Making the Web a Little More Interesting
At Blobly, we believe a great website shouldn't just work. It should also be enjoyable to explore.
That's why we've started integrating beautiful ASCII animations from ascii.rest into our website!
From animated city skylines to atmospheric landscapes, these creative details bring a refreshing combination of retro aesthetics and modern web design.
And yes, we're loving how they look.
Why ASCII Animations?
The internet is full of generic interfaces and repetitive designs. We wanted Blobly to feel different.
ASCII art reminds us that creativity doesn't always require complicated graphics. Sometimes, a few characters and a little imagination can create something beautiful.
We're introducing these animations into selected areas of Blobly, including our Jobs page and other sections of the website.
Our goal is simple: make your browsing experience more enjoyable without sacrificing performance or usability.
We're also keeping mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and light/dark theme compatibility in mind.
A Special Thanks to ascii.rest
A huge shout-out to Subham, the creator of ascii.rest, for building such a creative project.
This is what we love about the developer ecosystem. Someone creates something interesting, shares it with the world, and inspires others to build something new.
We're happy to bring a little of that creativity into Blobly.
🚨 Spoiler Alert: Something Bigger Is Coming!
The ASCII animations are just a small part of what we're working on.
We're also developing something exciting for event organizers, attendees, and communities.
Introducing our upcoming idea: Blobly Digital Badges!
Imagine attending a hackathon, completing a workshop, or contributing to an event and receiving a digital credential that you can:
Display on your Blobly profile.
Share with your professional network.
Verify through a unique public credential link.
Keep as a record of your achievements.
We're working toward a system where organizers can create and issue digital badges while attendees build a collection of their accomplishments.
Your participation deserves recognition beyond a simple registration confirmation.
The system is still under development, but we're excited about its potential.
And that's not everything we're building.
More Updates Coming Soon
Blobly is growing, and so are our ideas.
We're improving the platform, experimenting with new designs, listening to community feedback, and working on features that make event management easier.
Sometimes innovation means building an entirely new system.
Sometimes it means adding a beautiful ASCII animation to make someone's day a little more interesting.
Both matter to us.
Visit blobly.in, explore the new animations, and tell us what you think.
And about those badges?
Your next event might leave you with more than memories. 👀
Thank you to everyone supporting Blobly and helping us build something meaningful.
More updates are coming soon.
Your events in your own verse.
With love,
Your loving founder,
Soham Das
