Someone trying Perspecto asked for curved monitor mockups.
The first version was a CSS trick: squeeze the image, darken the edges, add a soft highlight. It shipped in under a day and looked right straight on. Turn the mockup and it fell apart.
So I rebuilt it as real geometry. The image now wraps onto a slice of a cylinder, and the edges bow correctly from any angle, in the editor and in every export.
Quick first version, then go back and do it properly. perspecto.io
Quick first version, then go back and do it properly is a whole philosophy in one line. The cylinder slice approach is clearly the right call, the flat version falling apart at any other angle is exactly the kind of thing that erodes trust in a mockup tool. Was the rebuild...
Mostly the math. The UI barely changed, it’s still one slider. The hard part was keeping it the same everywhere: in the editor the screen is about 48 thin strips placed in 3D, and the PNG, SVG and video exports all use that same curve so nothing drifts.
The surprise was the back....
Side by side, the curved version is clearly better. Good call going back to redo it.
Thanks Rafee! Do you do much mockup work for your own projects? Always curious what people still find missing in these tools.

This is so satisfying Raheel! 🔥 You nailed that tactile UI motion - 16 seconds but it feels so premium! The spatial audio card with that depth + smooth transition from Home to Made for Spatial Audio is chef's kiss. Minimalism stretched perfectly without losing the Apple Music...
GoVista Journeys - A travel landing page designed to make people dream of their next destination.
A travel company based in Leicester, UK, needed a visually engaging landing page to showcase its destinations and travel experiences while its larger website was being prepared.
The goal was simple: make a strong first impression through beautiful travel imagery, a clean layout, and a design that makes people want to explore more.
Because in travel, the journey can begin long before the booking. ✈️
