Built Trace App, a new way to capture memories as designed experiences.
Using Mobbin, I studied how top apps structure content, emotion, and interaction. Patterns like cards, modular flows, and lightweight creation tools shaped the foundation of this concept.
Trace turns moments into Polaroid-style cards.
You can add a photo, apply filters, write text, and even attach audio.
Each memory becomes a small, expressive story, saved as a video you can actually revisit.
Writing unique code for animations makes iterating on reactive micro-interactions so much smoother. It completely transforms how a brand narrative feels in the browser.
The archive framing is lovely—Dark Mode gives the memories a more intimate, cinematic feel, while the layout stays easy to scan. I’d make that contrast the key decision point.
