Aurea
Aurea is a social media platform for uploading and discovering short-form videos and live photos. Its gallery is composed around the golden ratio, creating a flowing, asymmetric feed where every piece of media leads naturally into the next in a continuous loop.
Project Story
What this project is about
The idea was to give a familiar social feed a more intentional sense of rhythm. Rather than stacking identical posts in a conventional scroll, I used golden-ratio proportions to make the gallery feel editorial and alive while preserving the immediacy people expect from short-form media. Underneath that experience is a Cloudflare-native backend that keeps uploads, media storage, and relational data close to the edge.
Build Focus
A continuous golden-ratio gallery backed by a Cloudflare Worker, with D1 relational data and R2 media uploads.
Experience Goal
Make discovering short-form media feel like moving through an endless, carefully composed visual stream.
