The Product
Papersdock is an innovative Learning Management System tailored for creative professionals and universities, emphasizing portfolio-based learning and peer reviews.
How we started
Traditional LMS systems were rigid and text-heavy. We wanted to build a visual-first platform where design students could seamlessly upload, annotate, and critique visual work.
The Mission
To transform digital education from a passive viewing experience into an active, collaborative studio environment.
The Client's Problem
Educational institutions needed a platform that supported ultra-high-resolution image annotation and real-time collaborative whiteboarding for design critiques.
[ The Challenges ]
Managing state across dozens of concurrent users modifying the same visual canvas, ensuring performance didn't degrade with heavy asset loads.
[ The Solution ]
We implemented an edge-rendered architecture using React and Firebase Realtime Database, with a custom canvas engine optimized for smooth panning and zooming on heavy files.
