Hero exploration for a dev tool. Light clarity vs dark immersion. Which feels like speed to you? Left or right? ⚡

for real, I just unlocked dark mode on my Contra account by running a little workaround with Perplexity... my night-owl eyes are very, very happy right now 🦉

since a big part of my creative work happens late at night, this feels so much better for my focus and sanity, lol

ok, @Contra HQ team, you can officially remove my dark mode feature request now...we’re all good here :)

Dark mode should honestly be a default for creator-heavy platforms. Curious what the Perplexity workaround was — CSS override or something account-level?

Imagine treating scroll like an instrument, not a wheel.

For #FigmaMakeathon I built ScrollFolio in #FigmaMake. A scroll focus portfolio where scrolling and mousing becomes navigation, pacing, and focus, with “sticky” moments that lock in and release cleanly. Also works with simple keys (← → ↑ ↓ and Spacebar) to open/close items.

I leaned into what Make is good at: fast iteration on interaction timing, responsiveness, and polish. The goal wasn’t a static layout, it was a working fast interaction that feels physical across devices in a single view. Published project on Desktop and Mobile (has it's own swipe integrations): https://scrollfolio.figma.site
