Creative App Patterns

Workflow

1. Define the editable document model, commands and reversible operations independently of the UI.
2. Make autosave and recovery explicit. Use versioned formats and do not corrupt the previous valid document on write failure.
3. Budget real-time work, move expensive computation off the interaction path and measure the critical loop.
4. Prototype with representative media; test undo/redo, recovery, accessibility and empty/error states.

Completion

Return the concrete result, verification evidence and any material unresolved limitation. Keep documentation proportional to the change and preserve human feedback.
