They actually weren't that much work - I recently found this amazing website called Lottiefiles and have been using some of the art I found there as placeholder until I had the time to custom make some of my own, and since this project was intended as an MVP, I didn't really manage to get around to doing that, but I definitely want to in the near future!

And thank you for your encouraging words! I never had any experience building webapps from scratch - I've always resorted to no-code solutions like Webflow because I'm more into design myself. Here's one of my other projects that I'm working on, which I built with Webflow, if you're interested: https://www.sedge.io/
