Project planner

A planner with a VS Code-like file tree, comments, fonts, and a color palette — structure for real builds.

01 The brief

A planner that feels like the editor I work in: files, comments, type, colour.

02 The problem

Planning tools often look like notes apps. I wanted something that feels like the editor I actually work in: files, comments, type, color.

03 The decision

VS Code grammar, not a notes app. Rejected a single-column todo list. The file tree is the navigation.

04 The build

A file-tree sidebar, comment threads, font choices, and a palette panel. React UI that borrows the grammar of VS Code without copying the chrome.

  • File-tree navigation
  • Comments and type controls
  • Palette as a first-class panel

05 The result

A studio tool concept — the kind of interface I like building: dense, specific, and meant for making things.
