Hey! This is an article about me bootstrapping Klart.co, a bookmarking tool for designers and developers, for a year as a solo founder. I worked on it as a side project and put in on average 4 hours a day. First version (May) Last year in May I set

As I mentioned in earlier posts, traveling around Asia has made me aware of that everyone doesn't have super fast connections as we have in Sweden ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Since I wanted Klart to work well everywhere I started by making image previews lightning fast. The next step was to

This week I launched my 3rd project in 2016, Klart.co. Instead of building a bunch of features, this time I wanted to get it out there quickly. I figured that people would tell me what’s missing when they use it. What do you think happened? Well, it didn’
