Humans in Reykjavík who got tired of watching tourists make the same expensive mistakes.
Steinar
Developer
Writes the code. Translates "make it feel cosier" into working software. Has not yet been driven to drink.
Orri
Product
Product designer with a Spotify, Nespresso and IKEA résumé that's frankly insulting to the rest of us.
Stefania
Content
Gen Z. Helps us stay relevant. Shoots the videos, takes the photos, and patiently explains TikTok to the rest of us.
Hugleikur
Design
One of Iceland's best-known cartoonists. Drew the look, sketched every icon, set the comic tone. Every illustration in the app is his.
Rakel
Vibe manager
Manages Hugleikur, which technically qualifies her to manage anyone. Vibes have improved measurably since she joined.
