I deleted the "Seen" label from my own app.
A tick says you're watched. A face says someone showed up. So I swapped one for the other.
No light mode either. Trust is built in 2 seconds, not 2 minutes.
500 users. Zero ads. All word of mouth.
If your product has a retention problem, it's usually psychology, not features.
Open to a few freelance projects. DMs open.
This is clean and beautifully

Brilliant work! I'm testing it now!
I always give a client at least two options, whatever the task.
Each one packs in as many small tweaks as possible: color, size, count, or position of elements. So the client can either pick a finished version, or mix and match by telling me which element they like from each.
Example on an app icon below.
Which one do you prefer?

Working on a minimal furniture shopping app today.
A few things I focused on:
- Creating a clean and premium visual experience.
- Letting the product be the hero instead of the UI.
- Using soft, neutral colours to create a warm feel.
- Keeping the layouts simple and easy to scan.
- Designing a smooth flow from onboarding to product details.
- Paying attention to spacing, typography, and small details.
I believe good design isn't about adding more.
It's about making every element feel intentional.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Feedback is always appreciated.
Great hierarchal structure 👌✨️
