Portfolio Ideator topic generator — discipline selection grid above a brain-dump textarea, all set in editorial serif type

built with claude · shipped to vercel

Portfolio Ideator tackles the hardest part of an art-school application: not the making, but deciding what to make. Pick disciplines, then brain-dump your interests and references; a Gemini prompt turns that into briefs an admissions tutor would respect — specific enough to start tomorrow, ambitious enough to read like a thesis. The serif-and-monospace interface feels like an academic worksheet, not a SaaS product. Built solo with Claude, shipped to Vercel; next: a mini moodboard alongside each brief, so the output is a pin-up starting point, not just text.
