Whenever I start a new software project, there's one thing I always try to imagine first. A real person actually using it.
Maybe they're struggling with a task that's taking forever. Then one click, and it's done in seconds.
If I just show that click in a video, it doesn't look like much. But once you understand the hour of work behind it, suddenly it's a pretty big deal.
And that's what I love about working with software products. Finding those little moments and figuring out how to make someone watching the video understand why they matter 🖤
Stunning and clean
Thank you so much 🙌

This is what happens when payments meet motion 🔥.
Every tap. Every transition. Every sound effect 🎧.
Built a fully animated payment transfer prototype. Turn your sound ON. Trust me, you’ll feel the difference.
I love this
Startfrom 2.0 is live. It's our template library: finished websites designed at Apollo Studio, available as a Framer project, an Astro theme or a Next.js app.
Each template page shows what you get and runs the live demo in the page. Some templates are free.
Keeping content separate from layout would make the Astro and Next.js versions easier to customise. Do they share a content schema, or does each template have its own setup?
A Friday pick from the archives. I made this for Whale a few months ago, and it’s still close to my heart.
The task was to explain a product with several features without making viewers work to understand it.
I kept the structure simple: the problem, the main solution, then the extras.
First, scattered company knowledge and the same questions being asked repeatedly. Then, how Whale puts answers inside the tools teams already use. Recording processes and training quizzes come later, once the main value is clear.
That order matters. Viewers should understand why they need the product before learning everything it can do.
I took the same approach with the animation: calm transitions, focused UI, and time to follow each action.
Still proud of this one. Not because I squeezed everything in, but because I gave the important parts enough room.
