@LottieFiles hit me up to create five animations using their new Lottie Creator - an SVG animation tool with state machine capabilities, giving you the ability to make your animations interactive.
First one's a gradient stress test 🌈 I wanted to create a glass sphere that actually feels dimensional, with color shifting inside and outside as it rolls 🔮
Vector-based gradients are usually where things get messy - flat colors, harsh transitions, zero depth. So I layered multiple blurred color fields with varying transparencies to fake that soft, glowing quality you'd normally only get from raster work.
I’ve been razzmatazzing and flibbertigibbeting with Claude Code and somehow ended up with a new yels.dev.
It finally feels like me: simple on the surface, slightly complicated underneath, and very much alive.
You can see who I am, what I do, the work behind Herodot, RaptorLabs, CyberLink Security and Solmint, plus a selection of projects I’ve built across AI, cybersecurity, Web3, product systems, education, archives, and experimental digital spaces.
The simple-on-the-surface, layered-underneath idea comes through so clearly in the presentation. I especially like how the project archive turns the site into something to explore rather than just a résumé of links.
