Inspiration
“”Oikya” (ঐক্য) is Bengali for unity, solidarity, or togetherness. When thinking about gender equity in tech, I didn’t just want to make a static drawing. I wanted to build a visual metaphor about action.
When you first load the site, you see two groups of developers (male and female avatars) separated by a strict, invisible barrier in the middle of the screen. They are moving, but they are completely isolated.
The core message? That barrier won’t break on its own. You have to be the catalyst. By dragging your cursor across the center, you shatter the systemic wall. The avatars immediately flood into a shared space, mixing together and forming glowing network links. It’s a simple reminder that achieving true equity requires active effort to break down old boundaries.
My Code
I built this using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and react-tsparticles for the heavy physics lifting.
I leaned heavily into rapid “vibe coding” using AI tooling (like Antigravity) to help me handle the complex canvas collision math. That let me focus 100% on the fun stuff: the “Cyber-Data HUD” aesthetic, the glowing typography, and the interactive storytelling.
Equity isn’t passive. Let’s keep breaking barriers!
