FocusUI

FocusUI is a new type of web interface that allows users to focus on the most important content and immediate actions of the moment while minimizing distractions and clutter. It is designed to be simple, intuitive, and easy to use. It is built on top of the latest web technologies and is compatible with all modern browsers.

Design Philosophy

The entire interface follows a left-to-right user journey approach (this can be adjusted later): on the left hand side there are all the input streams, on the right hand side there are all the output streams, and in the middle there is the main focus area.

There are no menus, the interaction is taking place in the middle section, based on the actual content that's being displayed.

Live Implementation Screenshots

Current Working Interface

FocusUI has been implemented with a beautiful glass morphism design and advanced drawer system.

Base Interface with Glass Effects

Clean, minimalist interface featuring glass morphism drawers with backdrop blur effects and subtle transparency.

Expanded Primary Drawer with Social Media Icons

Dual Drawer System - Primary and Secondary Navigation

Both primary and secondary drawers active showing layered navigation

Advanced dual drawer system with proper z-index layering, where the secondary drawer provides additional navigation options while maintaining visual hierarchy.

Concept Evolution

The design concepts in the concepts/ folder demonstrate a systematic exploration of drawer-based navigation layouts.

Basic Layout Concepts (001-006)

  • Concept 001: Left sidebar/drawer in collapsed state
  • Concept 002: Right sidebar/drawer in collapsed state
  • Concept 003: Dual drawers (left + right) simultaneously
  • Concept 004: Three-panel layout (left + right + top)
  • Concept 005: Four-panel layout (left + right + top + bottom)
  • Concept 006: Expanded left drawer demonstration

As the content from the various sources gets streamed, their relevance and importance are calculated.

Only the most important sources are displayed in the second, extended drawer.

Concept 010

Functional Implementation (010)

The final concepts show actual functionality with populated sidebars:

  • 010-incoming-sources-expanded: Fully populated left sidebar (aka "primary drawer") featuring various application icons for communication and productivity tools
  • 010-incoming-sources-expanded-importance: Same layout with visual priority indicators using color coding (orange/red gradient) to highlight important sources

Key Design Principles

  • Focus-oriented interface: Keeps main workspace clean and uncluttered
  • Modular drawer system: Collapsible panels organize different input/output sources
  • Visual hierarchy: Color coding for importance and categorization
  • Progressive disclosure: Panels can be added incrementally based on user needs

Implementation Phases

Phase 1: Core Layout

  • Implement basic drawer system (left, right, top, bottom)
  • Add responsive behavior and animations
  • Create theme system for consistent styling

Phase 2: Content Integration

  • Add icon/source management system
  • Implement priority/importance indicators
  • Create drag-and-drop functionality for organizing sources

Phase 3: Advanced Features

  • Add keyboard shortcuts and accessibility features
  • Implement user preferences and state persistence
  • Add real-time updates and notifications

Phase 4: Polish & Performance

  • Optimize bundle size and loading performance
  • Add advanced animations and micro-interactions
  • Implement comprehensive testing suite
