Access

This entry is preserved as archive context. The strongest way to read it is through the visual record, the key decisions, and the surrounding body of work.

Visual history

Latest state first, previous interface states preserved underneath

This timeline keeps a readable visual memory of the surface, so the newest cover can stay on the project card without erasing what came before.

Project notes

What to know before opening the live product

01

Background

Why this exists

Tool recommendations are useful only when they help decisions. The comparison dimensions need to be explicit.

02

Scenario

Use scenarios

  • Find tools by intent, such as collaboration, design, or productivity.
  • Compare options through structured fields instead of guesswork.
  • Turn exploration into a reusable tool map.

03

Delivery

What I shipped

  • A tool-card library with name, summary, links, and key metrics.
  • Category filters plus search.
  • Multi-column browsing optimized for scanning.

04

Design

Design decisions

  • Cards are built for comparison, not decoration.
  • Search appears at entry to avoid list wandering.
  • Outbound exploration stays lightweight and low-friction.

05

Tech

Implementation

  • Card-based information architecture
  • Responsive frontend search and filtering

Flow

The path from entry to completion

This version is best understood as a living product: entry points, feedback loops, and completion states matter as much as the surface design.
