Day 3 of working on my project for the Lovable Challenge.

And somehow, almost one full day of those three went into the intro you see when the page first opens.

Not because it was necessary — mostly because I’ve wanted to try something like this for a long time.

Web design and development are far from my main field, so I kept putting this idea off. This challenge finally gave me a reason to test it properly — and seeing it actually work is ridiculously satisfying.

The video was converted into an image sequence and tied directly to scrolling on desktop and swiping on mobile, so the animation is controlled by the user as they move through the page.

Right now the project is already at Build 4.2.3.

The backend is working properly, the main mechanics are in place, but visually… there’s still a lot to redo. The current plan is to rebuild almost the entire visual layer before the final version.

I also found out today that Lovable reduced the number of prize spots quite significantly — apparently, there will only be 3 finalists.

That definitely makes the odds a little more painful 😅

But either way, I’m already getting a new portfolio case out of this project, and I’m finally experimenting with things I’ve wanted to build for a long time.

How’s everyone else doing?

Still working on your project, or have you already submitted it?

Or did you decide not to participate at all? If so, I’m curious — what made you skip it?

That intro effect looks sick! 🔥 By the way, I'm working on a car showroom project too, but not sure if I'll manage to finish and submit it on time. If luck is on my side, it’s going to be a really fun competition haha. Good luck!

what are your autumn goals? this little animation isn't very seasonal but i really enjoyed making it in Photoshop (I'll put a process video in the comments). i'm a month away from travelling the world, and focussing on fun, peaceful projects this season! i'm naturally a workaholic, so any tips for detaching whilst travelling would be very much appreciated. i also want to see something fun you've been working on recently! 🌸 inspo: https://x.com/peakstarwave/status/2101866417326813409 the backgrounds are cutout from a CMYK print test sheet, and the flower video is from envato.

made in Photoshop with lots of cutting out and lovely paper textures:
