Canvas Platform

We developed a dynamic, browser-based design canvas inspired by tools like Figma, using Konva.js and Vue.js. This platform allows users to create, edit, and manage interactive UI layouts with real-time responsiveness and precision. Featuring drag-and-drop capabilities, layered object control, and component customization, the tool offers a powerful in-browser design experience tailored for UI/UX workflows.

Technologies

Vue.js

Konva.js

Project Challenges

Implementing real-time canvas interactivity with smooth drag-and-drop behavior.
Managing complex layering and positioning logic for nested UI elements.
Integrating an AI agent to interpret canvas designs and convert them into clean, production-ready code.
Maintaining performance during high-frequency updates and large design states.
Ensuring a seamless user experience across devices and screen sizes.

The Process

Fast, Structured Onboarding

We began with joint workshops and onboarding sessions to align the teams on objectives, timelines, and workflows laying the foundation for smooth and seamless collaboration from the very start.

Agile Execution for Rapid Progress

By applying Agile methodology, we broke the migration into manageable workstreams, enabling our team to operate independently while reducing the need for continuous coordination.

24-Hour Workflow for Maximum Productivity

We transformed time zone differences into an advantage. The Polish team completed tasks and submitted approval requests during their workday, which the San Francisco team reviewed and responded to as their day began. This seamless handoff created a continuous feedback loop, accelerating development and virtually eliminating downtime.

Independent Work Model for Faster Delivery

The project was organized into self-contained components, enabling the team to move quickly and independently, avoiding bottlenecks and significantly shortening the migration timeline.

Solutions

Built a highly interactive canvas system using Konva.js with Vue.js for UI management and reactivity.
Implemented layer management, snapping, resizing, and property editing features for precise design control.
Integrated an AI-driven code generation module that analyzes user-created designs and produces Vue.js component code.
Optimized rendering and state handling to ensure performance and responsiveness under heavy load.
Developed backend support for design saving, project management, and AI processing.
