Whiteboard Scribe Prototype
A local storyboard-to-animated-preview renderer for course explainers and short-form technical education visuals.
Project file
Problem: Educational products need repeatable visual explainers without buying tools too early or depending on unclear asset rights.
Role: Prototype builder, product planner, workflow designer
Date: 2026
Tools: Node.js, HTML, CSS animation, JSON storyboard schema
Receipts
Outcomes and lessons.
Outcomes
- Local prototype converts JSON storyboard data into animated browser previews.
- No paid dependency required for MVP exploration.
- Public examples require rights review before publishing.
Lessons
- Learn the capability pattern, do not clone proprietary templates or assets.
- Course visuals need readability rules before volume production.
Whiteboard Scribe is a useful lab artifact because it shows how internal tools are evaluated: understand the workflow, build the smallest owned version, avoid premature subscriptions, and route public assets through rights review before publishing.
