Witchcraft Management App
A witchcraft management app designed to help practitioners organize their practice, track rituals, manage correspondences, and document their spiritual journey. Built with modern web technologies for an intuitive user experience.
The Challenge
The Goal: Create a witchcraft management app that helps practitioners organize their spiritual practice. The challenge was to build an intuitive interface for tracking rituals, managing correspondences, and documenting magical experiences while maintaining excellent performance and user experience.
Key Requirements:
- Create an intuitive interface for tracking magical practices and rituals
- Build a system for managing magical correspondences (herbs, crystals, colors)
- Design a journal system for documenting spiritual experiences
- Implement responsive design that works on all devices for on-the-go practice
- Ensure privacy and data security for personal spiritual practices
- Maintain accessibility standards for inclusive spiritual practice
The Solution
Built Hexxly as a demonstration of advanced front-end engineering, combining performant animations with modern design principles. The site serves as both a portfolio and a technical showcase, highlighting expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern web APIs.

Design Philosophy
Aesthetic Excellence
Modern, clean design with careful attention to typography, spacing, and color harmony. Every element serves a purpose and contributes to the overall visual narrative.
Interaction Design
Thoughtful micro-interactions that provide feedback and delight users. Hover states, transitions, and animations that feel natural and enhance the user experience.
Accessibility First
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance with semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support. Beautiful design that works for everyone.

Key Learnings
Performance vs. Beauty Trade-offs
Learned to balance visual richness with performance constraints. Techniques like animation throttling, will-change CSS property, and requestAnimationFrame optimization enabled smooth experiences without compromising on design quality.
Modern CSS Capabilities
Leveraged CSS Grid, custom properties, and modern layout techniques to create complex, responsive designs with minimal JavaScript. This approach improved performance and maintainability.
Developer Experience Matters
TypeScript, ESLint, and Prettier configuration created a robust development environment. Component composition and reusability patterns made the codebase maintainable and scalable.
