Hey everyone,
A while back, I wanted to send a surprise to a close friend who lives in a different city. I felt that a standard digital message lacked the magic of a real-life surprise, so I used my background as a developer to create something more immersive.
I built a digital interactive card where they had to 'travel' through a cinematic experience to find my message. Seeing how much they loved it inspired me to build a whole platform called Dekhte Hai.
The 35-second video I've attached shows one of the experience of: The Galactic Warp.
The Tech Behind It:
- It is built with React on the frontend and Firebase for the backend.
- I developed a live bridge logic that allows for a real-time editor, so you can customize names and messages and see them instantly in the preview.
- I’m currently working on expanding the catalog with new products, like a virtual cake you can actually blow out and other interactive mini-games.
I just wanted to share the journey of turning a personal long-distance challenge into a finished project.
