I kicked off the project with an exploration of how copying would look with visual feedback. It is subtle, but I have seen myself and others hit shortcuts repeatedly when they lacked feedback and copying is one of them.

So I launched this project recently. It’s a space where we explore novel possibilities in digital interfaces. Please take a look and let me know all your feedback! ✨ prabros.com/adjacent-possi…

A space where we explore novel interfaces for digital software.

The next one was Quick Stash: Imagining a quick access temporary store on your mobile to save and retrieve images, website URLs, and other resources without filling up your gallery/storage. You can see the full video over at: prabros.com/adjacent-possi…
Then I moved on to explore an interface enhancement that could help one explore and compare design variants without a lot of tiring undos and redos. A live hover preview for design operations. Full video here: prabros.com/adjacent-possi…
Next, I tried to come up with a solution for an issue I confront often in software - Finding stuff you vaguely remember. Depicted below are four different types of searches one could use to find text content that seems elusive.
And here is the latest addition to the project. Sometimes, you wish you could insert a message in-between other messages to clarify / add more context to something you said already or maybe just want to reorder the messages you brain-dumped in a chat.
Imagining a system-wide swap action that could allow users to fix mixed-up entries, explore different layouts quickly in design tools, fix bugs in code, change priorities in a to-do app, and a lot more. Read the full post on: prabros.com/adjacent-possi…
Some great stuff! It would be nice to have a permalink option in the Share section - I don’t want to WhatsApp or telegram this stuff, but might want to paste a link to it somewhere!
I added it on the website. Thanks for suggesting! posts.cv/prnv/zbjh8dH7n…

Added a handful of little details to the Adjacent Possible website: https://prabros.com/adjacent-possible/
Go poke around if you haven't yet and if the stars align, you might even find a little surprise! :)

Your search idea is super cool! It reminds me of the AAC app Proloquo, where they have an auxiliary column of related words for ease of use
That’s really well done. I can’t believe I’m seeing some of these ideas for the first time!
