Tech debt is like a credit card for your code. You take a shortcut now to ship faster, and you pay interest later in the form of slower features and more bugs.
A little is healthy for an MVP. The danger is never paying it down. Set aside one day per sprint to clean up the shortcuts that hurt most, before they compound

What if sending money felt a little more like giving a gift?
For Nova, I explored a banking app that brings payments, cards, and a bit of personality together. You can check your balance, browse recent transactions, send or request money, top up, and pay bills.
My favorite part is the digital postcard feature. Before sending a transfer, you can add a little illustrated card—a heart, a birthday greeting, or a playful character. A simple way to make birthday money or a thank-you feel more personal.
I carried that same 3D character into onboarding, pairing it with bold red gradients and large, clear payment details. There’s room for play, while the recipient and amount stay easy to check.
Would you add a postcard to a transfer? I’d love to know what occasion you’d use it for.
Login page idea design
A playful visual concept where the character literally “arms” himself depending on the strength of the password.
As the user creates a stronger password, the character progressively equips himself with more powerful protection and armor. The stronger the password, the better prepared and more protected he becomes.
The idea turns password security into a simple and engaging visual metaphor , instead of showing abstract security levels, the user can immediately see how their password makes the character stronger and safer.
Very cool, Anna!
I rebuilt the NFCtree website to match the new app.
Same colors, same fonts, same textures, from one design system.

I explored layouts in Paper first.
Looked at how Anchor, ugly.cash and Klarna handle scrolling.
Picked one.

Claude Code turned it into code.
Pushed to GitHub.
Vercel published it.

The scroll motion is CSS only.
It turns off when reduced motion is on.
