Notelify - Text Editor Dashboard

This Text Editor Dashboard is designed to support writers, designers, and creative teams in producing thoughtful content with AI-augmented writing workflows. By combining a familiar document editor interface with an integrated real-time AI assistant, the platform enhances productivity and clarity without disrupting the writing flow.

Traditional writing tools often fall short when it comes to turning raw thoughts into refined, high-quality content. Users switch between apps, copy-paste drafts, and lose focus due to fragmented workflows. The challenge was to create an environment where thinking, editing, and AI refinement coexist in a single, uninterrupted space.

The design introduces a side-panel AI assistant that analyzes selected text and suggests alternative phrasing, tone improvements, and clarity enhancements instantly. The left sidebar organizes notes and projects into clean categories, while the main editor remains distraction-free with minimal UI chrome and high legibility typography.

This creates a calm yet intelligent workspace where users can draft, reflect, and iterate without leaving the document environment.

The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, through appropriate feedback within a reasonable time. In the initial version, when users sent a message to the AI assistant, the interface didn’t provide any clear indication that the system was actively processing their request. This lack of feedback could make users feel uncertain or think the system was stuck, leading to repeated inputs or frustration.

In the improved version, a small status message “Thinking longer for better answer” appears while the AI generates a response. This simple piece of feedback reassures users that the system is working and encourages them to wait, ultimately improving the overall sense of control and trust in the interaction.(src: Jakob Nielsen - 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design)

Typography is clean and modern, ensuring high readability across long-form text. Action buttons remain secondary to prevent cognitive overload, reinforcing the principle that the writing experience not UI elements should take center stage.

The AI assistant panel uses structured modules like “Rewrite”, “Improve Clarity”, and “Tone Shift” to provide quick actionable paths, mimicking the role of a thoughtful editor rather than a generic automation tool.
