I was posting on Pinterest for 6 months and getting nothing.
Then I discovered what top Pinterest accounts were actually doing.
It wasn't better photos.
It wasn't posting more.
It wasn't even better boards.
It was three words: keyword-engineered architecture.
Pinterest doesn't reward pretty.
Pinterest rewards discoverable.
Once I rebuilt my entire system around search intent —
163 daily impressions became 1,248 in 30 days.
One board alone hit 10,203 impressions.
Zero paid ads. Zero collaborations.
The difference between accounts that grow and accounts that die?
It's not talent.
It's not time.
It's not followers.
It's structure.
If you're not engineering your Pinterest SEO from the ground up —
you're not competing.
You're just hoping.
I build these systems for businesses and creators now.

Most designs don't fail because they look bad.
They fail because they don't convert.
So I built something in FLORA to solve this.
"Fix My Design"
You upload a landing page or ad, and it breaks it down visually:
1. Where users actually look (attention HEATMAP)
2. Where they lose interest
3. What feels confusing
4. Why the CTA gets ignored
5. Where trust breaks
6. And most importantly... how to fix it
All directly on your design.

One year using Contra seriously. Not just having a profile. Actually using it.
128 points to 284.
$8K+ billed, heading to $10K.
10+ badges earned.
Zero commission on contracts got me in. That alone was enough. But then the community side opened up and it turned into something I wasn't expecting.
Talented people from all over the world. Challenges every few weeks that push you to try new tools and compete for real prizes. The kind of environment that makes you better without feeling like work.
Year one done. Year two starts now.
Congrats man!
Over the years I've designed many mobile apps for clients.
This one is different. It's mine.
- Two weekends.
- Figma for the design (it's hand-made)
- Claude for the code, App Store research and strategy and everything related to the app submission.
- 1 rejection from Apple, sorted out in a few minutes this morning, resubmitted for review and we're now live.
It's nothing world changing - just a kitchen timer. But it's on the App Store and I built it as a designer with zero coding skills. Gotta wrap up a case study for this soon.
P.S. Feels a bit odd to have "Developer" label above my name 🤣
Cool stuff Ivo, congrats on the lunch 😃 . You probably got this request before haha, do you mind sharing more behind the scenes of this project? For example, did you start first in Claude then doing visual refinements in Figma or the other way around?
Thanks 🫡
