Cover image for I got tired of two
I got tired of two things: the nightly "what should I watch?" paralysis across a dozen streaming apps, and rating systems where a single score doesn't really tell you enough about a film. So I built Quartile (quartilefilm.io (http://quartilefilm.io)), a film discovery and rating platform. The core idea: instead of one ambiguous score, every film is broken into the five elements that actually matter — Plot, Acting (Narration for docs), Cinematography, Novelty, and Ending — each scored on a 1–4 scale: Well Below Average, Below Average, Above Average, Well Above Average. There's deliberately no neutral "average" middle — it forces you to actually take a position on each category instead of lazily defaulting everything to the middle, which keeps the ratings honest. Those five combine into a consistent score out of 10, but you can also see what each category scored, which helps you understand why a film is rated what it is. Sometimes a movie is really good but the ending or the acting is terrible, so the overall score isn't that high — and without the Quartile system you'd have no way to know that, because a single number can't tell you. That's exactly why I built it: I wanted to know why a film was rated what it was. Essentially it's a formula and some real quality control for how a film gets rated. The coolest part is it lets you filter in really cool ways. You can filter by Top in any category — so Top Cinematography shows only films rated Well Above Average (4) there. Top Novelty is one of my favorites, and one of the most unique filters we offer. You can also stack these with genre — so Top Novelty in horror, or Top Cinematography in sci-fi — which is where it gets genuinely useful for finding something specific to your mood. On top of the rating system you can log films you've seen, build and share playlists, and follow other users to see what they're watching. The same way you follow friends with good taste in music to find new songs on Spotify, film is a matter of taste too — you can follow friends with good taste in certain genres to find movies you'll actually like. It's in beta right now. Would love feedback from this crowd and general thoughts. Of course I'd be stoked if you made a profile and started rating movies and building playlists too — I'm going to grandfather in the first active users and give them something really cool on their profile eventually to mark that they were one of the first Quartile users.

Cover image for Most sites tell you they're
Most sites tell you they're premium. Almost none of them make you feel it. I spent the last stretch building thirteen concept sites chasing that difference, and the thing that kept proving itself is that the feeling comes from motion you control, not motion you watch. Four are real-time 3D in the browser. A crystalline brand hero turning under studio lighting, a perfume landing lit entirely by a real HDRI environment, a neural field of instanced particles for an AI product, an architectural monolith that reveals itself out of near-black. The other nine are scroll-scrubbed video, where you drag a whiskey pour or open a box or drive into a sunrise at whatever pace you want. The visitor is the animator, which is a very different thing from watching an autoplay loop. I design it, build it, and ship it myself, so there's no handoff where the feeling leaks out between the mockup and the browser. Two things I learned that I'd want someone else to know. If you light a translucent material without a real environment map, your scene renders black. Lighting is not polish you add at the end, it's a design decision you make first, before you have anything to look at. And if you want video to scrub frame for frame off scroll position with no stutter, re-encode it all keyframe. Every frame becomes a seek target. Most people fight that stutter in JavaScript when the fix lives in the encode. Who it actually serves is anyone selling on craft rather than spec. Fragrance, architecture, spirits, dev tools. The interaction buys a few more seconds of attention right where the headline and the call to action live, and those seconds are usually the whole game. All thirteen are live and interactive, and labeled as concepts because that's what they are. Still chewing on one thing. Where's the line where motion stops serving the brand and becomes the thing people remember instead of the brand? https://xkaii.studio/ui-ux-designs/
