usersteen.ethOn Designing a Profile Page
I'm obsessed with profile pages. Before algorithmic feeds, social media was about spending time on profile pages. It was personal. Users curated their pages based on aesthetics more than social signalling. They communicated with instead of at each other. Gardens. It was dope. Here's my Zora profile:I just noticed the primary display name is $usersteen, my profile's token (which this post is paired with lol) From a design perspective, it's clean. There's a coin-to-social flow that is intuitive...

Following up on:
A visual study
Vertical lines appear thinner than horizontal lines of the same weight. This makes 9:16 feel tall. Weird tall.
In person, on 55"+ displays, it's impressive.
It also works well for mobile; we know this because of short-form social media. It displays relatively large.
The digital flexibility is worth pushing past reels and vidz.
Jpg+gif 9:16 is a massive creative opportunity. I think it's a pathway for digital art to scale.
I've been experimenting with it more on zora, and want to see how long I can go before going insane or bored.
(Same-Day Update) Zora web uses the same cascading grid as Zora mobile. 9:16 is king.
