Rebuilding Norte after hitting 100+ users .

For the past few weeks, I've been watching users use Norte and taking notes. Learned where they clicked, what they expected, what was confusing...

Then I hired a UX designer to rebuild the interface. We aligned it with patterns users already know from banking/fintech apps. For example, tap card → modal opens with details and actions.

What we learned:

• Users don't want to learn your interface, they want their existing mental models to work

• Fintech patterns (card tap interactions, modal overlays) aren't optional, they're expected

• Watching one person struggle tells you more than 50 survey responses

For other fintech builders: Where do you look for UX inspo for your tool? What have been your best bets?
