Be there. Letโs build the future together.
https://t.co/4Orh6qo2vL home page hero โจ
Design notes:
- "Forever" hero text dot pixel FX done in @hiunicornstudio. (I will do a whole tutorial on this later. Unicorn's WebGL engine is absolutely wild and very powerful / robust)
- built in @framer
- I wanted to recreate the iOS unlock effect where your home screen icons cascade into place in a beautifully timed choreography. This took a lot of careful timing using @framer's "Appear" effect on the hero text and surrounding avatars because it was super important that we didn't lose the legibility of our main message ("Build Your Forever Audience") with all the animations.
- If you look closely, the choreography is setup to lead your eye through the hero text first starting with "Build Your" then "Forever" and finally "Audience."
- With those text layers in place + the surrounding avatars, there is a slight 1 sec pause before the remaining elements slide in below and above (How it works, CTA buttons, announcement badge, and lastly the main nav).
- All told the entire loading sequence is 6 seconds
- Custom particle system powers the interactive star field (the stars slowly gravitate to your pointer position, and the star field perspective changes ever so subtly as you move your mouse around on the page)
- I have 3 shooting stars made of small white line layers that start out off canvas rotated at different angles that shoot across to another point off canvas at random times on a loop effect.
- Given this hero scene is in space, I wanted the surrounding avatar elements to "float" in low gravity mode. For this I used Framer's loop effect that slowly oscillates the layer's y position. I then offset the delay of each element randomly to stagger the floating loop so each avatar floats independently/randomly
- The final major treatment for this hero scene was the scroll animations on the avatars. I wanted to create a bit of a warp speed effect when you scroll down, as if the avatars were being pulled or sucked into a worm hole as you scroll down below this hero fold.
- To accomplish this, I applied @framer's scroll transform affect set to "section in view" on each of the floating avatars, and set the "scroll to" position of the upper avatars to be much, much further away on the y-axis than the "scroll to" position of the lower avatars. (eg. -1700px on upper most avatars vs. -600px on lowest positioned avatars). This effectively causes the upper avatars to slide up off the hero canvas with much greater velocity than the lower positioned avatars.
- And when you scroll back up to the hero section, the inverse happens where the lower positioned avatars "arrive back in place" from up above the hero canvas before the upper avatars come back into the scene and settle in place.
- Overall I wanted this hero section to feel alive. The floating avatars, particle system with very subtle star movements, and the Caustics effect on the "Forever" text all sort of move at the pace of slow breathing - which is a great pace to create a sense of life and comfort in your scene.
Conversion Results (so far)
- When this new @framer site launched along with @CalaxyApp v1.9 release on @base a couple weeks ago, we saw a surge in traffic, around 20k page views in the first few days.
- Of those 20k hits, 11k visited the app install page (https://t.co/N11atnC2PK) - which is our main CTA
- We saw around 10K new users in the first week after v1.9 launch
Overall I'm very happy with the new https://t.co/4Orh6qo2vL site and early performance metrics. Lots of tweaking to do but its a good start.
If you are a designer building in @framer - hit me with any questions on the above hero notes. Happy to share more specifics!

1. Sign up for @CalaxyApp
2. Mint a @base NFT collection on @opensea. Set up resale royalties etc.
3. Send 1 of the NFTs to your Calaxy wallet base receiving address
3. In Calaxy, open home feed side bar (top left) and tap โNew World+โ at the bottom
4. On the access mode screen, select โtoken requirementโ > โCollectibleโ and select the NFT
5. Launch an NFT-gated social app
6. Install your new app to Home Screen when prompted
7. Do a primary sale of the collection (or airdrop / send to friends)
8. Build a stakeholder population
No bots.
No meddling.
Just a social box in the sky filled with real human stakeholders of your art.
We believe NFTs are coming back big for meaningful tribe building.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
So basically, @CalaxyApp is the place where your community can have a floor price via NFTs.
NFTs get you in the door. A seat at the table.
How valuable each of those seats become is correlated to the kind of value you + community generate inside.
People can sell their seat (sell their NFT) and rotate out.
Faces come and go, seat count stays constant (unless mint more seats.. up to you)
Your community is containerized inside a social box. Kinda like a discord server but itโs an entire social app with its own private home feed, group chats, profiles, shop, and more.
Imagine minting your own X and sticking it on your home screen with your own icon and name. Push notifications go out to everybody when stuff happens inside.
= Thatโs what a World is on @CalaxyApp.
I designed the whole thing. Watching F1 Singapore GP qualifying with some good coffee atm. ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
