Project overview
Craftrelay explores maker collaboration through a mobile experience built around a project photo feed with threaded review sheets. A maker collaboration app for voice critiques, visual reference search and grounded handover digests. The proposed journey connects project pocket, voice critique, find a reference, review digest. Four original phone showcases establish the visual direction, while the case study defines the supporting feature set and a proposed .NET MAUI architecture.
The challenge
Makers need spoken feedback, version photographs and material references connected as work moves between collaborators. On a phone, the person also needs to capture information quickly, understand where an answer came from and return to the original material without navigating through a dense desktop interface.
- Keep project pocket and voice critique connected within a short mobile flow.
- Make critique transcription correctable when the model misreads the input.
- Explain feedback clustering through visible references or user-selected preferences.
- Keep changes, sharing and data retention under explicit user control.
Our solution
The design begins with a project photo feed with threaded review sheets, using large touch targets, short task sequences and contextual sheets. Draft timestamped notes from a recorded review. Retrieve related images from the project's own archive. The companion views keep drafts, original material and accepted decisions distinct. A charcoal, coral and linen visual system gives this app its own character within the collection.
- Draft timestamped notes from a recorded review.
- Retrieve related images from the project's own archive.
- Group comments by component for human review.
- Summarize approved notes without changing project status automatically.
Key features
Inside the platform
Keep a maker's feedback attached to the work.
Original mobile interface concepts with fictional content. AI responses illustrate proposed interactions; they are not live model results.
Proposed technology stack
Proposed modernization architecture: .NET MAUI and C# for iOS and Android, with Xamarin shown as the legacy migration source. AI services and offline storage are design proposals; this portfolio entry is not a shipped application.
- .NET MAUI
- C#
- Xamarin (legacy)
- AI services
The results
The concept defines four mobile views, four AI workflows and twelve feature areas. The next validation would ask a user to complete project pocket, inspect the proposed voice critique output and correct an intentional extraction or suggestion error. Evaluation would focus on source traceability, correction effort and task completion. No usability study or business-impact measurement is claimed.
