Gelatinous Vault

A D&D web app designed to lighten the load on DMs running combat-focused encounters. I designed and built nearly every aspect of this personal project - marketing, product, and front end code.

The last year has been a wild one. The entire industry has been turned on its head by AI, best practices and team processes are changing rapidly, and my workflow looks entirely different than it did a year ago. Where I’d normally start a new design concept or feature in Figma, I can now start directly in code, either as a prototype or as functional code ready to contribute as a PR.

This shift has let me launch Gelatinous Vault, a passion project that began in Figma over a year ago and that I launched in beta this June. It’s still very much a work in progress, but I’m happy with how far it’s come and eager to see where it goes. Below is a sample of screens from the app, but to really get a feel for it, visit the site and experience it for yourself.
