One of my earlier projects, revisited.
Still love the idea of making mobility feel calm, seamless, and human. 🚘
Thinking about turning this into a full case study.
Great use of imagery! Would like to see the full case study 👍
Is it just me, or does navigating Contra feel like running a marathon in slow motion lately? 🐌
Honestly, I thought the sluggish page loads were just a subtle nudge to get me to upgrade. “Fair enough,” I thought. “Maybe the snappy, optimised infrastructure is reserved for the Pro tier.”
So, I pulled out my card and upgraded.
Fast forward to today: I’m officially on the Pro plan, and… I’m still sitting here staring at the same endless loading states. It is way too slow. As someone who relies on digital platforms daily, I don’t think I’ve encountered this much performance friction in a long time. When you’re trying to showcase work, close deals, or just move between pages, every extra second feels like an eternity.
Is anyone else out there facing this, or is my dashboard just playing on hard mode? Let me know if it’s a widespread issue or if the performance gods are just testing my patience today. 👇
Love this!
Here’s my entry for the Contra × Melius challenge ✨
“DragonDash” — a fun animated short about a cute dragon delivery rider in a fantasy medieval world.
Built using AI storytelling, storyboarding, and cinematic visual development.
One thing I really enjoyed while using Melius was how visual and iterative the workflow felt. Being able to build and refine shots step-by-step made it much easier to shape the story, mood, and cinematic direction of the short.
