The first version wasn’t good enough. Start again.

The feedback on the first site was blunt. It didn’t look good enough. A moving object and a few floating labels weren’t a point of view.

This rebuild starts with a different question: what should this place feel like before anyone clicks anything?

A workshop, not a menu in space

The answer is a place where things are being made. Dark olive-black surfaces, warm paper type, safety orange, and a structure caught between demolition and assembly.

The sculpture is the atmosphere. The interface does the explaining. Portfolio, Blog, and Tutorials stay visible as ordinary links, with a clear introduction and a reason to keep scrolling.

Keep one strong idea

The new monument is a hollow stack of 144 fragments. Each fragment knows its home position and its direction of travel. An orange course ties the pieces together visually, even when the structure opens up.

No imported 3D asset. No random decorative galaxy. Just a material, a structure, and the process of pulling it apart.

The quiet work

There’s a pause button. Reduced-motion preferences are respected. The rendering loop stops on reading pages and when the canvas leaves view. The content still works when WebGL doesn’t.

These choices are part of the design. A living homepage doesn’t need to compete with a paragraph you’re trying to read.

What comes next

Use the workshop. Publish the actual work, add useful tutorials, and let the journal document the decisions. Keep the unfinished pieces honest: external channels are placeholders until there’s a real place to send someone.
