Prototype the risky part first
Apr – May 2025The riskiest question was technical: can we warp a flat design onto a product photo convincingly, in the browser? We started there, in a throwaway Nuxt sandbox, six days before the first product repo.
We built four versions of the canvas editor and four of the SVG crop tool there, along with the first warp, extrude-to-3D and surface-map tools. The Stripe credit-bundle flow was tested in the same sandbox.
