Benedicte takes a trip down memory lane. The Userlist team wraps up the redesign project.

While writing the newsletter edition focusing on Omway, Benedicte stumbled across old photos from when she worked on a demo called Oslo Stories. On the work front, Outseta’s MCP server is now an npm package that can be used with Cursor, Claude, and more.

The Userlist team has been in full crunch mode these past few days to get everything polished for the September 9th launch. Benedikt also figured out the solution to a database performance issue.

The Pirate family searches for family-product fit. Benedikt shuts down his first SaaS product.

The Userlist team makes more progress on their app and website redesign project, which will be shipped a couple of weeks from now. And after running it for 10 years, Benedikt has made the decision to shut down his very first SaaS product.

Despite feeling a little blah about the tech industry, Benedicte was able to code for fun again by testing out Laravel for Whee’s log in page. She and Ola are also digging into their old product ideas, using their family-product fit approach to figure out what’s actually worth pursuing.

Two weeks after jumping ship, the Pirate family have made new plans and are enjoying different activities. On the work front, Benedicte did a solid week of AI work for Outseta, and she and Ola are revisiting their old SaaS ideas.

The Userlist team’s redesign project is coming along nicely, with Benedikt focusing on the redesign of the website. They also brought back their co-working sessions so he and Jane can get more stuff done.

Benedicte and the Pirate family have new summer plans. Benedikt deals with a number of things before his vacation. 

After sailing for 11 days, Benedicte and the Pirate family decided to jump ship because of a misalignment in expectations. Now back in Oslo, the family looks forward to a fun summer of chillaxing at home, doing work on Galleon, and more.

Benedikt and the Userlist team are quite busy these days: polishing the redesign, dealing with more technical tickets, and dealing with some database performance issues. He also shares how Stripe’s complexity is making it hard to move forward with their billing code.

Just two weeks away from their great sailing adventure, Benedicte and the Pirate family are busy packing their stuff as contractors will do renovations on their home within the 11 weeks.

Benedikt and the Userlist team has made good progress on their big UI redesign project. And to address one of their customer’s needs, they are also working on a feature for array filters.

The Userlist team is undertaking their next big project. The Pirate family spends a nice vacation at the cabin.

Keeping up with their quarterly planning, Benedikt and the Userlist team have decided on their big project for the second quarter: the UI redesign. Feeling excited and a bit nervous about the project, Benedikt hopes that doing it in phases will keep it from exploding into a huge project.

Benedicte and her Pirate family spent a nice vacation at the cabin during Easter and also doing some maintenance work. Work wise, the team at Outseta is currently doing paid search experiments to track where first touch referrals are coming from. Benedicte and Ola are also planning to do interviews with potential customers for Galleon.

Benedikt and Benedicte share how they’re leveraging AI to help with their current projects.

For their Galleon Gateway project, Benedicte’s been working with Claude to come up with a Laravel implementation that she can feed to Cursor. While it’s going well for a couple of her projects, here’s one thing that AI can’t help with just yet: time zone bugs.

Benedikt gave AI another try to help with the revamp of their Python library. While it turned out nice after a lot of revisions, he also ended up reading Python documentation to write better prompts. They’ve also just beta launched their transactional emails at Userlist.

Benedicte and Benedikt also talk about AI overviews, April Fool’s pranks, and more.
