Your community shouldn’t disappear when the game ends.

Meet Strix: a social gaming desktop app I designed and developed, built around the way people actually hang out, play and stay connected.

• Communities, server channels and direct conversations. • Voice calls, screen sharing and a detachable stream viewer. • A game library, performance controls and games inside calls. • Nox, a contextual AI assistant woven into the experience.

The design challenge: bring this much functionality together while keeping the interface coherent, readable and quick to navigate. The engineering work connects that experience through React, TypeScript, Firebase and Electron.

Have an idea for a desktop app or community product? I’m available to help take it from product flows to a working build.

Showcase screens use demo communities and conversations.
