I built a browser-based design tool — would love feedback on the UX and visual feel

Hey everyone,

I come from a developer background and have been building a canvas editor as a side project. It lets you compose images, video, audio, text, and shapes into a single scene and export it as an image or video, entirely in the browser.

Since I have no design background, I'd love honest feedback from people with a design eye:

  • Does the canvas feel intuitive? (resizing, layering, element styling)
  • Is the styling panel clear — things like border radius, padding, background color, opacity?
  • Does the UI feel clean or cluttered?
  • Anything that felt off compared to tools you normally use?

Happy to hear any thoughts: https://app.assetstud.io

I built a canvas editor in React — looking for UX/product feedback

Hey everyone,

I've spent the last few months building Asset Studio, a web-based design tool designed to handle images, video, audio, and animations entirely in the browser.

While the tech stack is stable (React + Konva), I'm now at the Product-Level Review stage. I'm looking for feedback from experienced frontend engineers on the overall UX and "feel" of a high-complexity React application.

Specifically, I'd love your thoughts on:

Canvas UX: Is the element manipulation (resizing, layering, text padding) intuitive compared to industry standards like Figma or Canva?

Workspace History: Each workspace keeps its own undo/redo history. Does switching between workspaces and picking up right where you left off feel natural?

Feature Discoverability: Since it's a serverless tool, I've tried to keep the UI clean. Are the animation and export controls easy to find, or is the learning curve too steep?

Performance Perception: Does the app feel "snappy" during heavy asset manipulation, or does the React overhead become visible to you as a user?

The Goal: I want to push this beyond a "side project" into a production-grade tool. I'm not using a server for rendering — everything is client-side.

App: https://app.assetstud.io

I'm happy to answer any questions about how I handled the complex state or the asset pipeline. Looking forward to your brutal feedback!

I built a React canvas editor — images, video, audio, text, shapes, and animations, no server involved

Hey everyone,

I've been working on Asset Studio — a canvas editor on React that lets you create rich media experiences right in the browser.

What it does:

  • Add images, video, audio, text, shapes, and freehand drawings to a canvas
  • Fully customize every element — round images, add borders, set text padding, background colors, and more
  • Animate any element with built-in timing and easing controls
  • Export the canvas as an image or video directly in the browser — no server needed
  • Undo and redo any change, so you can experiment freely without fear of losing your work

Would love to hear feedback, and happy to answer any questions!
