For a long time, I didn’t really post consistently.
I’d post something once in a while when I had an idea or wanted to share some work. Then nothing for a few weeks.
Having a few ready-made formats made that much easier.
This is such a practical approach. Consistency gets much easier when you reduce the friction of starting from scratch every time. Having a few solid content formats ready to go can make a huge difference.
What influenced your vote more: the layout or the photography?
Two homepage directions for the same fictional lighting studio.
I’m curious whether seeing the product up close or seeing it in a space makes you want to explore more.
Atmospheric, and it was the photography that decided it. A lamp is a product you buy for what it does to a room, so seeing the warm glow pooling across a dark surface sells the feeling before the layout even registers. Sculptural is gorgeous but shows the object, Atmospheric shows the outcome.
I’ve always liked products that solve a very specific problem instead of trying to do everything.
So for the Lovable Challenge, I picked a simple question that event-tent rental businesses hear all the time:
“Can I book a tent for my wedding?”
The problem is… a tent can’t really be booked until you know if the whole event will work.
How many guests?
How much usable space?
Tables? Dance floor? Bar? Stage?
Will the layout actually fit?
Can the crew set it up and pick it up on time?
Usually, the owner has to figure all of that out manually through messages, calls and calendar checking.
So I built TentFit — a spatial booking experience for event tent rentals.
The customer starts by planning the event, then maps out the space and everything they want inside it. TentFit checks the layout and highlights conflicts.
And instead of just saying “doesn’t fit,” it helps solve the problem:
Switch the tent. Move the layout. Remove an element.
Once everything works, TentFit checks the logistics and turns the final setup into a booking.
The goal was simple:
Make the customer’s decision easier, and make the owner’s job easier.
Teams spend weeks choosing a font and zero time defining the system around it. Scale, weight, line height, spacing, pairing rules. The font is 10% of the work. The system is what makes it usable.
