Hey Contra 👋🏽
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.
I’ve been building a social platform called Spaxis for creatives, and it’s now about 90% ready.
I realized something… 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 haven’t 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 wouldn’t exist without that.
If you enjoy testing new things before they’re polished:

It’s early, so your feedback really matters here😊

Rolling dice, deploying tools, and turning projects into battlegrounds 🎮⚡
For Creative Crash, I built a neon strategy game on YouWare where design tools compete like players. You roll, move, block, and race to complete projects — blending strategy, luck, and that unpredictable creative chaos every designer knows too well.
