From a precise editing task to a working browser product.
SVG Path Studio connects product scope, interaction design, implementation and delivery—with a real import/export problem traced, corrected and checked in the public product.
My role: product design and software engineering, with human-led, agent-assisted implementation. This is my own product, not a commissioned client project.
A focused product boundary
Make a small change to an existing SVG path, compare it and export it for the original workflow. The free browser trial provides direct geometry controls, Undo/Redo, examples and local backups without requiring an account. It focuses on path editing; import and export limits are explained on the product page.
The preview was not enough
In a checked import–edit–export workflow, the path was editable and Undo worked, but the export changed the original viewport and colour behaviour. I traced the difference between importing a complete document and importing geometry. The correction preserves the tested document’s viewBox, dimension attributes, preserveAspectRatio and relative path paint, while retaining a separate geometry workflow.
A minimal example makes the intended change independently checkable.
Verification and delivery
The 6 October 2026 release passed 684 tests across 61 files, including four added document round-trip cases, plus build, lint and deployment checks. In the public browser version, I checked editing, export, Undo/Redo and the rendered output independently.
These checks establish tested workflows, not lossless support for every SVG feature. The product remains an early trial; customer adoption and commercial outcomes have not yet been established.
A feature is ready when it works in the user’s actual workflow, including the handoff to another tool. For your product, I define that outcome with you, build a focused version and make the acceptance checks explicit.
