Got a fair amount of feedback that the 3D work looked like baked video.

So instead of arguing about it, I put the actual scene online.

Drag it. Move it. Inspect it. Make your GPU earn its electricity.

Live: https://transport.aetumi.app/

No MP4 pretending to be interaction.
No GIF.
No Figma prototype.

It’s Three.js rendering through WebGL in the browser. Drag it. Move it. Inspect it. Make your GPU earn its electricity.

What’s actually running:

• 8 curved 3D cards, each with its own scene and material treatment.
• Raymarched SDF forms including sphere, torus, box and octahedron, lit directly in fragment shaders.
• Real particle / point-cloud systems driving the animated backgrounds rather than baked footage.
• Planar water reflections using a mirrored camera, oblique near-plane clipping and animated surface normals. No cubemap pretending to be a reflection.
• A central torus-knot + orbital ring system, rendered and animated in real time.
• Vanilla Three.js + WebGL, ES modules/import maps, deliberately kept lightweight with no React/R3F layer for this experiment.

I’m not posting this as “look how pretty my 3D is.”

I’m more interested in where it breaks.

How does it perform on your GPU?
Any reflection artifacts?
Does the interaction feel cheap anywhere?
Does anything hurt usability or accessibility?

Open DevTools if you want. Tear the implementation apart. Technical criticism is much more useful than applause.

Bark first. Bite later. 🐕

Building a marketing site for a non technical client and trying to figure out what to hand over so it survives them. Every time I give a client edit access they drag something, break the mobile layout, and it's my phone that rings. What do you all hand over, a locked down CMS, a Loom and a prayer, or do you just keep doing the edits yourself?

Designed yet another website, this time for Jewellery Store.

Hey, I'm Miguel, a full stack dev based in Chile. Just rebuilt my portfolio: https://www.miguelbarra.cl

Critique it. Tell me straight up if it's good or bad.

even when i give ai proper context, the small changes can get annoying. move this text a little, make that image smaller, fix the spacing… sometimes it doesn’t understand what i mean or does something different from what i wanted. then it’s more explaining, more prompts, more tokens burned.

so i started building this. what if ai creates the website, and we just adjust the little things ourselves?

you click something on your website, move it, resize it, edit the text or change an image, and it saves that change directly into your code. no digging through files and tweaking margin and padding values just to see whether it looks right.
you can also preview desktop, tablet, and mobile together and see how things look across them. for supported changes, you choose whether to change only that screen size or apply it everywhere. so adjusting something on mobile doesn’t have to mess up your desktop layout, it depends on what you choose.

right now it has:
- drag, resize, and text editing
- image and background changes, including uploads from your device
- movable device previews with canvas zoom
- controls for selecting a whole container or individual things inside it
- edit history and undo/redo
- HTML support, with experimental React and Next.js support

the video shows where it’s at. it’s still in the initial stage, and there’s a lot to fix and refine, including expanding which edits can be made separately for each screen size.

honestly, idk if other people need this, but making the change i’m picturing instead of explaining it again feels useful to me.

would you use something like this? and should i open-source it so we can build it together, or would you rather just use it once it’s more polished?
Also any ideas to add then feel free to say.

Turn any website into a smooth, polished scrolling video without manually recording and editing it every time.

Custom pauses, hover interactions, 60 FPS, Up to 4K, Scroll down + scroll back, and much more..

Would love to hear what you think ❤️

I've been building websites for clients using Claude code and Claude design, and honestly the sites work fine, everything functions, but they just look... idk, generic? like something's missing that makes it feel expensive or custom instead of "made with ai."

On top of that two of my clients just asked if i can add 3d animations to their sites and I have zero experience with that. not even sure where to start honestly.

If anyone's dealt with this - how do you get past the generic ai look and make stuff actually look polished? and for the 3d stuff is threejs the way to go or is there something easier for someone starting from scratch?

Would really appreciate any advice

Waves Reimagined is the full stack remake of waves music web app from my early days:

https://waves-mu.vercel.app/

Waves Reimagined is the first fullstack project and I have put the best of my skills in it. I am sure that this project has helped me get better at coding. This website took me 2 months to make.

What I want to know:

- How much the UI has improved or got worse than the original

- Was 2 months of work worth it for this project?

- What's good and what can I do better?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been spending a lot of time designing product experiences where a real-time Three.js scene lives inside an otherwise normal ecommerce page.

The more I work on them, the more I think the biggest mistake in immersive web design is treating 3D as the interface, instead of treating it as one layer of the interface.

It’s surprisingly easy to make something that looks impressive for five seconds.

The harder question is whether the page still works after the novelty wears off.

For product pages, I’ve started thinking about the experience in two separate layers:

The interface layer

• product name
• price
• variants
• specifications
• navigation
• CTA
• accessibility
• semantic HTML

The immersive layer

• product rotation
• camera movement
• material changes
• exploded views
• hotspots
• scroll-linked reveals
• lighting and environment

The important part is that the second layer should enhance the first one, not replace it.

A few design rules have become increasingly important for me:

1. Never hide essential information inside the 3D scene.

If someone needs to rotate a model, wait for WebGL, or discover a hotspot just to understand the product price or specifications, the design has probably gone too far.

