in 2020 i started recreating the stamps my grandpa collected, it was a small lockdown project that sort of grew into a digital collection of my own. now, @rpavlini and I built an online philately experience where you can explore them and zooooom in like a true philatelist

A bit more screenshots of the details I loved: - hover card with the original stamp - focus states and using arrow keys to navigate the stamps - chromatic aberration and visible paper texture when using loupe to zoom in - empty state with my own handwriting that animates in
I love this project, super fun

this melted my heart :D thanks for sharing it! 🥹 it also got me wondering if we should add pinch to zoom on ipad 👀 the way she tried to zoom in makes sense

Replying to @mikecreativedev

do it, it's fun! if theres a software youd like to learn try to make it a personal goal to learn it through recreating the stamps :) thats how i learned procreate (textured stamps)

Dude my father in law collects first day covers (similar). He’s been wanting me to digitize his collection, this looks perfect!

pretty sure you should digitize it :)
This could have a printed and seasonal versions as well, must have a great public to philately (also, looking at your projetct, you could add some hidden details - easter eggs, that would add an extra feature to your magnifier)

stay tuned 👀 we have some hidden features planned, will be super nice and on-brand for stamps

i wish it was like an actual 3d scan so we can see the texture of the paper great work though

there is a bit of texture visible :) I'll look into how to make it more prominent
