Pulsing Cart Reminder 🛒
A small UX interaction that could help increase e-commerce conversions.
When a shopper adds a product to their cart and continues browsing, the cart icon subtly pulses for a few seconds.
The idea is simple: keep the cart visible and remind shoppers that they already have an item waiting for them.
The Problem
Shoppers often add products to their cart and then continue browsing. As they explore more products, it’s easy to forget what they’ve already added.
The UX Solution
Introduce a soft pulsing animation around the cart icon immediately after an item is added.
It provides a visual reminder without interrupting the browsing experience.
Potential Benefits
🛒 Keeps the cart top-of-mind
👀 Makes the added item easier to remember
🔄 Encourages shoppers to revisit their cart
🎯 Creates a clear path toward checkout
⚡ Requires a relatively small UX change
Pro Tip 💡
Pair the pulse animation with a lightweight “Added to Cart” notification.
The combination provides immediate feedback while giving the shopper a subtle reminder to return to their cart.
Small interaction. Simple implementation. Potential CRO impact.
This is the kind of micro-interaction I’d test through an A/B experiment before rolling it out site-wide.
Would you test this on your e-commerce store?

A beautiful Shopify store can still be frustrating to use if the navigation isn't clear.
Here are 5 common mistakes I look out for:
1. Too many menu items
More options don't always make browsing easier.
2. Unclear categories
Customers shouldn't have to guess where a product belongs.
3. Hiding important pages
Key collections and shopping paths should be easy to discover.
4. Ignoring mobile navigation
A menu that works on desktop may not work well on a small screen.
5. No clear product path
Customers should be able to move naturally from browsing → finding a product → shopping.
Good navigation isn't about adding more links.
It's about making the right things easier to find.
What would you check first when reviewing a Shopify store's navigation?
Clear navigation makes the shopping journey much easier.
From tattoo enquiry to confirmed appointment.
UNTITLED is a fictional independent tattoo studio in Amsterdam, built around a very real problem: tattoo bookings often live in DMs.
Clients ask about prices, availability, placement, references and custom ideas, while artists spend time managing the same back-and-forth manually.
UNTITLED brings that entire process into one connected experience.
The product has two sides:
CLIENT VIEW
Clients can browse available flash, place tattoos on a 3D body model, choose a date and time, complete a demo checkout, or submit a custom tattoo request with references, placement, size, budget and preferred availability.
ARTIST VIEW
The artist dashboard brings together bookings, payments, calendar availability, flash management, custom enquiries, quotes and activity in one place.
Both views are connected, creating a fully working end-to-end demo.
A flash booking updates the artist calendar and design availability, while a custom request appears in the dashboard for the artist to review, quote and turn into a confirmed appointment.
3D PLACEMENT
The booking flow includes an interactive 3D tattoo placement system, allowing clients to choose body type, skin tone and body area, then position, scale and rotate the selected tattoo before booking.
This replaces part of the placement conversation that would normally happen through messages.
CUSTOM REQUESTS
Not every tattoo starts from an existing design.
Clients can switch from FLASH to CUSTOM and send a structured enquiry with reference images and project details.
The artist can then review the request, create a quote and propose an appointment directly from the dashboard.
Custom request → quote → approval → booking.
FULLY RESPONSIVE
The complete experience is responsive across desktop, tablet and mobile, including the website, booking flow, 3D placement interface and artist dashboard.
DEMO
UNTITLED is a functional demo built for the Lovable Challenge.
Payments are simulated and the data is session-based so the full experience can be tested repeatedly, but the core product logic is fully interactive across both Client and Artist views.
BUILT WITH LOVABLE
I built UNTITLED entirely in Lovable, from the client-facing website to the booking logic, 3D placement experience and artist dashboard.
I also applied to the Lovable Partner Program during the challenge and I’m now officially a Lovable Partner!

Looks amazing, pretty clean, but a product menu in a tattoo studio feels kind of odd. But it looks nice..
Threadly is a SaaS dashboard for independent sellers who need one clear workspace for products, orders, stores, and sales performance.
We focused on making commerce data feel approachable: key metrics are easy to scan, top products stay visible, recent orders are structured clearly, and product quick views give sellers deeper context without interrupting their workflow.