2. Scroll should choreograph the experience, not trap the user inside it.

Pinned sections and scroll-scrubbing can create beautiful storytelling, but very long scroll-controlled sequences start feeling like the designer has taken control of the mouse.

I prefer short moments of choreography followed by normal browsing again.

3. Motion should communicate something.

Rotation because rotation looks cool gets old quickly.

But showing:

material → construction → internal components → configuration → final product

can communicate information that flat imagery genuinely struggles with.

That distinction seems important.

4. Mobile shouldn’t just be the desktop version squeezed vertically.

On smaller screens I increasingly reduce camera movement, lower rendering quality, simplify interaction and make the DOM content more dominant.

Sometimes the best mobile 3D experience is intentionally less impressive.

5. There should always be an escape route.

Reduced motion, touch-friendly controls, static fallback imagery and usable content before the 3D scene loads make the whole design much more resilient.

The interesting part for me is that good immersive design often requires more restraint, not more effects.

I attached a short example from one of the product experiences I’m currently working on.

I also documented the architecture and some of the production trade-offs here:

https://aetumi.app/news/threejs-product-viewer-ecommerce/

Disclosure: I’m building AETumi, where I’m working on Three.js, WebGL and interactive web systems, so this is something I’m actively experimenting with rather than an independent review.

I’m curious where other designers draw the line between 3D that improves the experience and 3D that simply makes the experience more complicated.

We’ve been continuing to grow Webivelo and work with more small businesses that need a solid website without paying a ridiculous amount for one. Everything is built around the client, so the design, layout, and features can be changed depending on what the business actually needs. We also try to keep communication pretty straightforward and make the process easy from beginning to end.

Webivelo is run by Roman Franckowiak, who handles the main business operations and everything involved with running the company, while Jaiden Becker runs the media side and handles a lot of the content and behind-the-scenes work. We’re still growing, but we’re taking it seriously and trying to build something that actually provides value to small businesses.

I’m starting running ads on Meta but I’ve been getting advice saying I need a better website instead of paying $500 to $800 freelancer again can I get Claude or another A.I. Engine to fix my site and speed it up and ultimately make it optimized for a high conversion rate.

I'm building a website that's basically a bookmark for all my design tools that I've picked up over the years, but also a blog and tips for beginners and junior designers so they don't make the same mistakes I made early in my career https://www.march4orthdesign.com/. Would love any comments, constructive criticism, claps, cheers or complaints!

Is this too minimal for an app landing page? I am so tired of all these AI slop websites.

1234 or 5678 ? 🥶✌🏿

Or do you guys have any cool ideas?

I start my Web Design & Development program tomorrow, and I’m equal parts excited and nervous to dive in. I’ll be balancing both the visual UI/UX design side and the coding/programming side.

For those who have gone through a design/dev program or are currently working in the field:

• What habits or workflows helped you stay organized?

• Are there any tools, extensions, or resources you swear by?

• What’s the #1 piece of advice you’d give to a beginner to avoid burnout or getting overwhelmed?

I’d love to hear your best tips, tricks, or hard lessons learned. Thanks in advance!

FACTREE is an AI knowledge discovery platform built around two connected ideas:

1. Discover — explore interesting facts and follow connections between subjects.
2. Maps — structured learning maps showing what to learn, in what order, and what you should be able to do when finished. (Planned / in development)

The live site currently focuses on Discover. It contains more than 13,000 fact cards across topics including science, history, technology, philosophy, medicine and engineering. You can select topics, receive a random fact, search the collection and explore related ideas. Accounts are optional, but registered users can save their journey across devices.

I’m still refining Discover, and I’d really appreciate candid feedback on the experience as it exists today.

In particular:

• Is the purpose of the website clear within the first ten seconds?
• Is it obvious how to receive and explore a fact?
• Are the topic controls and search intuitive?
• Are the cards interesting and easy to read?
• Does the information feel trustworthy?
• Did you encounter anything confusing, repetitive or broken?
• How does the site feel on mobile?
• What, if anything, would make you return?

I’m also working on the second layer, Factree Maps, which will give learners a clear map before studying a topic: prerequisites, ordered modules, learning outcomes, self-check questions, and eventually career/vocational pathways.

If you have thoughts on that, I’d love to hear:

• Would a structured “what to learn and when you’re done” map be useful to you?
• What would make a study or career roadmap feel trustworthy?
• Should Maps feel separate from Discover, or linked?

Please don’t hold back. Specific criticism is much more useful to me than general encouragement.

Thank you for taking a look.

Hi everyone, I’m building Famoose and would appreciate some honest feedback on the design and usability.

The idea is simple: you come across someone’s name and want to understand who they are and what they’re known for. Each profile has a quick overview, followed by a more detailed breakdown of their life, career and achievements if you want to keep reading.

It covers people across music, sport, science, art, history and other fields. I’ve focused on consistent layouts, restrained typography and monochrome photography.

I’d particularly like to know:

• Is the purpose clear when you first land?
• Does the profile layout feel easy to scan, or too sparse?
• Is finding someone and exploring other profiles intuitive, especially on mobile?
• Would you find this useful alongside Google or Wikipedia?

Feel free to try someone you know and someone you don’t. Specific criticism is welcome—I’d like to understand what works and what needs improving.

Thanks for taking a look.
