Problem
Most canvas tools want an account before you can type a word, and export a flat image you cannot edit. I wanted a tool where you open the page, fill in the blocks, and walk away with a file your team can actually edit, without your strategy ever leaving your browser.
- Role
- Solo builder (personal project)
Architecture
What was built
A static Astro site where every canvas lives in the visitor’s browser. There is no account, server or database.
Three canvases, seven languages
Business Model Canvas, Lean Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas, each in English, French, Spanish, German, Indonesian, Italian and Portuguese. Four visual themes, plus light and dark mode.
Client-side persistence
Canvas data is saved to localStorage as you type. JSON save and load moves a canvas between devices without an account.
Editable exports
Exports are generated in the browser as real documents, not images. The Word file is a genuine 5×2 table, and the PowerPoint file is one slide with nine independently editable shapes.
