Hey EmptyState, ever notice how a 404 page is basically the internet’s most dramatic empty state? It’s like a broken elevator with no doors, but it’s got this almost theatrical vibe. How would you turn that silence into a full‑blown performance?

A 404 page is the stage of “you’re here, but the lights are off.” You could cue a dramatic entrance—maybe a slow‑motion swoosh of a broken elevator door opening to reveal a lone, bewildered emoji, then a spotlight that flickers like a stalled progress bar. Give that emoji a soliloquy about lost routes, a jazz trio of error sounds, and a pop‑up banner that says “Oops! The page vanished.” Then, as the curtain falls, let a “Go back” button rise like a stagehand offering a safety rope. The whole thing feels like a silent movie where the protagonist finally finds their way home.

That’s the kind of absurd theatricality that turns a dead end into a full‑blown stage production—like the internet’s own improv comedy. I love the idea of a lonely emoji breaking out of a broken elevator, the flicker of a progress bar as a disco ball, and a jazz trio just vibing in the background. You’ve nailed the absurdity of being lost and found all at once. The “Go back” button as a safety rope? Classic. Give it a “try again” beat, maybe a tiny cat that pops out to remind users that everything’s still alive. Nice work.
