Scaling a Startup: Lessons from Advokatguiden/The Lawyer Guide

The Lawyer Guide kicked off in Norway 🇳🇴 back in 2020 as Advokatguiden. Immediate traction. We mixed our networking capacity with a heavy PR push, and suddenly the platform became THE tool to find and review lawyers in the country. This was a very specific product talking to the right audience. The perfect MVP 🤙🏻

Design’s Favorite Shape Isn’t A Square

Humans love patterns. And if design has a favorite shape, it’s not the rectangle on your screen—it’s the wheel.Look at the history of products and you’ll see it repeating. Rotary phones, Braun T3 radios, the iPod, even the Apple TV remote. Four different decades, four different contexts, but the same circular idea at the core.The wheel keeps sneaking back in because it works.

Everywhere you look, color is disappearing. And that’s a problem.

Everywhere you look, color is disappearing. And that’s a problem.

Cars are now 80 percent grayscale. Cinema drenches vibrant sets in blue-gray monotony. Brands ditch bold logos for meek neutrals. Architecture repeats beige-glass-steel grids with robotic uniformity. Minimalism has gone on autopilot.

I Use Lovable to Move Fast and Test In Real Life

Lovable is fast, that’s why I use it. It’s not trying to be pixel-perfect. It’s trying to get you moving. The hype around them is fully deserved: they deliver what they promise.

How small design inconsistencies can ruin a Fintech UI

In fintech, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about trust. A well-structured interface communicates security, clarity, and legitimacy. But even the most visually impressive UI can fall apart under the weight of small, repeated mistakes. This is what we call design accumulation: the piling up of minor inconsistencies that eventually break the user experience.

Figma Sites came to replace Framer: Can They Succeed?

For the past two years, Framer has built its reputation on one thing: doing what Figma didn’t. It let designers ship websites—visually, quickly, without code—while keeping the UI and logic familiar to anyone fluent in Figma. That strategy paid off. Framer became the go-to for freelancers and solo designers who wanted to stop handing off files and start delivering fully functional websites. Design it, publish it, get paid. Simple.
