How can I create a personal space that's engaging and interesting?
Asked by Patrick Lee:

I had tried looking at the existing templates available on Confluence Cloud but I couldn't find anything that helps with creating an engaging and interesting landing page for our personal space.  

The default template is very basic and devoid of information. I'm curious what some people have used to inspire their creativity when creating your personal space and what ideas or tricks you've all used to create something that represents who you are.

Both free apps and can totally transform Confluence.

[@Patrick Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5384004) Just to clarify a bit what they each do, [Spacecraft](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230544/spacecraft-theme-for-confluence-cloud-color-your-space?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=question-2616627) allows you to customize public spaces with a custom url, removing the Confluence top bar and the space settings in the side panel, hiding the last update information or author name, and more. If you want to use your personal space to create something akin to a mini-website, Spacecraft would help you out.

But if you want people to navigate to your space from within Confluence and have access to Confluence features like commenting, favoriting, watching, etc, [Karma](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228839/karma-confluence-page-builder-content-formatting-free?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=question-2616627) or [Aura](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221974/aura-content-formatting-macros-tabs-miro-figma-google-html?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=question-2616627) could be a good solution for more design options above and beyond what's available out of the box.

Karma is a page builder; [check out this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoSaIQOuYKY) to see an example. Aura provides a number of different formatting macros; [this page gives you a bunch of examples](https://appanvil.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/1947172885/Aura+-+Sample+Pages).

You can also consider other alternatives like [Content Formatting Macros for Confluence.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/247/?utm_source=Atlassian-Community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Comment_How-can-I-create-a-personal-space-that-engaging-and-interesting_20240222)

This is the most popular app for content formatting on the Atlassian Marketplace.

It contains all the features you need to improve your content for better:

* design (cards, background, banner, buttons)
* structure (tabs, numbered headings, advanced expand, progress bar)
* and context (tooltip, footnotes, alert, etc.)
