I built Bottled Story, a custom WordPress web app where people record and preserve personal memories as text, photos, audio and video, then "cork" them onto their own shelf.
I designed the logo and interface in Figma, then built it with custom post types, the REST API, Cloudflare R2 storage and GSAP animations. The goal was to make something deeply personal feel warm and simple rather than technical.
corking memories onto a personal shelf is a really warm metaphor david. pairing headless wordpress with cloudflare r2 keeps it surprisingly snappy.
Thank you Benjamin,
the cork feature really shaped most of the design decisions on this project, so I'm glad it came through. I didn't go headless on this one, wordpress still handles the templates and the apis powering the features. And I totally agree, integrating R2 was a big advantage right from the start for this project.

A very elaborate app study is out, I share my entire process and a lot of fun UI details along the way! Done this for https://nurtureplus.app/
My kids loves Block Blast, so I decided to try making my own version for them.
It's not perfect but it was a fun experiment. My kids weren't impressed. Tough crowd.
Kids are the harshest QA you can hand a puzzle game to, and they reject on feel long before they reject on difficulty. Most homemade Block Blast clones get the rules right and still feel wrong, because the piece follows the finger instead of the grid and the snap lands late....
