Beyond the App: @CalaxyApp Journey with African Builders We’re hosting a special conversation with @CalaxyApp to explore how decentralized creator platforms can empower communities across Africa. This Space will dive into: • The evolution of the Calaxy ecosystem • Opportunities for African creators and builders • How tokenized communities and social Worlds unlock new forms of ownership • Real experiences from those building the future of the creator economy Co host @Preiz_Motion @Ajakara_ Guests @CalaxyApp @SoloCeesay 📍 Tuesday, October 28, 2025 ⏱️ 8PM UTC 1 📣 X-Space — twitter.com/i/spaces/1OwxWer… Be there. Let’s build the future together.

calaxy.com home page hero ✨ 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 (calaxy.com/install-calaxy) - 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 calaxy.com 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! 👾
