01 / Idea & goals
One home.
Many possibilities.
Crashline brings independent projects across software, gaming and media together in one place. Core is the project behind the platform: the website, the shared identity and the structure connecting it all.
Every project should have its own space, with a description, development status, images and relevant links. Whether just planned, in development or already finished, its progress should be easy to follow.
Share the progress
Document progress, decisions and important milestones.
Leave room to grow
Add projects and branches while keeping a shared identity.
02 / Current state
The foundation is in place.
The build continues.
Crashline now has its own home at crashline.org and a dedicated contact address: [email protected]. Projects and news are managed through Payload, including the text on this Core page. The imprint and privacy pages are available in English and German, and optional analytics runs only after consent. The sitemap has been submitted to Google and Bing; search visibility will develop over time. Branches remain a fixed directory for future standalone websites.

03 / Behind the design
A distinctive
visual signature.
The full name is Crashline. In the logo, it becomes CRSHLNE: a compact wordmark with a precise cut and balanced letter spacing.
Fragments become a whole.
Individual pixels form the wordmark in the intro. A brief cut, reassembly and a subtle zoom lead into the calm page layout.
04 / Development
From the first idea
to this point.
The first milestones, in the order they happened. This story will continue to grow with the platform.
- 01
One shared home
Crashline begins with the idea of a personal home on the web: a platform that brings independent projects together and leaves room for different directions.
- 02
Crashline becomes CRSHLNE
Crashline remains the name. A custom geometric wordmark gives the logo its own identity. Letterforms, spacing and the horizontal cut are refined step by step.
- 03
The first interface
White, grey and translucent glass surfaces shape the landing page. Project tiles, navigation and the first sections give the platform its structure.
- 04
Pixels become identity
The intro evolves from an initial glitch into a pixel build-up: individual fragments form the letters before a cut, snap and zoom bring the logo into the header.
- 05
The first project finds its home
Crashline Core gets this dedicated project page. It records the goals, current state and next steps, setting the direction for future project pages.
- 06
A place for the person behind it
About and Contact give Crashline a voice beyond its projects. Support & Partners adds a place for contributions through Ko-fi and PayPal, as well as future collaborations.
- 07
The platform goes online
The website and Payload CMS go online. The first news post is published, followed by CMS-managed project content, including this custom Core page. Branches remain a fixed directory for future standalone websites.
- 08
A home of its own
Crashline moves onto crashline.org with its own contact address. English and German legal pages and visitor-controlled analytics are added. The sitemap is submitted to Google and Bing, marking the next step towards making the platform easier to discover.
05 / Next steps
What comes
next.
This roadmap sets the direction. Priorities and scope may change as development continues; there are no fixed release dates yet.
Build on the foundation
Keep project information and progress up to date in Payload, and add new projects when they are ready to share. Branch links will lead to their own websites as those become available.
Refine the experience
Refine the experience on desktop and mobile, and extend English and German language selection beyond the legal pages. Add project filters when there is enough work to explore.
Learn from the live site
Follow search discovery and, where visitors opt in, page-view and performance trends. Use those insights and feedback to improve navigation, loading times and content clarity.
Discussion & branches
Add comments with moderation and spam protection, and develop dedicated spaces for branches as their projects take shape.
A look at the technical direction
The website runs on Next.js with React and TypeScript. The intro combines WebGL, SVG and GSAP. Payload CMS manages published content, PostgreSQL stores the data, and Railway hosts the website and CMS in Amsterdam. Uploaded images use persistent storage.
