THE IDEA

Our own little universe.

A personal landing page for Faqih and Shinta, pairing a playable star field with shared memories. Two luminous spiral galaxies surround ivory typography on a dark, fullscreen canvas.

WHAT I BUILT

Make the stars a place to play.

Built a Three.js particle scene with spring physics, gravity, and release-triggered shockwaves. A triple activation of the names opens an eight-photo slideshow, while a discreet corner button opens a password-gated menu for related personal projects. Self-hosted typography, capped rendering costs on phones, and static fallbacks support the experience across devices.

  • Two interactive spiral galaxies with pointer-driven gravity, drag-to-gather stars, and release shockwaves.
  • Keyboard and touch controls with a reset action to restore the particle scene.
  • Eight-photo memory slideshow with soft crossfades, autoplay, pause, keyboard navigation, and swipe controls.
  • A hidden menu with a server-side password check and shortcuts to related projects.
  • Reduced-motion support, a static SVG fallback, and animation that pauses in hidden tabs.
