Problem
Birthday cards get thrown away and group-chat wishes scroll past. I wanted to give my brother something that would make him sit with two decades of memories for ten minutes — and no template, no card, no slideshow app was built for that.
Solution
A four-chapter scrollytelling site: a timeline of his quiet-superpower years, a swipeable full-screen photo gallery, a letter set in Urdu Nastaliq, and a confetti finale. Scroll-driven animation paces the story — soft scroll, zero hurry — so the site itself feels like being told a story by someone who loves you.

What I Learned
Scroll-driven narrative is choreography: the hard part isn't triggering animations, it's pacing them so the reader never feels pushed. Setting Nastaliq on the web — line-height, RTL flow, font loading — taught me typography lessons no Latin script ever would.
