📘 First read of 2026: Show Your Work
One big lesson from Q4 2025: showing your work actually works.
I started posting more consistently - WIPs, small explorations, and lessons learned. Nothing perfect, just progress.
That led to more visibility, better conversations, and a client discovering my work and hiring me.
So this year, I’m doubling down on building in public and sharing the process as I go.
If you’ve been waiting for things to be “perfect,” this is your sign to start.

Day 3 of working on my project for the Lovable Challenge.
And somehow, almost one full day of those three went into the intro you see when the page first opens.
Not because it was necessary — mostly because I’ve wanted to try something like this for a long time.
Web design and development are far from my main field, so I kept putting this idea off. This challenge finally gave me a reason to test it properly — and seeing it actually work is ridiculously satisfying.
The video was converted into an image sequence and tied directly to scrolling on desktop and swiping on mobile, so the animation is controlled by the user as they move through the page.
Right now the project is already at Build 4.2.3.
The backend is working properly, the main mechanics are in place, but visually… there’s still a lot to redo. The current plan is to rebuild almost the entire visual layer before the final version.
I also found out today that Lovable reduced the number of prize spots quite significantly — apparently, there will only be 3 finalists.
That definitely makes the odds a little more painful 😅
But either way, I’m already getting a new portfolio case out of this project, and I’m finally experimenting with things I’ve wanted to build for a long time.
How’s everyone else doing?
Still working on your project, or have you already submitted it?
Or did you decide not to participate at all? If so, I’m curious — what made you skip it?
Definitely the new one. Seems more fluid and easier to interact with
From problem to polished product.
I started by identifying the UX problems, then refined the same product through better structure, hierarchy, spacinga navigation, and interactions making the experience clearersimpler, and easier to use.
