Y2KBlog turns a nostalgic scrapbook into an interactive web experience. Independently recreated in React from a published Framer design, it combines handwritten typography, layered imagery, music and playful details.

The original project’s desktop scrapbook, independently recreated in code. The public live demo uses fictional content and neutral media.

The Challenge

Preserve the reference’s character across desktop, tablet and mobile while turning its camera, CD and other decorative objects into usable controls.

The Solution

A custom React and TypeScript implementation brings the collage to life with camera screens, draggable stickers and startup animation. Journal pages, a persistent music player, photo galleries, an editable bio and a browser-local guestbook expand the experience.

What we built

The features behind the experience.

/001

A tactile scrapbook

Interactive camera screens, draggable stickers and an animated flip phone turn decorative objects into controls.

/002

Music across pages

A persistent audio player supports favorites and track selection. The public demo includes self-composed synth loops.

/003

A personal journal

Searchable entries, an editable bio and a browser-local guestbook create a connected experience.

/004

Made for smaller screens

Dedicated desktop, tablet and phone layouts retain the layered composition, with keyboard controls and reduced-motion support.

The approach

How the experience comes together.

Study the reference

Inspect the published Framer design, its composition, typography and behavior across screen sizes.

Recreate and expand

Build an independent React and TypeScript application, then connect the camera, music, journal and gallery interactions.

Prepare the public showcase

Capture approved desktop and iPhone views. Deploy a separate version with fictional content and neutral media on Vercel.
