Electronic Signature Software - SignWell Get your documents signed 40% faster with zero-setup electronic signatures. SignWell helps you cut turnaround time and makes it easy for everyone to electronically sign your documents.

Signwell.com looks decent and let's you have one template and send three contracts per month

But pretty sneaky that they charge 0.49$ per contract but the minimum amount to add your account is $50. I send out maybe 2-3 contracts per year.

Oh this actually looks really nice and very fair pricing :)

Build something silly – Anton Sten The most important thing non-technical people can do right now isn't learning about AI. It's building something with it.

I think the most interesting thing happening with AI right now isn't it replacing people. It's regular people building things.

Anton Sten – Product Designer I'm a product designer who helps teams simplify complex products and make better decisions through thoughtful, hands-on design.

28 years as a designer and I just made my first real animations using Claude Code. No After Effects, no Lottie, no developer handoff. Just describing what I wanted. The tools have finally caught up with how designers actually think.

Exit To End The final chapter of Refused.

I just backed Exit To End on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/hjp...

Wrapping up a meaningful 3.5-year chapter with Summer Health and returning to consulting.

I’m exploring new collaborations for early 2026, especially with seed and Series A teams.

Here are the highlights from my 2025:

Products People Actually Want | Anton Sten – UX Lead & Product Designer A Designer's Guide to Building Better. We're drowning in products nobody wants, built by people who never asked if they should.

Products People Actually Want just went live on Amazon.

Started as frustrated notes about watching teams build things nobody wanted. Now it's something you can leave on your desk or give to that colleague who keeps adding features instead of talking to users.

Chocken över Hatts avgång blir stötande KARIN PETTERSSON: Hatandet och hotet är en medveten politisk strategi

En jävla pangtext av @karinp.bsky.social!

www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/QMd...

Yes!

Good research doesn't ask people what to build. It uncovers what's broken.

www.antonsten.com/articles/hen...

Better questions:
- What's frustrating about your current solution?
- Tell me about the last time you struggled with this
- What workarounds have you tried?

You won't hear "faster horses." You'll hear real problems that point to actual solutions.

"If I'd asked people what they wanted, they'd have said faster horses."

This quote gets used to justify skipping user research. But the real problem is the question itself.

"What do you want?" is terrible research.

But the next phase? Tools that anticipate what you need before you've figured it out yourself.

Wrote about personalization, and where design is heading: www.antonsten.com/articles/fro...

One of my readers asked me something I hadn't put into words yet:

"How has design changed from showing what technology can do to actually serving individual needs?"

Short answer: We've moved from "look what this can do" to "here's what this can do for you."

”You’re absolutely right!”

AI will confidently fill in all the blanks in your thinking.

The problem? Those blanks are where the real design work happens.
If you don't know what your customers want, AI will happily make it up for you. That doesn't mean it's right.

Products People Actually Want | Anton Sten – UX Lead & Product Designer A Designer's Guide to Building Better. We're drowning in products nobody wants, built by people who never asked if they should.

Most “user-centered” products forget the user.

We design for personas.
We optimize for metrics.
We forget we’re building for real people.

I wrote a book to help change that.

Products People Actually Want | Anton Sten – UX Lead & Product Designer A Designer's Guide to Building Better. We're drowning in products nobody wants, built by people who never asked if they should.

I didn’t write this book because I had all the answers.

I wrote it because I kept seeing smart people build things no one needed.

Products People Actually Want is about slowing down, asking better questions, and building with care.

It’s never been easier to launch a product.
AI, no-code, tools everywhere.

But the hard part hasn’t changed:
Building something people actually want.

That’s what my new book is about.

How to stand out when anyone can build anything | Anton Sten When AI tools have democratized product creation, standing out isn't about better tools or flashier features—it's about fundamentally different skills that most people skip entirely.

How to stand out, when anyone can use AI to build anything?
For @antonsten.comSten, most people go for “how do we build this”, instead of asking “what should be built that people actually want?”. This leads to a situation, where, most new apps and products, solve, fake problems.

Thanks for sharing Stef! (seems like the mention didn't work)

How to stand out when anyone can build anything | Anton Sten When AI tools have democratized product creation, standing out isn't about better tools or flashier features—it's about fundamentally different skills that most people skip entirely.

Anyone can build an app in an afternoon now.
But people changed the question from "how do we build this?" to "what do we build next?", without asking if people actually want it.
The result? An explosion of products that work fine but solve problems that don't exist.

Yes, and which will be a better stock to own in 2-3 years?
