Suitable for planning boards, visual research, moodboards, and early concept development.\n\n**Visual grammar.** Place an open working surface beneath a compact toolbar, with a collapsible item library and a small context inspector. Use a light dot grid, warm neutral notes, dark text, and distinct labelled item types. The canvas is the main composition; the surrounding interface stays visually quiet. Spatial groups, connections, and relative position carry meaning.\n\n**Specimen and flow.** *Common Ground* provides a bounded fictional research board. Users add a source note, reposition it, and place it into a named group. Supporting states show a selected item's editable detail and a structured outline containing the same content.\n\n**Adaptation and identity.** Mobile defaults to the outline, with an optional canvas inspection mode. Every placement action also has keyboard and explicit-button controls. Preserve spatial relationships and a usable non-spatial view; avoid implementing an infinite rendering engine, requiring drag gestures, or hiding essential content off-screen. **Effort: high.**", "scope": "An expansive sample page with representative local interactions; no production business backend.", "discovery": { "industries": [ "Creative tools", "Software" ], "visitorGoals": [ "Organise ideas" ], "conversionActions": [ "Create a canvas" ], "siteSize": "Application", "interactionTypes": [ "Canvas controls", "Selection" ], "keywords": [ "Workspaces", "Research", "Spatial grouping carries meaning", "Editable note inspector", "Keyboard alternatives to movement" ] }, "patterns": [ "Spatial grouping carries meaning", "Editable note inspector", "Keyboard alternatives to movement" ], "downloadUrl": "/downloads/12-canvas-workspace.zip" }
