A name, made of ink

Type a name. You get an ink field that’s yours and only yours: the same every time, different for everyone.

ink · Tom

The idea

On the homepage, your name becomes a signature: one stroke. This is the same trick pushed somewhere stranger. Not a line, but a whole field of ink, drifting. Same input, different medium.

How it works

Your name is hashed into a handful of numbers. Those numbers set the knobs of a shader: which way the ink flows, how turbulent it gets, the two colours it lives between. Nothing is random at render time, so your ink never changes. Type “Marie” and you’ll never land on “Tom”.

What it’s for

Nothing, yet, and I’m fine with that. I like that a name can carry a fingerprint that isn’t a number or a photo: something that feels made rather than assigned. If it ever earns a real job (a share card, an empty state, a mark that’s never twice the same), it’ll be because it looked good first.
