mess

Showcase

Real boards.
Real shoots.

Everything below is rendered straight from the working vault: actual boards, actual photos, mid-sort. No staging, no sample content. This is what the mess looks like on a normal week.

Diving into the keepers. A studio shoot mid-sort: 128 photos on the board, 113 already faded out, and the gathered keeper pile glowing at the bottom. The camera move is the everyday gesture: zoom out to think, dive in to look.

A full board: a pile of dimmed photos on the left, enlarged picks, and a composed ten-slide carousel through the middle

One board, whole story. A club night from start to finish: the raw pile sorted and dimmed on the left, the contenders blown up for a closer look, and the ten-slide carousel taking shape through the middle. Nothing left the board; it just found its place.

Riding a finished carousel. Ten fixed-ratio slides composed over the photo pile, exactly as they export: 1080px each, named in order. The contact sheet is still visible behind slide five, because the mess stays until you're done with it.

A ten-slide carousel strip fully composed with concert photos

The strip itself. A club night in ten slides: composed by sliding photos underneath the frames until each crop reads right, then shipped with ⌘E.

An overview of roughly five hundred photos arranged as a huge contact sheet

The 500. A whole portfolio dropped on one board and it pans like butter. This overview is what the app renders after the 128px preview tier kicked in; the lag this view once caused is the reason that tier exists.
