Hey Contra šš½
Many of the challenges I participated in here pushed me to start experimenting with building tools and platforms.
One of those experiments slowly turned into something bigger.
Iāve been building a social platform called Spaxis for creatives, and itās now about 90% ready.
I realized somethingā¦ as creators, our work often gets mixed in with everything else on traditional platforms,and as tools improve and creators level up, the quality of what we create is only getting better, but the platforms we use havenāt really evolved to support that. Everything still gets mixed, lost, or disconnected.
Spaxis is built for where creators are heading, a space where their work can live and connect, putting creators and their work at the center, so what we create can actually stay connected and grow.
Building it has been challenging, but now comes the interesting part, seeing how people interact with it.
The platform is currently optimized for web not mobile, and since Contra is full of curious creators who like trying new things, I figured this would be the best place to share it.
Huge thanks to Contra and YouWare for creating environments that push creators to explore, experiment, and build. This wouldnāt exist without that.
If you enjoy testing new things before theyāre polished:

Itās early, so your feedback really matters hereš
This is solid, it feels both clean and engaging. If someone wanted to create something at this level, what would you say matters most in your process?

Appreciate it, the biggest thing for me was focusing on the problem, not the build itself. Most platforms are built around attention, I wanted to build around creators actually building.
Would love to know what stood out to you.
i cannot wait to see more from this
Appreciate that Treyš š still early, but thatās what makes it exciting, If youāre open to it, Iād love for you to try it out and let me know what you think

Same data, but two very different feelings
One is dark and focused, built for athletes. The other is warm and friendly, built for everyday people
What do you think?

Option 1 gave me a very fin-tech feel and option 2 feels like my health is in danger, sorry š
Finally sharing my new portfolio website.
I wanted to build something that feels like me ā clean, interactive, and focused on the work rather than just listing skills.
Built from scratch with a focus on:
ā Clean UI
ā Smooth interactions
ā Responsive design
ā Clear project presentation
Thereās still a lot I want to improve, but after a lot of designing, tweaking, and rebuilding, Iām genuinely happy to finally put it out there.

Really like the clean approach here. The focus on showcasing the actual work makes the portfolio feel much more engaging.
š A little something Iāve been cooking recently.
Had the opportunity to work with Secret Sauce Agency on bringing their new digital experience to life.
The goal: translate a bold creative identity into a website that feels just as distinctive, combining design, motion and development into one smooth experience.
Really enjoyed bringing this one to life.
Hereās a quick look at the result š
