Place: A Writer for Visual Thinkers
Project overview
It’s difficult to think visually in existing writing apps. I created Place, an experimental text editor linking prose to a space for images, quotes, and other references.
Place is a side project I started to help my own creative writing, to dive deeper into Svelte Kit and Serverless development, and to have fun.

Concept, design, development

Concept
In the editor, sections of text are linked to areas of the space through ‘slices’, making it possible to organize knowledge spatially and write alongside.

Interaction design
Place makes extensive use of motion design to communicate actions and state while keeping the UI as minimal as possible. This being a personal project, I took the opportunity to explore less common UX ideas like a notification system connected to the mouse cursor.
