‎I used Google Stitch to design Folia, a local-first document ‎builder desktop app that lets anyone create professional CVs, ‎invoices, and portfolio websites without subscriptions or ‎internet access.
Stitch helped me rapidly prototype the full UI flow: the ‎document type picker home screen, multi-step form builder ‎with live preview panel, template picker with visual ‎thumbnails, and the build success screen.
What makes this design special:
‎Split-panel layout: form on left, live preview on right ‎Clean minimal aesthetic that feels premium not generic ‎
Three distinct template styles per document type ‎
Dark mode throughout ‎
Progress step navigation ‎
The exported HTML/CSS from Stitch became the foundation
I ‎refined for a Tauri v2 desktop app built with Rust + Svelte. ‎Privacy-first.
No cloud. One-time payment.
Your documents ‎stay on your computer forever.
