Project Case Study

TextOpener

A Windows-first text opener and editor concept rebuilt as a safe browser preview with a dark workspace, sidebar browsing, document tabs, find controls, and editor status feedback.

Problem

Desktop text tools need to feel fast and familiar, but a public portfolio version must avoid real file access, persistent recent data, private paths, and platform-specific save behavior.

Outcome

Built a static editor preview that communicates the core workflow: open-file commands, folder-style browsing, tabbed documents, a find panel, word-wrap behavior, and clear status feedback.

My Role and Approach

  • Translated the WPF editor layout into a self-contained browser demo.
  • Kept the recognizable dark editor shell, sidebars, tabs, and status bar.
  • Replaced desktop file operations with fixed safe sample states for portfolio review.

  • .NET 8 WPF app
