Content Manager

Web Application ยท 2023

Content Manager

A versatile web application for organizing projects and content in a single, user-friendly platform. Features external media URL support, local storage persistence, and a sleek dark mode interface.

The Challenge

Managing diverse content types (text, images, video embeds) across different platforms creates fragmentation. Freelancers and students needed a centralized, lightweight dashboard to curate and organize project-specific multimedia resources.

Role & Contributions

Role

Developer & UI Designer

Responsibilities

Designing the grid layout, implementing theme switching (dark/light mode), and managing local storage data persistence.

Research Methods

Surveyed peers on how they organize research materials. Discovered a high reliance on browser bookmarks and messy local folders. The core requirement was identified as visual organization with immediate preview capabilities.

Design Process

01. Layout Design

Implemented a responsive grid system allowing for masonry-style visual content presentation.

02. Theming

Utilized CSS variables to create a dark mode toggle that applies instantly, without page reloads.

03. Media Handling

Created modular rendering functions to seamlessly embed external image and video URLs.

Measurable Outcomes

Delivered a highly visual, persistent personal content dashboard. The vanilla JS architecture guarantees fast load times, and the application serves as a reliable tool for curating reference materials directly in the browser.
