is an open-source 3D experience that merges tradition and technology with purpose and precision. This isn’t fluff, this is intentional design—a platform for creating, sharing, and celebrating Chinese New Year wishes in a dynamic, immersive digital environment. Built for speed, elegance, and seamless interaction, this app is designed for people who demand more from the web.
- 360° Interactive Sky: A fluid, immersive starry night that rotates with your device or mouse—because static is boring.
- Lantern Creation: Choose from 13 zodiac-inspired lanterns or keep it blank. Add your wish, and let it float upward in glowing perfection.
- Crowd Depth & Parallax: A grounded crowd scene adds subtle depth and movement to make the experience feel alive without unnecessary noise.
- User Wishes: See real-time wishes from others, or focus on your own. It’s your experience.
- Social Sharing: Share your lantern with the world—email, social platforms, whatever you choose. Designed to be personal and shareable.
This isn’t about gatekeeping. This is about community, experimentation, and pushing boundaries. By opening up this app, others can learn, use, and expand on it. It’s a foundation for creativity, not a locked-down experience.
- Frontend: Vanilla JS, 3JS, GSAP, and custom CSS. No bloated frameworks. Fast, minimal, intentional.
- Backend: Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL—because data needs structure, not clutter.
- Hosting: Deployed on Netlify for top-tier performance.
- 13 meticulously designed lanterns (12 zodiac + 1 blank) with a unified golden aesthetic.
- A high-resolution moon with a transparent background that casts dynamic lighting.
- Seamless, repeating starry sky graphic for an uninterrupted experience.
- A parallax-enabled crowd scene designed for depth and motion.
- Modular, reusable components: Clean, scalable code that doesn’t try too hard to be clever.
- API integration: Fast and efficient data calls for dynamic content.
- Lightweight: Built for speed without sacrificing the experience.
This isn’t about trends or gimmicks. Every element, every line of code, is deliberate. The goal is simple: create something that looks stunning, performs flawlessly, and leaves an impression.
