Undertone: an animated background generator that exports to Next.js and drops onto your website in seconds ✨
I built Undertone, a website background generator.
A background is the undertone of a website, the texture and feeling underneath it all.
I got tired of coding them and burning through AI credits without getting the result I wanted. They all end up looking the same, and tiny details like the speed and the pauses are hard to change.
So I built Undertone: pick a feeling, customize everything, draw your own, then export straight to Next.js and drop it into your site in seconds. It's just text, so it stays light and loads fast.
Built in Figma Make for #ConfigMakeathon ✨

Exporting as plain text for performance is the right call. Most animated background solutions are either canvas-heavy or webGL and they kill Lighthouse scores. The 'pick a feeling' framing is also a smarter entry point than asking users to pick an effect type.
Spent almost the entire day working on my portfolio today 😅
This time, I decided to build it in Notion instead of relying solely on Behance. One thing I really enjoy is the flexibility - I can organize projects into categories, add information about my services, work process, pricing, and make navigation much easier for potential clients.
It feels less like a gallery of projects and more like a space where clients can quickly understand who I am, how I work, and whether we're a good fit.
The portfolio is still a work in progress and I'll continue improving it, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Have you ever used a Notion portfolio? Do you find this format comfortable and easy to navigate? Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ✨
wooow I love your works and profile sooo much! 😍
still working on my personal portfolio landing pages, should be a big update soon... ╰(*°▽°*)╯
