Before we dive into IX2 lets talk about how webflow got here
1993
Computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee had a stroke of genius:
Chaotic nachos of data, sprinkled with gigabytes and dinosaur memes.
Blip-blop internet spaghetti
Wibbly-wobbly modem noises, typing chaos, and pixels doing backflips.
Cables dancing chaotically
Banana-coded algorithms, floppy disks whispering secrets to coffee mugs.
Browsers sneezing pixels
Quantum ducks quacking HTML, while keyboards tap-dance with routers.
The first browser ever… basically the grandpa of Chrome (without the ads). Born in 1990, it looked like a text editor trying really hard to be cool.
If WorldWideWeb had a Tinder bio: Likes: HTML. Dislikes: dial-up tones.
Its goal?
“To give universal access to a large universe of documents.” And the ability to edit them.
From day one, the internet was meant to be authored by everyone.
Hello, mobile. So long, Flash. So hover me for more fun
Enter Webflow
Note for the Judges
This project isn’t about winning (competition is tough, I know).
I used Webflow IX2 designs as inspiration, mixed in my own experiments, and built something halfway borrowed, halfway self-made. What I truly gained here is priceless I finally got my hands dirty with GSAP and learned a ton.
Thanks for checking it out hope it brings a smile (and maybe a few scroll-triggered wows)!
