UI Design Experiments
A collection of design explorations and UI experiments pushing the boundaries of web interfaces.
Overview
This is an ongoing collection of design experiments where I explore creative UI patterns, animations, and visual effects. Each experiment is a playground for learning new CSS techniques and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the browser.
Experiments
Glassmorphism Cards
Exploring the frosted glass effect with backdrop-blur and subtle borders. The key is balancing transparency with readability.
Micro-interactions
Small animations that provide feedback on user actions. Focus states, hover effects, and loading indicators that feel natural and responsive.
Dark Mode Transitions
Smooth transitions between light and dark themes that feel intentional rather than jarring. Using CSS custom properties for seamless color shifts.
Technical Approach
All experiments are built with vanilla CSS and minimal JavaScript. The goal is to understand what’s possible with native browser APIs before reaching for libraries.
Lessons Learned
Constraints breed creativity. Limiting myself to vanilla CSS forces deeper understanding of the platform and often leads to more elegant solutions than reaching for a library.
