Signature Design Concept

The Sudip-journal app will feature an interactive "Trading Galaxy" homepage. Users will navigate through a 3D galaxy where each star represents a different trading pair or metric. By clicking on a star, users can view detailed information about that trade or metric. The galaxy will rotate and zoom in response to user interactions, providing a dynamic and engaging experience. This concept will be built using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for 3D rendering and interactions.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the app. This will enhance the storytelling aspect of the trading journey, with decorative layers translating at different speeds to create an immersive experience. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model for clarity and ease of use.
