and you did not hear from us in a while...this is done now :)
We now have a brand new www.madewithcards.io page, lots of features to be added soon. While there still is some stuff left to work on, we didn't want to wait any longer and show the community our work. There's some tuning to do, our blog isn't finished yet and various features behind the scenes need some love aswell but its by far better than the old page and there's a bunch of stuff already available!
There's a ton of new features added and to be added soon
Customize the page :)
A more gimicky feature but you can now decide if you want the page in light or dark...just use the cogs icon on the right to chose. You can also change the default card layout from here.
A brand new getting started section!
We extended the page with a brand new getting started section, this is getting filled more and more and will help people getting started with AdaptiveCards. We list Microsoft Learn content, recommended blog posts besides various documentation link to help you find what you need!
Starting with AdaptiveCards was never easier ;)
Our brand new AdaptiveCards API!
The old page had the cards sort of hardcoded in the page's own database, the new MadeWithCards.io is using our public Cards Database. Yea, right you can get all the cards on the page, and all cards we'll add via https://api.madewithcards.io. This also means that in future, all public cards can be used in BotFramework, VSCode or your Power Automate flows making shared cards even more useful for the community.
While the API is already online, it can only be used for selected user's at the moment. We plan to have the API commonly available soon.
A note on cards: currently not all the old cards are online on the page, this is because we're transistioning to the new system. You will find all cards and a bunch of new cards soon in the cards section.
Your own cards!
Once our API is publicly available you will also be online to login to the page, add your own cards (even private!) make your own cards public and edit your cards from VSCode or the Designer. THis will allow you to re-use cards everywhere you like to from PowerAutomate to Teams Apps and more. Yes even Cards for SAP or Cisco.
With the help of the community we plan to have a huge section of AdaptiveCard templates for common data, such as Github.com or Asana, Teamwork, Wrike, Microsoft Graph API's and a lot more. We're always looking for Cards for "public" APIs. Any template build for data for any SAAS product really.
Various Extensions and Libraries
Easily use one of our cards from PowerAutomate, use cards from the API within Botframework and self contained cards using Stencil...this is just a few of things we're about to release pretty soon.
Oh...did you know you can embed AdaptiveCards in Medium.com blog posts soon? :)
AdaptiveCards Studio!
AdaptiveCards Studio will receive quite a few updates aswell, besides loading and editing cards directly from within VSCode you can also write cards in Yaml format and convert to JSON later. (Thanks to our friends at https://www.asseco.com)
Now...why all this?!
AdaptiveCards are reusable, templated and can easily be loaded from any source. We see quite a few people still hardcode cards in c# or botframework and want to help ease AdaptiveCards development and help people make their cards reusable, shareable and future proof :)

Stay tuned!
