REDESIGN STUDY · DOC EDIT VIEW
Three ways to write in Orimora.
A self-hosted Markdown editor for people who live in their notes. Three different takes on the same doc edit view — different posture, same source of truth.
03 DIRECTIONS
Same brief, three postures.
Each variant interprets Orimora's "knowledge that lives" promise differently: as a place to focus, a workbench to ship, or a structured outline to grow. The writing surface is the same Markdown — what changes is the room around it.
Distraction-free paper
A quiet, centered writing column on warm off-white. Chrome retreats when you type. For long-form thinking, daily notes, journal entries.
Open variantPower-user split
Three persistent columns: file tree, editor, outline + AI. Dark, dense, keyboard-first. For technical docs, project plans, code-heavy notes.
Open variantOutline-first, block-focused
The Orimora thesis made visible: every block is a card with a pulse. Outline rail, contextual AI, backlinks. For structured knowledge that grows.

The marketing home, in two passes.
Same 12-section DNA as orimora.com/en — same palette, same type, same copy beats — but two different envelopes: a dark sleek pass with live Kaizen pulse, and a warm-paper editorial pass with framed DocumentNetwork. Both are the marketing home; only the room around the content changes.
Home — sleek
Dark warm-black envelope. Grain and auras dropped, bento and pricing more breathable, one live Kaizen pulse animation in the hero mockup, clay used at most twice per section. The closer pass to the live site.
Open the sleek homeHome — paper editorial
Warm paper editorial. Cormorant Garamond display + Inter body, no theme toggle, ink-bordered featured pricing, dark-inverted CTA, framed DocumentNetwork labeled "fig. 01". A magazine treatment of the same 12 sections.
