Inspirespace mood board – privacy by design with a pervasive experience
A web app for arranging inspirational images on an infinite zoomable canvas. Images live locally in your browser — no login, no server.
Overview
A digital mood-board tool — collections of images used by visual designers to explore direction and aesthetic. Unlike physical boards or most online alternatives, this one lets images live freely on an infinitely zoomable canvas so you can arrange a few hundred references without running out of space.
Key features
Images are dragged and arranged freely; a continuous zoom keeps the big picture in view while letting you refine a specific cluster. The continuous overview prevents the disorientation that typical grid-based mood-board tools develop once a board grows beyond a screenful.
Privacy & storage
The images are stored in your browser (using PouchDB) and are never transferred to any centralized storage.
Privacy by design: no login, no external account, no shared database. The trade-off is that a board currently lives in a single browser — cross-device sync is on the roadmap.
Future enhancements
- Client-side ML for automatic image tagging
- Text-based search across boards
- Additional media types (video clips, text notes)
- Mobile optimisation with proper touch handling
- Cross-browser sync via a trust-minimised channel
- Mobile companion app
