This website! It is my playground for trying out ideas, and right now it is very… space-y. Borderline Geocities retro. I like sci-fi, by the way.

Projects are planets that light up and pick up an orbiting moon when you hover over them, and view transitions carry each planet into its own project page. Behind it all is a retro pixel-art universe drawn by a single WebGL shader: a dithered nebula, blinking stars and slowly rotating planets that drift toward your cursor. It is built with Astro and TailwindCSS 4, deployed on Vercel.

Lessons learned so far: view transitions and z-indexes are troublesome.
