Comorro — Redesigning an e-commerce platform
I worked on Comorro for an external client through my role at SyncClouds. I redesigned the website from scratch and built the new interface in Next.js, giving it a consistent, modern light design.
My contribution
I handled both the desig:n and frontend implementation. I paid close attention to spacing, typography, and layout so the website matched the design across screen sizes.
The main challenge
The hardest part was managing API calls and keeping data available without requesting it repeatedly.
I used Redux to store and reuse data across the application, alongside Vercel’s SWR for fetching and caching API responses. This helped reduce unnecessary requests and made me think carefully about when to fetch fresh data and when to reuse what was already available.
I also built loading states and skeleton screens so users could see the shape of the content while it loaded, rather than being left with empty areas.
Project status
The design was completed, and the website implementation was almost finished. Payment integration was still pending when I moved on to another project at work.
The work shown here represents that stage: a completed redesign and a largely implemented website, with the payment flow unfinished.
What I learned
Comorro helped me get better at caching, managing API requests, and building thoughtful loading states. It also gave me more practice taking a design into a working application, where the details of how a page loads matter alongside how it looks.

Lovely cohesive work, Alex. The motion is spot on!
I built this speculative mineral cabinet to simulate ultraviolet fluorescence and light-wavelength transitions directly in the browser inside a clean interactive UI.
Users can flip the cabinet lamp between 5500K daylight and 365nm longwave UV to watch dull, grey stones instantly catch fire. The system catalogs seven fictional specimens from Verdigrite to Duskbloom mapping out their host lattices, trace metal activators, emission wavelengths (from 416nm cold violet to 640nm rose pink), and seam localities. If you switch the lamp back to daylight, the borrowed photon energy cuts off immediately, while specimens like Sporewort hold a brief half-second phosphorescent linger before going dark.
Everything runs on the client side using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. The stone visuals, wavelength states, and spectrum plots render locally in the browser without relying on heavy external assets or server calls. The page updates the crystal glow, the three step photon excitation breakdown, and the spectral chart in one pass. I even included a control specimen called Nullstone with zero trace activators. So when someone flips on the UV lamp, it stays completely dark and inert instead of faking a glow.
The ragebaiting part was to format and structure out the mineralogy lore and wavelength data so it felt clean and fast. Putting the activator traces, nanometer readings, and locality codes right beside each stone makes it easy to read the numbers while looking at the crystal glow. No distractions. Showing the emission spectrum chart at the bottom also helps visitors see where every specimen sits on the visible band before cutting the lamp.😊
15 seconds of smooth UI, editorial layouts, and micro-interactions.
Kept the micro-interactions snappy, typography expressive, and transitions buttery smooth.
Rate this UI animation from 1 to 10 in the comments, or tell me what you’d improve! 😉
Solid 10/10 bro! 🔥 Micro-interactions are super snappy and transitions are buttery smooth indeed. Editorial layout game is strong. Keep it up!
