Project case study
ChromaLens
A focused mobile utility for keeping a specialty cosplay contact-lens collection organized and manageable.
Case study by Wallace Panter
Product overview
ChromaLens is a React Native mobile utility centered on tracking and managing specialty contact lenses used for cosplay.
The project applies a deliberately small product scope to a specific organizational need instead of turning a simple workflow into a broad platform.
The challenge
Specialty lenses are a distinct part of a cosplay collection. A general notes or inventory tool does not provide a purpose-built experience for keeping those records together.
The product needed to stay quick and approachable on mobile, where the information is most useful during planning and preparation.
What I delivered
Built a cross-platform mobile application with React Native and Expo.
Kept the interaction model focused on the core tracking and management workflow for specialty contact lenses.
Used a shared mobile codebase so the product can evolve without maintaining separate native implementations.
Architecture
- React Native supplies the cross-platform interface and application model.
- Expo supplies the mobile development and delivery toolchain.
- The intentionally compact stack matches the focused scope of the utility.
Outcome
- Created a purpose-built utility for a narrowly defined user workflow.
- Demonstrated product-scope discipline alongside cross-platform mobile implementation.
- Established a straightforward React Native and Expo foundation for future iteration.
