The process

I added a chapter and topic filter to the mosaic and the admin panel, so I can find an exercise fast as they grow, and rebuilt the dropdowns in the site's own neon style, full names and a button to clear them, tuned to read well on phones too. I cleaned out dead code along the way. And the one I care about most: I can now write real math, formulas, powers, fractions, roots, in each exercise's description, written in LaTeX and rendered by KaTeX, with a symbol bar and a live preview in the admin. Just what Baldor needs.

I gave every exercise its own address, by chapter, topic and number, so the ones that share a number no longer step on each other. I also gave the people their own place: an author can hold many works now, recognized by their email. I cleaned up the test runs and left it all live and working.

Today the platform went online: it is live at x.sobekbytes.net, with its code safe and versioned. Along the way I rebranded the emails so they feel like mine and swapped the how-it-works illustrations. The house is standing now, ready to fill with Baldor.

The platform now runs end to end: someone uploads their interpretation, I moderate it, and it goes live in the mosaic. It is properly bilingual, with email notices in each person's own language, and I gave it a big design pass. I started loading the Baldor exercises, slowly, at my own pace.

I switched the mosaic to a masonry layout so Baldor's tall exercises show in full, and moved the labels below the image so they stop covering the drawing. I wired the email notifications for real. And I dropped WhatsApp from the project: email only, simpler.

I connected Supabase for real and switched off demo mode: the platform stopped being a mockup and now runs on real data. Going to production surfaced some ugly bugs that I fixed one by one. Along the way I made every image come in light, so the project holds up as it grows.

I finished the three how-it-works illustrations, all mine: solve, transform, join. I hardened the admin panel with its moderation and a dashboard to read the project's pulse at a glance. And I documented the database end to end.

I brought up the process page, which had been a 404 for weeks, with the manifesto, the method and the article. I made the language switch actually work across the whole site. And I redesigned the mosaic and turned the form into a step-by-step wizard.

I moved the launch to July 2. I need more room to finish the intake mechanism and seed the first exercises before opening the doors.

I went from concept to actually building the platform. I set up a team of agents so it would be born scalable, and poured the identity into the site: the home is up and bilingual. In parallel I started solving Baldor and promoting on Instagram.

I chose Megrim as the brand typeface: thin, geometric, futuristic. I tilted the palette toward neon green and gathered a set of real collaborative-art references. And I started fixing accents and closing accessibility gaps.

I moved the project into its own personal folder, out of the institutional one. I rescheduled the campaign to give the buildup room to breathe and give myself time to build the web.

I got all the groundwork ready before coding: confirmed the Instagram account, reorganized the plan day by day, and decided to launch the web and keep adding exercises over time. The work grows as I go.

I settled the name, A thousand forms of an X, and the organic mosaic. I decided the language, English with Spanish, and steered the style toward anime with a futuristic accent and school-day nostalgia. I defined Elizabeth as the lead character.

The idea was born: solve all of Baldor's Algebra and open every exercise to a community's visual interpretation, assembled into a mosaic that grows. My thesis: design turns a universal knowledge into singular and collective memory. To remember is not to archive, it is to interpret.
