I've never really tried to do empty states nicely.

Found this good example.

Most of the time I just put text like this.

![My terrible version of empty states, by just showing a text](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/ff/19ff0f2b-7d87-4f38-8a35-910b9e637720/content/images/2026/09/Screenshot-2026-08-21-at-6.11.13---PM-1.png)

bad example

"No watever.... found"

I like the idea of an icon and the button below it.

It's funny to see how little I thought about the first screen that users see. 

First impressions must've been pretty bad lol.
