Do you actually own your website?
Many devs set up the domain, hosting, code and Stripe under their own logins, so the owner gets locked out later.
Do this instead:
1. Domain in your name and email
2. GitHub repo you own, dev invited
3. You create hosting and Stripe, then invite the dev
4. One list of logins and renewal dates
Save this before your next project.
Great work

I built this project to test Pixel studio with a playable COIN DASH arcade cab. Spriteworks is a tiny studio making pixel-perfect games with heart. Play our catalogue, meet the team of two, and press start. The core engineering challenge was sustaining uncompromised 60 FPS rendering using Canvas2D while handling continuous user interaction without framework overhead.
WHAT I WAS TESTING:
I focused on two core engineering benchmarks:
Precision implementation of pixel art under continuous interactive user input
Sustained 60 FPS render performance and zero-dependency browser execution
THE TECHNICAL SIDE:
Engineered directly in the browser with Canvas2D, Pixel art. The application runs without third-party frameworks or build-step dependencies, using hardware-accelerated rendering and custom event loops to achieve zero-latency response.
Everything executes in the browser using Canvas2D, Pixel art. No third-party frameworks, no heavy runtime bundles, and zero external tracking.
WHAT I LEARNED:
Balancing the mathematical rigors of pixel art with tactile browser interaction required tuning event throttling and memory allocation to eliminate all garbage collection stutters.
Finding the sweet spot between mathematical precision and frame budget took careful profiling, but the result runs at a steady 60 FPS even on modest hardware.
TRY IT YOURSELF:
The live build is deployed on my JSFiddle. Open it in your browser, test the controls, and observe the render response times.

A generative ambient station of drones, rain, and distant thunder.
I built this project to test A generative ambient station of drones, rain, and distant thunder. The core engineering challenge was sustaining uncompromised 60 FPS rendering using Web Audio API while handling continuous user interaction without framework overhead.
WHAT I WAS TESTING:
I focused on two core engineering benchmarks:
Continuous algorithmic generative music that never repeats, with sub-bass drone layers
Atmospheric rain, vinyl static, and distant thunder audio synthesis
THE TECHNICAL SIDE:
Built entirely with native Web Audio AudioNodes. Oscillators tuned to just-intonation intervals modulate lowpass filters, while brownian noise generates random rain and thunder rumbles.
Everything executes in the browser using Web Audio API, Generative Ambient Synthesis, Binaural Noise Engine. No third-party frameworks, no heavy runtime bundles, and zero external tracking.
WHAT I LEARNED:
Audio clipping easily occurs when multiple generative sound layers peak concurrently. Implementing a master dynamics compressor node preserved acoustic clarity.
Finding the sweet spot between mathematical precision and frame budget took careful profiling, but the result runs at a steady 60 FPS even on modest hardware.

AX Creative | A city that builds itself as you scroll.
What if an agency website didn't just talk about building, but actually built something?
A homepage redesign concept for AX Creative, a growth agency operating across Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur.
Their philosophy is simple: "We don't run campaigns. We build."
I took that literally.
As you scroll, a wireframe Melbourne rises into view. The sun moves from dawn to golden hour. Each section unfolds like an architectural drawing, turning the homepage into a living blueprint.
Designed and developed in Webflow with GSAP. Oversized Archivo typography, IBM Plex Mono annotations, a single sun-yellow accent, a live solar HUD, and a glowing masterplan bring the concept together.
The idea was to make the agency's positioning something visitors experience, not just read.

Taking "we build" literally with a city that rises as you scroll is a great concept. Dawn to golden hour as you go is a nice detail.
