Pomora architecture flow chart
  1. 01

    Research and scope Analyzed competing productivity tools, defined the core focus-cycle requirements, and separated the essentials from nice-to-haves.

  2. 02

    Design system Low-fidelity user-flow wireframes, an accessible palette, and a geometric typographic hierarchy.

  3. 03

    Performance and build Optimized time-to-interactive, smooth 60fps timer interactions, and automated deployments.
