So yep, calmer templates are joining aftrglo too ✨
Quiet motion is often what makes an interface feel polished. I like the shift toward calmer templates that support the work instead of competing with it.
Calmer templates joining the lineup feels like a smart complement if the rest of aftrglo leans loud. What's been the response so far, are people gravitating toward the quieter option more than you expected?
Playing around with SaaS motion using Claude + After Effects + Higgsfield.
Just started experimenting with smooth movements, little bounces, and some morphing techniques.
Still figuring things out, but this workflow is pretty interesting. If this keeps working, making a full explainer video might not take a whole week anymore. 😄
Designed the landing page and dashboard preview for Thaw — an AI platform that tracks anxiety, mood, and burnout, framing emotional buildup as frost that gradually melts through guided sessions.
Mental health apps tend to land in one of two places: too clinical to feel human, or too soft to feel like it takes anything seriously. So the whole design leans on one strong metaphor instead — a head encased in melting ice — and lets oversized typography wrap directly around it for real visual weight.
Below the hero, the dashboard preview does the harder work: mood stability, anxiety signals, sleep quality, and a specific AI-detected insight that makes the product feel genuinely perceptive rather than generic.
A warm dark palette with cool blue type keeps the tone serious without tipping into heavy.
