Project brief
One product system connecting the web, cloud, and desktop.
OpenWorkspace saves apps, windows, tabs, and layout as reusable workspaces. I designed and developed the whole product stack: the Next.js/Vercel frontend and the Fastify web server running on AWS EC2.
The backend connects to AWS RDS and handles requests from Windows and macOS desktop clients, while the public experience explains the workflow and gives the product a focused trial path.
What I owned
The work behind the finished product.
Product positioning and responsive Next.js/Vercel frontend
Complete Fastify backend and web-server development
AWS EC2 application hosting and AWS RDS integration
Request handling for Windows and macOS desktop clients
Architecture
A web-to-desktop product architecture.
The public frontend, cloud service, database, and desktop clients work as one system designed and developed end to end.
Selected screens
OpenWorkspace, beyond the opening screen.
A visual sequence turns a multi-step desktop workflow into an approachable product story.
Real product UI makes the saved-workspace concept tangible before a visitor starts a trial.
Platform and application support are surfaced before they become a purchase question.
Current status
