Creating an initial version of the page to validate the styling and design. The content still needs to be tweaked and properly reviewed (especially slides 3, 4 and 5).

Some open questions:

  • Tasks & Achievements could also be presented as a terminal if we like that design.
  • If we don’t like the terminal approach, it could be removed and we could adapt the design from the Slide 1 tasks for the other slides.
  • I think we could add a small initial header explaining what Sand Garden is in one line, followed by another line outlining our main focus / goals for 2025. If we do this, the provisional “Sand Garden 2025 Recap” title would be removed.
  • I removed the stats from the Ecosystem Collabs slide, we can add them back if we have clear metrics to show.
  • Need to add descriptions for each ecosystem collab to be properly understood

The code also needs review, this was pretty much vibecoded.

This looks pretty nice, Pablo. Love the geeky vibe. Thank you.

Adding some random thoughts after a quick first pass:

  • Should we add some images? e.g. photo of the BG workshop room / ens site / advent calendar miniapp / etc. Maybe showing a thumbnail that you can click and will open in a modal. Just an idea.
  • Link to stuff? I think we are only linking some of the things.
  • Instead of "Project 01"... what else we could use to make it more generic / grouped (Goal / Focus / Workstream / Area / Track / Initiative)

I think we could add a small initial header explaining what Sand Garden is in one line, followed by another line outlining our main focus / goals for 2025. If we do this, the provisional “Sand Garden 2025 Recap” title would be removed.

I like this before project 01!

@technophile-04 could you help reviewing the code just a bit? Don't go too grumpy, it's just a one time UI.

I might push some copy changes as I review (weekend / monday)

Maybe this could go below the header. It's match better if we add the description (as you were mentioning) + It'd also be easier on mobile (currently looks weird)

Tysm @Pabl0cks this looks really goood! Like it alot!

nit: The SideNav kind of hides the content a bit (like on first visit or staying on particular section and trying to read all the points)

Pused a commit at e49cf8a which uses the nextjs getLayout pattern instead of conditionally rendering all the provider to handle removing or adding of Header or Footer


  • Should we add some images? e.g. photo of the BG workshop room / ens site / advent calendar miniapp / etc. Maybe showing a thumbnail that you can click and will open in a modal. Just an idea.

I like the current desing, very clean and to the point. Just feel like maybe adding pics will bloat or disturb the styels abit?

But maybe we can have carosoule at end or in middle with all the pics? There we can also maybe highlight #25 (comment)

  • Link to stuff? I think we are only linking some of the things.

++ was thinking the same, maybe we can link after "cat" cat <project>.md(link)

  • Instead of "Project 01"... what else we could use to make it more generic / grouped (Goal / Focus / Workstream / Area / Track / Initiative)

Track or Focus sounds good to me! or even Area

Also added the OG title and descritption (f22ddc0, e6a317a) so that we tackle #21 (we just need to update the image)

Just pushed a few tweaks, will do a content review later and add a proper header before sections (evening or night):

  • Added links, feel free to add more if I missed or tweak them 🙏
  • Fixed a weird behavior when you opened tabs with a lot of content like "Arbitrum"
  • Gave section titles (old Project 01...) a track name. For the first track I'd choose between Education or Dev onboarding, both look a bit weird
  • Deleted (month) from descriptions
  • Increased noise just to decide if to keep it or delete it

Just pushed some content tweaks on all the sections.

First two sections use present which felt more natural, and changed to past in 3rd section because it was more time based, and sticked with past the next sections. Not sure if it's the right approach, hope it doesn't feel weird.

Looking great! Thanks Pablo!


We need to update the OG image but we can update that in other PR
