Rainbow Text, One Joke

In May 2022, over a hackathon weekend at the studio, I registered a domain and built a one-page Next.js site with rainbow text that moved with the mouse. Two days start to finish.

The joke was the name. The studio's whole thing was human agency, increasing it and protecting it, and we wrote a lot of blog posts about it. So the site said get some agency, and the rainbow text linked through to the real page. Move your mouse, the letters parallax, you click and land somewhere serious.

That same weekend I also bought another domain just to have a landing page. We ran nine hackathons between late 2021 and late 2022, most of them a day or two long. Some of them turned into things a client used. This one was a color gradient and a punchline, and I was happy with that.
