  • The Forties
    Dec 12 2025

    Benedikt turns a year older. Benedicte moves forward despite the curveballs.

    Benedikt took a week off work to celebrate his 40th birthday. He spent his birthday week with a few parties with family and friends, and seeing two concerts. On the work front, he and the team built a Snowflake integration. And with the ETL infrastructure now in place, this potentially opens doors for other integrations.

    Despite another major extended family upheaval, Benedicte carries on by going on morning walks and focusing on her projects. She recently shipped the new Framer plugin version, made demos, and is planning to get the documentation for the plugin.

    Benedikt and Benedicte talk about books, how fast the internet is breaking nowadays, and more.

    Mentioned on the show:

    • Surrounded by Idiots – a book by Thomas Erikson
    • Antifragile – a book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
    • Nonviolent Communication – a book by B. Marshall Rosenberg

  • Proxy Measures
    Nov 13 2025

    Benedicte and Benedikt talk about daily walks, measuring by proxy, and the challenges of recording short and succinct screencasts.

    At Userlist, Benedikt’s team launched a Posthog integration and new segment templates to improve onboarding. He’s also experimenting with recording different formats for the video challenge.

    Benedicte recovers from the flu and starts morning walks to boost focus. She is building Framer + Outseta demos that attract new users, exploring how designers use AI features in Framer and Webflow, and preparing to relaunch her “Let It Snow” script for the holidays.

    Benedicte is thinking of making mini-SaaSes in Framer with Outseta that will showcase the tool’s functionalities. Inspired by last week’s recording, she officially joins the video challenge and plans to make them about Framer + Outseta.
