Imagine the landing page with a bounded text box in the center, surrounded by vines sprouting from the edges and corners of the screen.

Also kind of want to make my website an intimate, soft space Maybe virtual third space??

[Szplugz]

It should somehow reflect all of my values through its design

[Szplugz]

Who am I? What am I about? What do I value? What do I do? What do I like? How can I make you feel welcome? How can I provide value to you? How can I make this virtual space as engaging as possible?

This is super, super, super, super extra lol but what if there was a dusting function that gradually adds dust, dirt, and other signs of wear to webpages the longer they go untouched?

Have a floating sun || moon in the top right corner for day / night mode. When they're left idle, they should hover gently like a ghost, and when you click on one, it fades out into the top of the screen, and is replaced by the other one, gently easing in from a few pixels below

Also a good idea for night mode - underlines turn into glowing underlights that gently illuminate the underlined text

[Szplugz]

"If you find yourself unable to connect with me at the moment, just look at the moon and know that I'm looking at it too"

I really like these pins on Brie Wolfson's website

[Szplugz]

Adding buttons for navigation is also a great usability enhancement

They don't work on her website lol

[Szplugz]

Add location to your notebook posts

[Szplugz]

Add a page to show people your 'aesthetic' and 'vibe' by gathering and displaying blocks from a (private) channel. Doesn't have to be purely visual media, it can include text and audio too

[Szplugz]

Maybe - when someone first opens your website, there's an animation where the sun logo rolls in from the right side of the screen to reveal 'WELCOME', and then it opens into the landing page. Only works on first time visits (for each browser session), disabled on reload.

And every page transition includes a blank screen with the sun rolling up from the bottom of the screen (similar to other)

Also, if the sun is visible on a page, it spins around its center as you scroll up and down

[Szplugz]
