Who'Studios – A Social Design Platform

Who'Studios is a social design platform built on the idea of giving users unprecedented creative freedom. Instead of forcing content into rigid templates or a text box, Who'Studios allows you to create unique designs in a blank canvas powered by fabric.js. Using a combination of texts, images, videos, audios, shapes, and drawings, in any arrangement you can imagine, Who'Studios offers a degree of space, flexibility, and modularity never before seen in a social media platform.

From digital posters to magazine covers, from doodles to video collages, from random ramblings to precise prose, Who'Studios empowers users to break the rules and rigidity of traditional platforms and express their vision as they see it.

The stack is MERN: MongoDB, Express, React, Node. The canvas editor is built using Fabric.js.

There are plenty of other features to check out: projects allow you to combine up to 10 designs and package them together to produce cohesive zines and publications. You'Studios, your profile page, has a feature where you can add tabs with custom content a la mySpace using the CodeBox. There's an Expo feature where users can create threads for open conversation, and features for messages and groups where users can have private conversations. Who'Studios is an evolving project, so I'm always improving existing features and adding new ones.

whostudios.com is the website, but if you want to try the design canvas directly without making an account, you can go to whostudios.com/demo

(Anything you make in the demo is local only and disappears on refresh — no account needed, no data stored.)

This is the first thing I've ever coded, so I am happy to answer any questions, comments, or concerns. In the meantime, I hope you have a tremendous day!
