"An app that reads like a book and thinks like an archive."
That's the answer I kept landing on when Flowstep's challenge asked what I'd build if it didn't exist yet.
I designed an interactive knowledge app — search any topic and get a story-format reel that alternates text, image, and video, with only editorially chosen terms turned into hyperlinks so you can branch into related discoveries without losing the thread.
Methodology: Split the visual language deliberately — a wood-and-parchment "shell" for navigation, saving, and settings (built to stay legible across a 10–70 age range), versus a glassmorphism, neon-glow treatment reserved only for the actual reading/discovery moments, where the energy should live. Prompted Flowstep screen-by-screen with that constraint locked in, then iterated for consistency across web, desktop, and mobile.
Wireframe set includes: Welcome/search (animated orb), Discovery feed, Story reading (with branching hyperlinks), Notepad + sketch capture, Saved ideas gallery, History log, Login, and Settings — same architecture across all three platforms, layout density adapted per device.
