The short version

I've been building WordPress sites for 15+ years. When Oxygen 6 launched, I was excited. Clean code output. CSS-native approach. A serious tool for serious builders.

But every new project started the same way. Set up GSAP. Wire ScrollTrigger. Build the overlay menu. Code the accordion. Add the lightbox. Preloader. Back-to-top. Smooth scroll. Reading progress bar.

After the eleventh time, I packaged the whole thing into a plugin. Then I added an admin panel. Then a Design Library. Then a Content Engine with custom post types and dynamic grids.

Somewhere along the way it stopped being a personal starter kit and became a product.
