Have you ever wanted to send hidden, personal notes to friends that feel far more special than plain text?
For this year’s Config Makeathon, I built Secret Letter Workshop — a web-based cipher workspace to write, encrypt and decode private parchment-style messages.
More than a regular encryption tool, it is a fun space for people to create and share private messages together.
Two ways to create your secret note
🔹 Pre-built cipher presets: 5 ready-to-use encryption algorithms. Pick one instantly to encode and decode your secret messages without setup.
🔹 Custom cipher builder: Design your unique encoding & decoding logic from scratch, fully tailor the secret rule to your own exclusive symbol system.
Where you can use it in daily life
🔸 Pass private little notes to close friends without anyone else reading them
🔸 Hide soft personal thoughts inside your digital journal, locked behind simple cipher logic
🔸 Write hidden surprise notes for birthdays, anniversaries and meetups
🔸 Create exclusive coded messages for small friend meetups or trip group chats

P.S. they've gone through several site restructures since then (so it looks different from my snapshots), but it goes to show how easy Framer makes it for clients to manage and update their site independently.
One of the directions I explored for Kargen. It didn't make the final cut, but I think it holds up. We decided to go totally different route.
Kargen is an AI that books freight on its own. It reads the email, quotes the load, and books the truck, day or night. The brand had to feel as fast as the product, but calm with the pace.
