Story arc

How this shipped

Where wild ideas take flight and curiosity leadsThree beats: what pressed against the work, how the stack answered, and what changed once it was live.

I · Constraint

The brief

Workflow tools are either too rigid (flowchart software) or too freeform (whiteboards). Teams need structure with flexibility.

II · Build

The craft

Built infinite canvas with snap-to-grid optional, smart connectors that route around obstacles, and real-time collaboration via WebSocket.

III · Proof

What moved after launch

Smart connectors auto-route around obstacles, removing diagram cleanup chore. Real-time collaboration eliminates version conflicts. Infinite canvas scales from small flows to system architectures.
